Elijah just let out a small laugh, shaking his head slowly.

"So you wanted to get rid of me so badly that you now carry divorce papers around in your handbag?" Elijah asked his mother-in-law, his voice filled with disbelief. Mrs. Williams didn’t even try to hide it, she held her head up high with pride.

"Yes, I put it in my bag because I knew one day my daughter will ask for divorce. Sign this and go away," Mrs. Williams said as she handed him the divorce papers and a pen. Natasha glanced at her mother in shock, still wondering why she had been carrying the papers. She looked at the documents ,it was true, all the terms of their post-nup agreement were there.

Elijah stared at the divorce papers and simply shook his head. He sat on the couch, picked up the pen, and signed the papers without hesitation.

"Sign it so that I know this is the end of it. You can send it to the courts and get it approved yourself," Elijah said to Natasha, signing the papers as he had asked. Elijah nodded, grabbed his bag, and began walking toward the door.

"Elijah, wait," Natasha said suddenly. He stopped , hoping she might apologize or retract the divorce.

But instead, she walked up to him, opened her purse, and pulled out a bank card.

"I know that I have never given you any money since we got married, so take this money and this card. It has $50,000 in it. You can use this money as you need to get a hotel room for now. This is the last good thing I can do for you," Natasha told him, holding out the card and a $200 note.

Elijah looked at the money, then at her, and his heart ached.

"Do you think I was with you because of money? I was with you when you had nothing. Get that thing away from me!" Elijah said, his voice rising with pain and anger.

"Leave him. If he doesn't want to take the money, give it to me," Mrs. Williams said.

"Fine. If you do not want to take anything, then goodbye," Natasha said and began walking away.

"I promise you that you will regret ever listening to Henry and divorcing me," Elijah said, gritting his teeth. He turned around and stormed out the door, leaving the family behind.

Elijah took a cab to a nearby bus station and waited quietly. Within ten minutes, a black car pulled up in front of him. The driver stepped out of the car and bowed slightly.

"Sir, your ride is here," he said respectfully as he opened the back door.

Elijah entered the car and sat down, the door closing quietly behind him. The driver loaded his luggage into the boot and got behind the wheel.

In the backseat, Elijah pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you?" a voice answered immediately.

"I want you to stop all support that we are giving to Natasha Enterprise and stop working with her effectively immediately," Elijah said calmly but firmly.

"Yes, sir. I will do it immediately," the person confirmed before ending the call.

Elijah leaned back and stared out of the window, he clenched his fists in anger.

"Since you believed Henry and said he was the one helping you, and decided to divorce me, let me see how far you go without my help," he muttered through clenched teeth.

He would make sure Natasha paid for playing with his feelings.

Meanwhile, at Natasha's mansion, four SUV cars pulled into her driveway. Natasha came out quickly, as she went to the front door to welcome her esteemed visitors.

Olivia Blake and her father, Mr. Blake, stepped out of the car along with four bodyguards. Natasha smiled warmly and approached them.

"Mr. Blake, Miss Olivia, it is a pleasure to have you in my house. Please come inside," Natasha said politely.

She led them into the living room and tried to make small talk, but Mr. Blake quickly cut her off.

"Mrs. Natasha, where is your husband Elijah Smith? Is he not at home?" he asked with a firm tone.

"My husband and I signed the divorce papers today, so he's not here. Is there anything he can do for you?" she asked carefully.

"If he's not here, then there's nothing we can discuss with you. We will see another time," Mr. Blake said, rising from his seat with Olivia by his side.

Natasha's brows furrowed in confusion. Why would they want Elijah?

"Why are you looking for Elijah?" she inquired, walking after them.

"Elijah saved my daughter from getting kidnapped today. And before I could get there to thank him, he had already disappeared. That was why I decided to come here immediately to see if I could meet him, but I guess he's not here. Have a nice day," Mr. Blake informed her.

Natasha stood frozen. She had no idea Elijah did anything like that today. If she had, she never would’ve gone through with the divorce.

This could’ve been her opportunity.

"Mr. Blake, can we discuss some business? You remember that I came to your company to apply for a partnership and you refused. Is there any way we can talk about this?" Natasha asked, hopeful.

"There is no way we can talk about it. If there's anyone I'm going to get into a partnership with, it is Elijah. And from what I’ve heard now, you said both signed divorce papers today. So, you're not part of his family anymore, and I cannot work with you," he said bluntly and walked away.

Despite Natasha’s protests, they got into their cars and drove off.

Natasha was surprised. Of all days, this had to happen today the day she asked Elijah for a divorce. If she had known that he saved Olivia, daughter of the very man she'd been trying to work with for years, she would have held onto him.

She quickly pulled out her phone and began calling Elijah.

She was shocked when he declined the call immediately. It was the first time he had ever done that.

She called again. This time, the number was unavailable.

"Did he just block my number?" Natasha asked aloud in disbelief. Desperate, she turned to her maid.

"Give me your phone!" she demanded, and the maid handed it over without question.

Using the maid's number, Natasha dialed Elijah again. This time, he answered and when he heard her voice he ended the call.

She quickly sent a message: “I don’t want to go ahead with the divorce anymore. Please come back home.”

