The Supreme And Amazing King Of War

Chapter 1

“Michael, I think it's time we tell ourselves the truth already. You know without a doubt that our marriage can no longer work anymore.”

Michael was stunned to the bone when he heard Sophia's words. He had no idea what she was saying, what does she mean about what he knew?

Before he could process the words, Sophia pushed a document gently with her fingers to Michael's side of the table. 

“We are two worlds apart now. I am the President of Newfounding Powers and you are supposed to be a high class military personnel but you failed in the military academy, and now you are just a freeloader my grace. You sleep, you wake up and you go back to sleep again. 

It's a man's responsibility to take care of his wife and I have been doing that for you for five years now. 

A real man would've already called off this marriage, but I can see your selfishness has been driven into your core that you feel it's normal to be living off a woman!

How shameless!”

Michael was dumbfounded on his spot. 

Five years ago Sophia Sawyer was a nobody, he attended the military academy just so he could help her become the person she was today, he did, and now he was being called the nobody.

Because of several protocols in the military he couldn't tell Sophia his rank and she immediately thought he failed the academy.

He had been helping her from the shadows all this while only for her to deem it all to herself.

“Is that what you think about me? That I am a freeloader of your grace, and all I do is wake up and sleep?”

Michael said with a seriously annoyed face. Sophia kept her face straight as she responded.

“I know you cook for me and you take care of me when I am sick, but those are jobs meant for other people in my life.

I am the President of a multi-dollars company that is about to be worth billions, people expect my husband to be a mountain tall man, and you are far away from being as tall as grass let alone a tree.

Even if I give you all the time in the world, there is no way an Oregon grass can be as tall as a tree, let alone grow as solid as a mountain.

I have tried enough by waiting this long, you are not cut out to be my husband anymore.”

Immediately Sophia finished. She opened the document and placed a pen in the middle of the opened document.

“I am not leaving you alone empty. I will compensate you with five million dollars, you can read it for yourself if you think I am lying.”

Sophia said as she dropped the pen at the middle of the document.

Michael could finally see that it was a divorce file and he looked at Sophia.

“So our marriage comes down to your business life, to what people think your husband should be like?

Is money and fame more important to you than who you love?”

Sophia's expression cracked a little bit and she responded to Michael without blinking.

“Iron sharpens iron, rocks sharpen rocks, and hands sharpen hands.

It's only if we are equal that we can both help each other and live for each other, but we have long been equal. I have done the best I can do already, you should accept this offer while it's still on the table.

I have connections to make this easy for me but I am doing it this way because of our long memories, don't make it hard for yourself, Michael. Just accept reality and move on.”

Sophia's face was deadpan, there was no single trail of emotions in it. Michael was silent for a while. It was as if he was listening to a stranger. 

He only asked those questions because of the highschool memories he had with Sophia, all the promises they made to each other, but it seemed people do really change when power or money come into their possession.

Since he came back from the military a few weeks ago, he realized Sophia had changed drastically from when he left five years ago.

This was practically her true color all those while.

Michael picked the pen in the middle of the document and Sophia smiled.

“If the money is not enough, you can add to it, but nothing more than ten million dollars.

I know this is a tough one for you, you had just come back from the military academy a few weeks ago, but it's a decision I have to make immediately, otherwise I might not reach the threshold I have set for myself this month.

Meanwhile, there is a rumor of a war fast approaching on our tail. I need to secure my business with some of the high elites so nothing can happen to what I have struggled to build in case a war really happened.”

Michael watched Sophia blabbing about her company as she divorced the man she promised to love with her last breath. 

The man she promised never to break his heart. 

Michael signed the papers at that moment. The Sophia he knew was all gone. He was crazy to think she would still be the same girl from his high school days.

Immediately Michael signed the document he voiced out.

“I don't need your money, and there is no turning back on this. Let this be our end.”

Michael stood up and approached the exit at that moment. Sophia wondered why Michael said no turning back, why would she ever think of turning back to Michael.

She gave Michael the chance to level up to her standards and he failed, she doesn't feel any form of judgement in her heart.

Her mind was clear.

Michael was about to open the door to leave when Sophia voiced out. This time she looked Michael in the eyes.
