CHAPTER ONE

After Divorce, Ex Husband Fell In Love With Me

It was her grandfather's funeral and the world couldn't be more weighing down on her.She felt she had lost all hope to live.When she was just a little girl and her parents passed away leaving her behind, her grandfather had took her in and treated her like she was his immediate daughter. She loved him so much.It has being three month since he passed away, and her heart had been shredded to several pieces since then. She doesn't care about anything anymore just like she had lost the hope to live. Her grandfather who initiated everything was gone now, what was left?She sniffed in bitterly as she concluded with herself to serve Lucas a divorce paper as soon as she gets home.Lucas never wanted it anyways, hence there was no need to stay any longer. Her eyes held coldness in them and her focus was far away, thinking of how to get away from Lucas whom she considered a devil.She sniffed in, fighting the tears threatening to drop her eyes.A beep sound could be heard and she brought out her phone."Just as you requested, the papers are ready now.." The message read."Alright, I'll get them." She replied back and placed back her phone in her bag.She was wearing a black gown, along with a black shade that compliment with her mourning state. Lucas had came earlier and left immediately for his work as he had said, leaving her alone to her woes at the funeral, she cried herself to stupor with no one to blame or lean on.She removed her shade to wipe a fling of tears that had escaped her eyes and then wore it back.The funeral prayer was over and everyone had to leave now including her.She extended her greetings to everyone and set out of the funeral home.When she got to the road, she stopped a taxi and hopped in almost immediately.Just as she was about to dropped down from the taxi, she brought it to her "You don't need to stress yourself Mrs Jasmine I've brought it down for you. And Good luck with your decision." Her lawyer muttered."Thank you Mrs Ray." She muttered and sat back down inside the taxi.She couldn't wait to get home now and serve him this papers just as she couldn't wait to get away from him forever.Five years ago when she had just clocked twenty, her grandfather had made an alliance with Lucas Grandfather, Mr Kingsley Greywood to get them married since Lucas could take care of her, according to her grandfather. The two had never knew each other or ever liked each other from anywhere, but once their grandparents suggested like that, they had no choice but to comply with the decree.They got married but Lucas drew a contract and brought it to her.She was shocked, but since it was a loveless marriage, it could be of advantage to her as well. They never had feelings for each other anyways, hence she agreed to sign the contract but unless she had a thorough read first.She sat on the couch while Lucas sat opposite her and the contract placed on the center table."I'll have to read it first." She muttered picking up the papers.'Agreement between J and L (J for Jasmine and L for Lucas)'-That J and L are just occupants of the apartment and nothing more, meaning J and L are only married on paper.-That even when L brought a girl to this house J will have nothing to say about it.She shooked her head vigorously at the second clause.There was no way she would let him disrespect her that much, and that was also a risk to her security. Lucas was a famous and brutal business man who was known to be strict with negotiation and had brought his company to excel so many times. He was a gorgeous man loved by all, business class girls including actresses and models often threw themselves at him which he never failed to used them. Bringing them to his home where Jasmine lives with him was a great threat to her security as some had even gone to the extent of being obsessive about him."No I won't accept that." Her heart thumbs faster in anxiety as he was that notorious with agreements and could refused her rejection. But instead, Lucas nonchalantly nodded."Let's rewrite the contract according to your wish then." He muttered.It surprised her, but she composed herself."Alright let's decree." She muttered and Lucas nodded at her to start first."That L will not bring any girl to this apartment to commit his atrocities.""That J will not question anything I had to do with my life outside the house.""That L will never for any reason look at my side.""Yes, I'm known for minding my business and I love it, hence even if J is dying I shall not look at her side.""That J will not be found in my space for any reason.""Yes, what will I be doing in your space anyways, that L wouldn't be found in my space either.""That J will always notify me of her whereabouts.""Why must I tell you my whereabouts when I don't know or care about yours?""I don't care about yours either, but I won't want your grandfather questioning me when you get kidnapped by some business enemies."She cleared her throat."Okay, that J is not responsible for L food and will cook anything she loves to eat at anytime.""I've got cooks, chefs, maids, gardeners, cleaners and lots more of them, so that shouldn't be a problem."With that, Lucas left with it and brought it back the next day for her signature which she signed boldly and he left with it.Since then they had being abiding by it until she decided she couldn't continue this sham of a marriage anymore, since the one she was even committing to the marriage because of was no more.Her phone light suddenly brightened up and she shooked her head at the content of the message. It was from one of Lucas b!tch again. This had being happening for long now as they kept sending her nude pictures of themselves and Lucas on a bed to get her provoked to leave. But they never knew she and Lucas were only married on papers and that those pictures never moved her.While she was almost closed to the house, a thought suddenly popped on her head.The fact that Lucas might not be home right now wrecked her mind but she had to give him today by any means, even if it had to be at the office.Hence she decided to go to his office, and in few minutes, she was standing in front of a tall mirror building that's almost reaching fifteen storey.It reminded her of the last time she had came here.That was when her grandfather had sent her to Lucas and she even had to caught him making out with his b!tchy secretary.She dumped the thoughts aside and made her way into the building. Anxiety finding it's way to her guts, what if she was doing a wrong thing coming to his office?? This was never written in the contract, what if he Sue her?? She couldn't stop thinking until she had to scold herself."Jasmine focus, you're here already, whatever comes with it, deal with it, so far it'll take you away from him." She scolded. She swiftly took the elevator to his floor, and just as she was about opening his door, she was met face to face with the b!tchy secretary.

