The Billionaire Tech Genius Gets His Revenge

A Fake marriage offer

The lady wrinkled an eyebrow.

“You don't recognize me? It's me, Kara. We spoke on the phone,” she said. “Oh, it's the blonde hair, isn't it? I had to get a disguise to come here without my bodyguards.” She smiled.

“Um… I am sorry but you must be mistaken. You have the wrong person.” Ethan replied.

“Mistaken? Ah, I see what is going on. Fine, I will increase the payment to three million dollars.” She announced.

“That's a very nice offer, but like I said, you have the wrong person. I never spoke to you on the phone, I am not who you are here to meet.” Ethan explained.

“You are not Mr. Smith?” She asked with a confused expression.

Ethan pulled out his business card and gave it to her. “No Ms, I am Ethan Vale,” he announced.

Kara was surprised to hear this, she looked at the card for confirmation.

“Oh my God, I am really sorry about this.” She said, pulling the paper back. “I was supposed to meet someone here at this place, I guess he developed cold feet.”

“Yeah, I am sorry about that.” Ethan replied nonchalantly, he didn't care about this, he just wanted to eat his pie and go home to sulk.

“It's alright. By the way, I know it's a long shot but would you be interested in this deal?” she suddenly asked.

Ethan paused and looked up at her. “Huh? You don't even know me.”

“You are right, but I am desperate right now and you look like a good guy.”

Ethan smiled for the first time in a long time. “That's a nice thing to say, however I must decline,” he said, waving his finger to reveal his ring. “I am married already.”

“Oh,” she gasped. “I am so sorry, how did I not see that? I will leave you alone now, sorry for the disturbance, Mr. Vale.” She said in a rush and stood up.

“It's no problem.”

Ethan didn't bother to ask why she needed a contract husband, he had problems of his own to deal with. But she was a very beautiful woman with a stunning physique, so it shouldn't be that difficult finding a man willing to marry her.

His eyes trailed her shape from behind as she walked away and he thought about his wife. What could she be doing right now?

Ethan tried calling her but she wouldn't answer, he went online and the first post that appeared on his feed was that of Damian Lillard.

Damian has just posted pictures of him and Clara on a dinner outing at a restaurant, she was wearing the exact outfit he had seen her leave in.

On a closer look, Ethan realized that it was this exact same restaurant that he was in. He couldn't believe it, his wife had come to the most expensive restaurant in York town with another man on their wedding anniversary.

He rushed out and checked all the tables but he couldn't find them, the restaurant manager had to send him out of the place as he was causing a scene.

Ethan hopped into his car and sped off. He figured they already left and Clara would be on her way home if not there already.

How could she treat him this way? He went to great lengths to make plans for tonight but she couldn't care less, rather she was out with another man.

Getting inside their home, he found her in the living room pouring herself a glass of champagne.

Clara stood up with a frown the moment she saw him. “Where did you go? You were supposed to be waiting for me here at home. I have been waiting here for over twenty minutes! Don't you even care about the fact that it is our anniversary? Does this family even matter to you?” She yelled.

Ethan huffed, he couldn't believe her lies. Twenty minutes? The AI powered tech door revealed that she had only walked in four minutes ago, and why was she pretending to care about their anniversary?

“Aren't you going to answer me? Why are you giving me that attitude? Can't you apologize?”

Of course, that's what it always was with her, his apology. She enjoyed making him feel miserable and guilty, she loved playing the victim and it was getting old now.

“Clara, don't pretend to care about our wedding anniversary. You didn't even remember it was today until I mentioned it. And if I might ask, where are you coming from? Why have you been ignoring my calls?” He queried.

Clara avoided his gaze at the question, she immediately picked up a package and tossed it to him. “I have been all over town trying to get you those, it's a brand new pair from a famous brand like you requested.” She announced.

Ethan was reluctant to check it but he picked it up and opened it. Truly, it was a new pair of shoes, but it didn't take more than five seconds for him to recognize that it was a bonus pair.

The shoe was a substandard version of the original shoe which came as a bonus for buying three pairs of St. Vincent luxury shoes. So if she was giving him the bonus pair, then clearly she had given someone else the original and he already knew who.

But just to confirm, Ethan took out his phone and went alone. Like he suspected, Damian had made a post showing a new collection of shoes.

He had captioned it. “Extra gifts from my sexy boss, I love her so much” and the payer's name was none other than his wife: Clara Kent.

Ethan laughed bitterly, swallowing the furious words forming in his throat. He quickly tossed the shoes to the floor.

“You can as well throw them into the trashcan, I don't wear worthless items.” he blurted.

“What?” Clara muttered and the very next second, she slapped him hard across the face. “How dare you, Ethan?!”
