THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE

“Why do you keep working here when you’re the chairman of the biggest conglomerate in the whole country? This work is beneath you. It breaks my heart to see you in this condition, young master.” 

“Don’t call me that. I told you to stop this. I’m not the one you’re looking for.” Roman shook his head as the blonde woman wearing designer brands from head to toe approached him again.

This was the fifth time this month that she was coming here even after he told her to leave him alone. 

He smacked his gloves together and dust floated around him. He stood and stretched, hearing his joints pop after another grueling day at the construction site. 

His job was to clear debris from the area so the engineers could be free to continue work without obstruction. He was basically their janitor.

“I hired a private investigator to find out the truth. You just don’t remember your true identity because of the accident you were involved in. It took us three years to find you. Please come home and reclaim your rightful place.” She pleaded with tears in her eyes.

“Look. Today is my wedding anniversary, and I have plans. I can’t deal with this absurd situation anymore.” He turned to leave, but she shouted,

“Wait! Take this.” She stretched her arms and handed over two items.

A black card and an antique ring with detailed engraving. 

“Go to the bank and check the balance by yourself. The password is your birthday. You’re one of the richest people in the country. Maybe when they confirm your identity, you’ll finally believe me. And the ring belonged to your mother. It used to be your most cherished possession. I’m hoping it will help jog your memory.”

He scoffed at her words. If not for the fact that she was dressed properly, and spoke eloquently, he would have assumed she was crazy.

 Maybe she was just high on something. 

He only accepted the items so she would leave him alone. 

He watched her walk away and then enter an expensive sports car. As the car drove away, he saw another car that he recognised across the street, parked in front of a restaurant. 

It belonged to his wife. 

What was she doing there? And why hadn’t she called? 

Could it be that she was also planning some surprise for him?

Thinking of that, he smiled. 

He crossed over and then met his wife stepping out of the restaurant. He quickly approached her.

“Darl-” before he could finish his sentence,the words caught in his throat as he saw a man standing beside her, his arm wrapped possessively around her waist.

She saw him and her smile instantly vanished.

“You’re already here. Good. Now I don’t have to walk over to that filthy place you work at.” She paused, her face remained impassive, “ I want a divorce.”

“What do you mean, Haylee? Today is our anniversary.”

“It doesn’t matter. This marriage is no longer a good match for me. I just became the CEO of the company, and my networth is now 100 million dollars. The difference between our social status is now too much.” She responded coldly.

His eyes widened as he stared in shock at the woman he loved for three years.

“So you want to toss me aside, just because you became the CEO? Have you forgotten that I was the one doing everything to make you comfortable while you pursue your career? Now, you say you want a divorce because of my low status, but I don’t think that’s the main reason.

As he said that, she had a flash of guilt on her face. It was true that she got this far with his support.

“You’re right. You helped me with domestic things, but what I really need help with is my career. You can’t help me with that in any way. This man with me is Hamilton Dane, the first son of the Dane family, one of the four powerful families in the city. He has connections, prestige and resources to help with my company’s expansion. You have none of that.” She said to him, and he scoffed.

“That’s all? You just want a man to match your new status. And you think this man is your best option?”

“Look, what I do is none of your business, and I don’t want us to enter a legal battle. I appreciate all your help so far, but we’re no longer a good match. It’s as simple as that. This is the divorce agreement.” 

She handed him the document. “Don’t worry, I will compensate you properly in return. Two million dollars should be enough. After all, even if you work at your job for five years, you’ll never be able to make that much.”

“Wow. Really? His job is that trashy? No wonder you want to leave him. He’s worth less than the shoes on my feet. How pathetic. I bet the money I make in an hour is more than what you make monthly.” Hamilton laughed at Roman with a haughty expression on his face.

“Look, Roman, if two million was not enough for you, I can make it three million, but that’s my final offer.” Haylee said to Roman to try and pacify him. 

She was sure that he would easily agree to the divorce because of the money, until he spoke and she realised he didn’t care about the money at all.

“Is that really what all our three years of marriage means to you? A few digits? Is money and status more important than all the time we spent together?”

“Don’t act like you don’t need the money. You’re poor and wretched. Look at you, dressed in rags and covered in dust.” Hamilton sneered at him with a disgusted expression. “You don’t even deserve to breathe the same air as people like us. I wonder how you can live with yourself when your existence is this miserable. If I were you, I would just kill myself.”

“Enough Hamilton.” Haylee interrupted him, then faced Roman again, waiting for his decision.

She had clearly made up her mind, and there was nothing he could do to change it. He just signed the divorce agreement, and turned away from them.