Her cold stare lingering from her head down to her feet."What are you doing here?" she muttered, checking her out once more."You're not even Lucas type, why do you keep coming back? Stop wasting your time, he likes it like this, not way too calm of a b!tch like you." She Beamed, pointing at herself.Jasmine didn't come all the way here to exchange words with some cheap b!tch who allowed herself to be used as a toy by Lucas, hence she motioned forward to go in, but she blocked her way."Excuse me, I want to see your boss." Jasmine muttered since she seemed to want to hear her voice so much."Do you have an appointment?" She asked disdainfully.Jasmine realised she needed an appointment to be able to see a big CEO of a company like Lucas, the last time she came here, her grandfather had given her a paper which seemed like an appointment even though she never used it, as she had met him having his affairs. And today she came all by herself, it was going to be a tough one hence she turned around to leave. But no, she really needed to give him this before it gets cold and she began feeling bad and then agreed to lifetime misery.She turned around and spoke politely with the secretary once again."Can you tell him, Jasmine is here to see him.""No, he's in a meeting right now and you can't see him."Jasmine was on the verge of loosing it now when she pushed the secretary aside and hopped in while she sprung after her."You can't badge in like that! you can't.. you can't.." She kept yelling until Jasmine got to his office and held his door opened at once."I'm sorry Sir, she just wouldn't listen." He raised his brows upon her appearance and turned politely to his secretary."It's okay, you can go, she's a family." Lucas muttered and she left.Jasmine entered to meet some other guys, almost five of them in his office dressed in the same coperate way.He seemed to be in a meeting."What brings you to my office??" He asked in his gentle manly voice. The voice whom Jasmine hated the most, while he sounded cool and organised, he was the most dangerous person she had ever met.Jasmine stood and refused to speak, hoping he'd asked his colleagues to leave since her topic was rather sensitive.Lucas looking at her knew what she was thinking."As you can see, we were in a meeting before you badged in, you can either say what you came here to say or leave."He muttered. The fact he was surprised about her sudden visit, was not hidden."You wouldn't want me to say it in their presence." Her heart was thumbing fast, but she managed to concealed it."Say it." "Okay, I came with a paper that'll require your signature."Lucas raised a brow at her, wondering what documents she must've brought, was she selling off her grandfather's company already??He watched as she snuggled an envelope out of her bag.He swiftly collected it from her hand as he had no seconds to waste for her.And just as he opened it, words left his throat, and he just had to asked them to leave him for a moment.When they walked out and closed the door behind them, he stood up from where he sat with an unbelievable scoffs escaping his lungs. This was shocking to him."You want a divorce??" He asked.Jasmine nodded firmly getting him more shocked.She was really ready. "I thought you were okay with everything.""Yes I was, but I think it's time to put an end to this sham.""Sham??" Lucas tilted his head aside."We've been married for over five years now, and all of a sudden you want out??""Yes, five good years of misery." She almost yelled recalling all the tearful nights and lonely moments she had in that huge house."What do you need? a new car?? vacation??" Jasmine scoffed at his guts, the fact that he thought everything was all about his money also irked her to her bone marrow. Even though her grandfather's company was not among the tops, she could atleast get a new car from there if she wanted. Why does he think she needed his money so much?"Tell me what the f*ck you want and get out.""Divorce! that's all I want." She answered resolutely and dashed out of the office banging the door behind her.Lucas sat down quietly as he thought about what had gone wrong and why she suddenly had to opt out for something she had been okay with for the past five years of her life.Then he concluded to himself. He had nothing to lose anyways. If she wanted a divorce, then that shouldn't be a problem. He would give her, after all she was of no use or whatsoever to his life.He picked up his pen to sign the papers., but he kept wondering."Jasmine?" With his head tilted aside, he muttered. His pen down on the papers but to sign was a big problem for him, which made him wondered why. Not like he had ever fancied her, then why?He was still in thoughts when his door flickered opened, revealing his friend Jack. "That was an aggressive bitch right there." Jack voiced."Just keep quiet, you don't know her.""Who's she ??""Ask that later, for now let's round up the meeting, call the rest." He muttered giving him a tired and confused look."Alright alright.. but you must later.." Just as Jack left, Lucas stood up and dashed out of his office.He couldn't concentrate anymore and must go out to find out why."Are you available right now?" He called and spoke to someone who agreed to his question almost immediately."Meet me at five star hotel." He ended his call and drove recklessly out of the company. Maybe after having a nice moment with one of his b!tch, he should be able to think properly.Then he saw that his phone began ringing. Seeing it was Jack, he turned it off immediately and head on to the only place he believed could clear off his head.

