The Secret Trillionaire

chapter 1

In a dark room, stood Oliver who frowned and stared at the girl in front of him with unbelievably eyes.

"What! What did you just say?, Please repeat it. I heard it wrong, right?" he stammered

"I said I want divorce" she took out a stack of paper and threw it on the table.

"What did I do, what have I done wrong. I am sorry If I did anything wrong" Oliver held her hand.

She jabbed his hand off, "Are you now deaf?, I don't owe you any explanation".

"What did I do, what do you want?Tell me and I will do something about it" Oliver pleaded.

"I want a divorce, sign that paper now. I am fed up with your poor life, I can't keep up with someone as low life as you".

Oliver was shocked by the statement.

She pointed at the paper, "yeah, sign it please. I don't want someone like you in my life again".

Oliver Couldn't believe his ears and looked at the paper on the table. At the table was the meal he had prepared.

Tomorrow would mark his 23 years old. He has been waiting for that day, because that would be the time he would reveal who he really is to her.

He had waited all night for her to return, but she didn't.

He watched the time slip by until it was night, he tried calling her numerous times, it rang but didn't pick it.

He waited anxiously.

Then, the door was knocked.

He hurriedly stormed at the door and opened it.

Amelia was there, staggering, reeking of alcohol.

"Where have you been, why are you so wasted, is something bad happening at work today?" He asked and tried to hold her.

Amelia pushed him back and he nearly fell down.

"I want a divorce" she said, that was how it started.

"You can't just divorce me after all these years of us being together, you accepted me for who I am. Why now" Oliver inquired.

"Roger" Amelia called, "I can’t be with you anymore, you are nothing but a loser. My colleagues and friends are mocking me everyday that I have a lowlife as a husband".

"Things will change!, Please be with me" he hauled.

"Till when" she yelled back.

"Till tomorrow, just for this night to pass by".

Amelia chuckled, and she gradually turned it into laughter.

"Remember we promised to be with each other no matter the situation, we promised only death can do us apart" Oliver said, he was trying to convince her. For just this night only.

"Promises are meant to be broken, I thought things will change, but look. You are just a parasite, and you can never be rich in your life".

The words struck Oliver heart, If only Amelia could just Change her decision, just for this night, this night only.

"Amelia, okay…. Can you reconsider just for today, just for this night to pass by. Things will change" he pleaded earnestly.

"Shut up, that's how poor people like you do. They always dream high and think things change for them overnight. The poverty is in your trait" she hauled at him.

"Amelia, how can you say that?, Okay…I heard you, but just for this night, let's eat dinner, go to sleep together, pretend nothing happened. For this night only".

"You keep repeating this night, this night. What will happen, become rich overnight? Stop bragging and do me a favour by signing that".

Oliver looked at her in disbelief, Amelia was so determined about this.

"Do you even remember tomorrow would be" Oliver murmured.

"Our divorce anniversary! Yeah, that's what it would be, because there is nothing. Nothing you can do to change my mind". Amelia sneered.

"Amelia" Oliver muttered.

"I'm even tired of hearing my name in your trash mouth, sign that paper. Let things end in peace", she said and stormed away, heading to The room.

Oliver rushed after her, but Amelia got into the room and locked the door.

"Amelia! Amelia! Please open the door and let this sort out. Hear me out Amelia" he hauled banging the door repeatedly.

"Get away from here you this fucking loser!", Amelia hauled.

"Amelia, just listen to me and everything will be alright", Oliver hauled.

"Listen to yourself, don't you sound like a fool?I don't want to hear anything from your disgusting mouth", she yelled back.

Oliverkept banging the door, "please open, let talk it out".

Amelia screamed on top of her voice, "I said get lost!"

"Amelia... Amelia", he called numerous times banging the door. but Amelia stopped answering him.

After numerous bangs, Oliver got tired and sat on the ground, resting his head on the door.

He exhaled loudly, why this night. just only this night and she would have been the happiest woman on earth.

He sat quietly as the door slipped to 00:00; the next day.

His phone rang, but he didn't check it, so he got up and went to the table.

He picked the pen and looked at the divorce paper one more time before he finally signed.

He brought out his phone and checked the message.

It was an alert message.

He stood up, then stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Never to come back.