Within seconds, she got a reply:

“I am going to block you on every one of my social media accounts and all your phone numbers. Don’t attempt to reach me again. Send those divorce papers to the court. Let’s get divorced as you wanted. I want nothing to do with you or your family again.”

Natasha read the message over and over again, struggling to comprehend how Elijah could just walk away from everything they had built.

Frustrated, she tried to send another message, but just as he had said, the number was now blocked. She tried to search for him on social media, all accounts were private, and she was blocked.

"Why is he going this far? Useless man!" she hissed in anger.

She knew Elijah well. If he had truly made up his mind to divorce her, then this was really the end.

Finally, she called her lawyer.

“Submit the divorce papers to the court,” she instructed coldly.

It was for the best.

Because Mr. Jordan disregarded everything I said and just left the conference room as if I could not do anything to him. Is this how he behaves?"

And they had.They had begun pulling out and confirmed that they had terminated their contracts with her company. Elijah's smile widened. Some of them even refused to accept the termination fees he offered to give back to them. They told him it was the least they could do for him. Elijah knew they were trying to build a good relationship with him, and it was working.The contract he had just signed and handed to his lawyer was for the purchase of Mr Godfrey’s shares in Natasha’s company.

He's one of the major s

    Elijah watched Natasha leave his office, and he clenched his fist.Deep in his heart, he promised himself that this woman would suffer for everything she had made him pass through, and he would make sure to destroy everything she had built using his name.Elijah sighed as he went to sit back on his chair. Then he took out his phone and dialed a number."Good morning, sir, what can I do for you?" a voice answered."Good morning. I want to inform you that I am breaking off all communication with Miss Natasha of Natasha Enterprise. You know I asked you to help her before. I want you to take back every help you have offered her. It is your choice if you want to continue working with her, but just know that if you work with her, then in the future, it might cause problems for us," Elijah informed the man on the other end of the line, his voice firm and calm.The man was silent for a second, then replied, "Mr. Smith, the only thing you need to tell me is what to do, and I’ll do it.

  • Chapter 8: I will succeed without your help.

    Elijah was in his office, typing on his laptop with one hand and sipping a cup of coffee with the other when he heard a knock on the door. His secretary stepped in and informed him that one of the security guards needed to speak with him. He gave a brief nod and told her to let the guard in.“Sir, Mrs. Natasha, your ex wife is in front of the company building and she said she has something important to discuss with you,” the security guard said, shifting nervously as Elijah glanced up at him and then looked back down at the floor.Elijah calmly took another sip from his cup before replying.“Did I not tell you that if she comes here, you should send her away?” he asked, his tone cold.“Yes, you did, sir, but she said it was a very important discussion,” the guard answered hesitantly.“And what does she want to tell me?” Elijah questioned, his eyes narrowing.“She says she is pregnant and she wants to talk to you. That was the only reason I came here,” the security guard added quickly,

  • Chapter 7: Revenge is sweet.

    Nothing was sweeter than revenge and making sure that people who lied against you knew that you would reveal their lies.Elijah could not stop smiling after he saw how Henry was looking at him as if he was some type of ghost, and Natasha was looking at him as if she regretted ever listening to anybody and divorcing him. But now,it was her own loss.“You seem happy. Was it because you put your ex-wife in her place?” Olivia asked him, since she had been observing him for a while and noticed he was smiling to himself. Elijah turned to her with an arched eyebrow.“Well, there is some type of joy that you get in your heart when you finally put someone in their place after all the lies. I think I am done with that. Let us not discuss anything concerning her. How are you doing? I hope you are not too shaken up about what happened that day?” Elijah inquired, leaning forward slightly as he looked into her eyes with genuine concern.He had made sure to stay there until she got to the police saf

  • Chapter 6: Why did Mr Smith cancel the contract?

    After another week, Natasha was facing a crisis. The project that she was supposed to start working on, which she needed the money for and she was going to get it from the contract, had to be put on hold. She could not find a way to contact Mr. Smith, and Henry told her that Mr. Smith refused to talk to him about anything concerning her because she had offended him. He refused to say how. But then, the moment of salvation came when Natasha was told that CEO Smith of Smith's Group was having a get-together. After seven long years of silence, he wanted to get to know everybody in the business world. All CEOs were invited, as long as you could show that you had a company doing well, you were welcome.Natasha, on that day, dressed her best in a red dress that stood out. It was off-shoulder, with a slit in the front, and it hugged her body so tight it showed off all her curves. From what she had heard, Mr. Smith was not yet 30 years old and still a single man. So she still had a chance to

    After a week, Natasha was in her office going through some files when her assistant CEO suddenly rushed in, looking out of breath."What are you doing here? Why did you just barge into my office?" Natasha asked, narrowing her eyes. She was sure she had told everyone to knock before entering."Natasha, Smith Group ,they've decided to cancel the second contract they gave us!" her assistant CEO announced.Natasha slammed her hand on the table and stood up."What do you mean they decided to cancel the second contract? We did the first one very well! That’s the only reason they gave us a second deal. So what happened? Why did they change their mind?" she asked, in confusion."I don’t know what happened," he replied nervously. "But I was just called now and informed that the contract has been canceled. What should we do?"Without wasting time, Natasha picked up her phone and dialed the number of George, the assistant CEO of Smith Group. He was also a good friend of Elijah.After a few rings