--------------

Jasmine held on her chest while she sat at a corner of her room with streams of tears dripping down her eyes.Was she making the right decision?She wondered if her late grandfather would be happy with her after she does this. She sniffed in bitterly.Right before he died, he had asked her if she was happy in her marriage.She replied a yes, accompanied with a bright smile that hide all the pains and nightmares she was going through in her marriage.And what was she supposed to tell him, he was terribly sick and on a life support machine, telling him she wasn't doing well with Lucas would've got him worried and triggered a heart attack and probably had him died before this time.Then her phone flickered bright, showing her an image from one of Lucas b!tch yet again."This was the clothes he was wearing when I met him earlier." she muttered almost in whispers., she couldn't be more disgusted at him. It only meant he truly never cared for her.She swiftly cleaned her face and stood up to her bed.This was supposed to be a happy moment for her. The moment she leave this wicked and inconsiderate man for her mental health and a more happier life.She left to her kitchen and came back with a bottle of wine and a glass cup.When she filled it, her eyes held excitement."Cheers to a happy life ahead." she beamed and downed the cup immediately.

"Guy, you faltered the meeting, what's up with you?" Leo asked.When Lucas got back, he felt he couldn't go home to meet Jasmine and decided to go to their hang out spot unknown to him Leo was also there."Heyy, Xup,." Jack showed up, and Lucas just had to hiss.He was always known to be the troublesome and poke nosing one among them."Why did you leave like that? you went to a b!tch right??""It's none of your f*cking business, can you now sit." "Of course I will, who was that gurl earlier.. can I get her contact?? like she's got the curve, the height and face and even the aura. I really want her contact bruh.""No." It came out from his throat in an almost icy cold voice.Jack formed a fake shiver."That was way too cold..""Can you leave him alone?? but is telling us who she really was that hard for you, Lucas?" Leo butt in."He said she was a family, all I need is her contact. I want her and I wouldn't hurt her bruh, just set me up!" Jack muttered almost yelling coupled with a frustrated look."No!" "But why??""Because she's my wife!"

