Reincarnated Trillionaire Tycoon

Divorce

“I am sorry. I know I am being unreasonable but now we have nowhere to go. The rent had not been paid for 5 months and the landlord wants to throw us out.” Zen had a pitiful look on his face as he said. 

Stella’s eyes widened when she heard that, “But you didn’t tell me about this.” 

“I know… I didn’t want you to get worried.” 

Ruby’s face turned red as she gave Zen a death glare, “And what made you think that I will let you stay here in my house? You are already a worthless piece of trash which can give my daughter nothing and now you just want to rob us like this? Not going to happen!” 

Sarah rolled her eyes seeing the situation in front of her while Benjamin was enjoying every minute of this, he mocked him, “Wow! What a gift you gave her.” 

He turned towards Ruby and continued saying, “Mother in law you should be happy, he is giving you himself in your birthday gift. Why don’t you just keep him as your servant? I am sure he would be more than happy to lick your boots for you.” 

“Shut up..” Zen yelled at him but before he could complete his words he heard another voice interrupting him. 

“You shut up!” Ruby yelled, her nose flaring, “Get out of my house now! You fucking piece of shit.” 

Zen bowed his head down not knowing what to say anymore. He wanted the earth to swallow him right there. But he knew he had no other choice but to beg them. 

“Please! Just for a few days. Let us stay here.” Zen begged and tried his luck one more time. 

An arrogant look appeared on Ruby’s face, “Fine! I will give you some money but you would have to divorce my daughter and leave her for good. You can take the money, go away from here and live your life but you won’t disturb her ever again.” 

Hearing this Zen’s eyebrows scrunched together as his pupils dilated, “What are you talking about? I can’t leave her!” 

“Then just forget about the money.” 

Zen huffed, “Fine. I don’t want your money if the condition is this.” 

Stella stood quiet all along and observed the situation from a side, with a hint of worriedness on her face. 

“Let’s go, Stella.” 

Zen took some steps towards Stella hurriedly when he heard Ruby say from the back. 

“Huh! If you are thinking that you won’t leave her and continue to get more money from us bit by bit then I must say you are wrong. I would never give you a penny again.”

Her words caught Stella’s attention as she looked towards her, still deep in her thoughts. 

Zen ignored her and grabbed Stella’s wrist before moving out of the hall, dragging Stella with himself along. 

As soon as they were out of the house, Zen turned towards Stella and gave her an apologetic smile, “I am sorry…” 

Stella didn’t even let him finish and interrupted as she yelled at him with rage dripping out of her every word, “You what? Why did you embarrass me so much in front of my family like this? Do you think our current situation is not humiliating enough that you want to stack up more problems and embarrassment for me.” 

Zen’s face fell when he heard that. Taking some steps towards her, he tried grabbing her, “Don’t be like this! I had no other way. All my money went in my mother’s operation, she is still in the hospital and my sister is in jail. I need money to get her out too and in all that I can’t afford an apartment.” 

“Huh? So I have to suffer for the things they have been doing? Why?” 

“I won’t let you suffer. Just this once. Please!” Zen begged her but she rolled her eyes at him. 

“You know what? I am already tired of all this shet and I am not going to bother with you anymore. I can’t keep on living my life like this with a loser like you. I have been trying to endure it all but now I am just tired.” Her each and every word seemed to stab Zen multiples times right on his heart. 

Some unshed tears appeared in his eyes, not being able to explain himself anymore. He knew he wasn’t able to give his wife the life she deserved but he was still trying!

She curled her arms up and with an annoyed expression on her face, she continued saying, “You know what? Let’s just divorce and lessen each other’s burden.” 

Just as Zen heard that he felt like the earth slipping from under his feet. 

“Di… Divorce…” Choking on his words, he looked at Stella with pitiful eyes.

"Yes, divorce! You humiliated me so much today and I just can't even imagine how much more you want to humiliate me in front of my family and also my friends. You are going to stay a loser and your condition is never going to change, it's better to leave me and let me live my happy life too, which definetly won't be possible in that shabby house of yours." Her words came out pretty clear but it was obvious that Zen didn't want to hear those words. 

"Stella, baby, I know things have been tough but I am trying and don't you worry I will make everything right as soon as possible." Zen said. 

“I am tired of this miserable life. Just leave me alone.” With that said she angrily walked away from him leaving him standing there.

Just as she was gone he finally let his heart out and let those tears fall freely. His face got smeared with tears as he looked up at the sky.

“Why is life so unfair to me?”
