A Billionaire's Conundrum

Chapter Two

Rebecca took the divorce agreement and stared at it skeptically, her eyes gazing confusingly at Jeremy. She knew how little he was worth, from what she knew about her husband, he was a nobody feeding off the crumbs that the Jason family could give to him, 

Immediately, Rebecca thought the divorce was a ploy by Jeremy to get some money from her as alimony. But she was shocked to see from the agreement that he wanted nothing from her. 

Rebecca's mother, Pam rose from the floor despite her pain, astonished at the sudden turn of events. She eagerly snatched the agreement from Rebecca and read it critically. Seeing that Jeremey demanded nothing from Rebecca, she was pleased and laughed. 

"You must sign this at once." She stated with a smile. 

But Rebecca did not see it the way her mother did, she was furious because she believed that Jeremey was attempting to embarrass and humiliate her. 

Rebecca believed she was the successful one and if there was someone who wanted a divorce, it should be her and not the other way around. Jeremy had no right to serve her a divorce agreement and demand her to sign it.  Angry, she tore apart the agreement and scattered it on the floor. 

"I know you are planning to embarrass me, Jeremy, but that is impossible!" She snapped, enraged. 

Pam gasped at her actions, "What have you done? Why not sign it and let the fool go?" She scolded. 

Rebecca smiled and brought out another stack of papers from her bag, it was also a divorce agreement. It turned out that she too had planned to divorce Jeremy.

Rebecca turned to Jeremy with a scowl and said, "You know what? I had planned on giving you some sort of compensation to start off but now, I can see how ungrateful you are!" She snapped, shoving the papers at him. "I can assure you, you won't get a dime from me." 

Jeremy wore a smile on his face as he took the divorce agreement from her and signed it without any hesitation. 

Rebecca was surprised at his calm reaction and cocky smile, she had hoped that he would beg her for a change of heart and ask for forgiveness and she could then humiliate him for trying to divorce her first and send him away shamefully. But Jeremy was so undisturbed and calm. This only made Rebecca even more angry.

"You think you can do without us? Do you think you can do without me?! Why are you so calm? Where did you get this fake bravado from?!" She yelled angrily at him. "You should be begging for forgiveness and mercy, you know you need us," 

Jeremy remained stoic beside her and this only aggravated her the more. She pointed at him angrily, "Mark my words, you will surely come back groveling and it will be good late then, you will starve without the Jason family to take care of you, you have no one! You are a nobody!"

As Rebecca continued to snap and rant, Jeremy merely shook his head in disdain at her actions.  "Everything the Jason family possesses came from me, you were all bankrupt when I met you, or have you forgotten so soon?" He sneered at her. 

"You are ungrateful and so is your entire family," Jeremy said. 

"You're a joke!" Rebecca said, bursting out in a fit of laughter. She could not believe what he'd just said. 

"I have earned everything for the Jason family, what nonsense are you spewing?" She napped. 

Jeremy was not in the mood to explain himself so he calmly walked away. But Rebecca stood in his way and demanded that he apologize for what he had just said. 

Jeremy glared at her boldly and replied, "Get out of my way." 

Rebecca scoffed and moved away just as the strange man she'd arrived withstood before Jeremy, sneering. "That's no way to talk to a lady, and you've just insulted the Jason family. Your disrespect is making me sick!" he stated with a threatening frown, advancing towards Jeremy with clenched fists.  

 "You had better apologize to her right now or I will beat you to death." The man threatened. 

Jeremy laughed at the show, calm and undisturbed despite his threats. From the looks of the man, he knew all too well who he was and why he was at the Jason residence. "And who are you?" Jeremy asked. 

The man glared at Jeremy and replied, "I am Greg Wills, the CEO of the Wills group." He said and then held Rebecca's hand. "And I am Becca's new boyfriend, I will not stand and watch you disrespect my girlfriend and insult her family." He said and scowled at him menacingly. "I demand that you kneel right now and apologize to her."