Leo gasped but Jack didn't quiver as he just accomplished his mission, making him spill who she really was.But the fact Lucas refused to acknowledge such a pretty lady, amazed him."You mean this is the woman you don't love and refused to show us or the media?" Leo spoke out of surprise."She's way too beautiful than all this plastic surgery actresses you carry up and down Bruh, is there anything you're hiding from us??""None," Jack spoke on his behalf."Except their marriage was arranged." "If my marriage was arranged with someone like that, I would love her and cherish her with the whole of my life. By the way, if you don't want her, you can pass it here." Leo complimented."Shut the f*ck up you two, you're busting my ears." He suddenly yelled out of frustration.Since they were adding more to his confusion, he stood and left without a glance back at them.When he got to his car, he wondered why he had to be so worked up at Leo's words."If you don't want her, you can pass it here." It rang in his ears and he couldn't be more disgusted at himself."{Why the f*ck am I overreacting? she can leave if she want! It remove absolutely nothing from my life}."Once he got home, he walked slowly on tiptoes to prevent his legs from making any sounds trying to avoid Jasmine by all means.He branched the kitchen to get a bottle of water and there he met it.A note paper attached to the kitchen handle."If you've signed it, you can drop it here." He read and a painful scoffs escaped his mouth. He looked through his bag and fetched it out.With a light squize on the paper, she dashed off vigorously to her room.But then, the scene he met broke him to several pieces.Jasmine had a music banging loud in her room, along with a non alcoholic wine while she danced to the tune.His jaw dropped and his eyes opened wide.She really wanted this.She had thoughts severally on this and finally decided. It made her happy. She wanted to be faraway from him so much. He thoughts and It crushed his heart to several pieces.Meanwhile, Jasmine who was lost in her own world, blending perfectly with her music turned around to see her door slightly opened.She fell rumbly on her butt seeing Lucas with a jaw almost reaching the floor.She swiftly dragged her bedsheets, wrapping it up on her head out of embarrassment.Since when did he start coming to her room??Her forehead held sweats as she finally removed it.She stood up slowly to the door."Welcome.." She muttered almost inaudibly and held her door handle to close it on his face and just then he opened his mouth and spoke."We need to talk."Jasmine flinched at his request.Jasmine flinched at his request.She hated to talk about anything right now as she already felt sad earlier and wouldn't want that feeling to return.But just as she was about to decline, Lucas already turned his back and was gone in a jiffy, just like always.She heaved a heavy breath and staggerd down stairs.He stood in front of the glass window staring effortlessly out of it. And his back turned gracefully at everything in the living room including Jasmine."Is this what you want." He asked coldly."Yes," Jasmine had no other words to say, hence she muttered courtly."Your grandfather's burial was just few hours back and you're ready to let go of what he so wanted for you? were you waiting for his death to get out of this marriage?"This angered Jasmine, she folded her fingers into a tight fist trying to suppress herself from slapping him on the face. But then her anger was nothing compared to that of Lucas as her grandfather had being his closed adviser and mentor right from childhood when he used to visit so much. Their both grandparents were best friends that everyone could think they were blood related. Since the death of the man, he hasn't been finding it funny along with his grandfather who was on a life support machine now due to the death of his only best friend. And now Jasmine wanted a divorce."Grandfather would never want something like this for me. He had always wanted me happy and full of life, not this!" She countered."Aren't you happy?! why aren't you happy! I gave you everything! and I'm following the contract as strictly as possible."Jasmine scoffed painfully, what was the problem in the first place. Why should they be a contract in a marriage.Where as Jasmine bite her lower lips out of pain and anger, Lucas was still wondering where the problem must've originated from as he had always provided everything she needed which was even absolutely nothing out of his wealth."If that's what you want, I'll give it to you." "And do me favor, I don't want to see you when I get back from work tomorrow, be gone! and if you regret this, don't ever think you can come back." He stamped coldly and went away in large strides."Thank you." Jasmine muttered and left back to her room, but now in a sullen state.She felt she had disappointed everybody including her grandfather in the grave.She felt she had disappointed everybody including her grandfather in the grave.Now the what ifs questions was back. What if she was making the wrong decision?She shooked her head vigorously dissolving the feelings of letdown that was building up in her guts. She heard about grandpa Kingsley's condition and her doubts to continue this intensified. She shooked her head once more as she declared."{That's Lucas problems to take care of}."Just then, her phone shone bright and a call came in whose caller ID was one that made her lips curved into a little smile.It was Mrs Ray. "Your husband's lawyer has just called in to finalise your divorce, will you be available tomorrow??""Yes I will, thanks Mrs Ray.""Alright, I have some other things to say to you, I don't how you'll take this though.""Please tell me." Jasmine requested."I'm sorry, but your grandfather's company has been taken away from you"." she voiced.Jasmine's legs wobbled and she fell to the floor with the phone still in her hands."Hello.. hello.." Mrs Ray sounded from the other end as she heard no voice anymore."Do you need me to come over??"She slowly took the phone back to her ears.Although she already knew who must've dragged her birthright from her like this, but she still needed to confirm it."Who was it." she managed to speak.
