2023-12-24 18:56:40"We have been waiting for this so long, boss. Your bank account will be unlocked, and you'll get all your permissions back..." A female voice said with excitement on the phone.
"I see that, thank you Pamela. " Jackson was in the kitchen cooking when he received Pamela's call. He was preparing a nice candlelight dinner for his wife, Ella.
Today, he will share this great news to his wife. He will make her the happiest woman in the world today.
"Welcome back, king of the world..."Pamela whispered on the phone.
...
Ella had been married to Jackson for a few years and he was excited to share the best times of his life with his wife, but recently, she was much more busier than before.
She always stayed out late and when she was back, she was always drank. Sometimes, there would be some nice jewelries on her desk, Obviously Jackson could not afford them.
But Jackson believed it was because Ella got promoted recently in her company.
Tomorrow was his 23rd birthday and it would unleash a new chapter in his life. Ella did not know that tonight, over the fancy dinner he'd slaved to prepare, he wanted to announce it to her.Jackson hang up the phone, focusing on preparing his candlelight dinner. He knew that recently his wife was very busy, but he still informed her to come back early.
"I'm waiting for you to return home, My Love. I love you." Jackson sent a message to Ella.
He checked his phone and hoped for a reply message from his wife, even though there was no reply. He took a deep breath.
"Maybe Ella is still busy right now, but I'm sure she'll be home soon." he said.
But Jackson waited until midnight, and finally Ella came home. She opened the door but looked so drank and walked unsteadily in to the house.
"Finally you're home, dear." Jackson walked to Ella with a smile.
"Get away! Don't bother me today, you wasted!" She yelled in his face and poked his chest as she spoke.
"What do you mean, Ella? Did something happen at work today?" He asked carefully.
"That's enough, Jackson. I'm tired of your useless concern, so just stop talking and leave me alone!" Ella yelled.
"But Ella, in fact I had something to tell you..."Jackson whispered.
"That's good, because I have something to tell you too!" Ella said ironically.
She believed that Jackson had nothing important, nothing more than how much effort he paid for this dinner.
"OK, then you go first." Jackson said.
"I want a divorce, Jackson." Ella said these ruthless words without any expression on her face.
"What did you just say?" Jackson asked his face a mask of shock and disbelief.
"I said I want a divorce, Jackson! And I want it now." The young woman said and pushed her way out of his hold, plopping down on the sofa.
Jackson could not believe his ears, he had set the dining table, ready to receive her and make a big announcement, little did he know that she had an announcement of her own.
"Listen, I know I said I could handle this, but I can't do it anymore. I'm tired of being mocked every day, my colleagues are all better than me, I have too many bills to settle, and I can not have the life I want all because of you, I have had enough! This can't continue, Jackson, just sign the papers and let us get this over with!"
Ella said scornfully and handed him the divorce papers and a pen from her bag.
"Ella, you should not do this, we can still work things out, you know I can try..."
"That's the problem, it's always about you, it's never about me!"
"You don't think how I feel in this situation, you don't care what sacrifices I make just to remain with you, here. I turn down eligible men and I am being mocked by my friends and family, all because of you!"
She snapped at him and Jackson could not believe his ears, Ella had never acted that way, she was a nag most times but apparently, she had been hiding her true self while planning their divorce behind his back. "I would rather be alone than with a man like you, you don't have a dream, you are unambitious, you can't take care of me, I'm sick of this poverty and your empty promises, I want out." She said.
"Ella, I know the years have been quite tough but it's gonna be all okay after tomorrow, I promise, it's going to be better tomorrow." He assured.
"Really? What's so special about tomorrow? Huh? Will some genie come and grant all your wishes?" She mocked him and burst out laughing.
"You don't get it, Ella, tomorrow is the big day and all of our problems will be fixed, we will have a better life, we will have the life that we have always wanted, you can't possibly walk away now, not when__"
"Shut up, Jackson." She snapped at him impatiently, "You are only bragging and I will not fall for it, I need a real man, and not some boy with wild dreams of wealth, to sign those papers." She insisted.
"You've met someone else haven't you?" Jackson asked and she glared at him.
"That is none of your business, I deserve more, I deserve a man that can take good care of me and support my dreams, I don't need a valueless scum like you, it's none of your freaking business who I am with now."
She said angrily, confirming Jackson's suspicions that indeed there was someone, little wonder she kept late at night and avoided him when she returned. She was leaving him for someone else and that was obvious.
Jackson shook his head at her recklessness, she had forgotten so soon what day it was. "Do you know what tomorrow is?"
He asked and Ella waved him away carelessly.
"Tomorrow will be our divorce anniversary, that's what tomorrow is," she snapped and rose from the couch, "Now sign those papers and get out of my life, you can save your cheap food, I don't need it."
She snapped angrily, her fingers pointed at him, and then she left the living room, looking down at the dinner that Jackson had set on the table, and staggered into her room, slamming the door behind her.
Jackson could not believe all that had happened, Ella was no longer interested in their marriage, she'd been having an affair and now she wanted to end it with him, he sat alone and lost in thought.
It was his birthday soon in a couple of minutes and he knew his old life was coming to an end and a new dawn would begin. It was a pity that Ella would not be a part of it, but he couldn't stop her, her mind was already made up.
A message showed on his screen. "100,000,000 dollars has been transfered to your account, your credit is 100,000,021.87 dollars..."
