After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

2 “Let’s See What She Can Do.”

Three days had elapsed since Alexander Stone had dispatched Charles to deliver the divorce papers. He paced back and forth within the confines of his opulent corner office, boasting a panoramic view of the city skyline.

He was waiting for a consequence. And he was not surprised to get the result he expected.

He knew that his soon-to-be ex-wife would sign the papers. He offered a very generous price for this transaction, far higher than what she has paid in this marriage, but of course, she is taking the full three days to finish this sham of a marriage.

A soft knock at the door preceded Laura’s entrance. Laura, a trusted employee who had taken on the role of Alexander’s secretary, held an envelope containing the divorce decree, laying it delicately on the polished surface of his desk.

“She signed and has moved out,” Laura announced simply, her tone carrying an air of finality.

“Of course. She should be.” Alexander replied.

“It’s about damn time,” Emily Williams, a Branch Manager for Stone Enterprise, breezed into the office, her long black hair trailing behind her like a curtain of shadows.

“You should have kicked her out of that house years ago.”

Emily was Alexander’s childhood friend. Their families had been business partners, so naturally, Emily and Alexander were also business partners. Alexander treated her as his little sister.

Meeting Emily’s gaze, Alexander frowned, “Emily, you know why things had to unfold this way.”

He has always been a man that whatever he wanted, no matter the cost. This marriage was a way for him to seize control of the family business, so he took it.

“Maybe,” Emily responded, “but she lived in your house and relied on you for support while offering nothing in return. It’s fantastic that you’ve finally put that chapter behind you!”
