Bribing the Billionaire’s Revenge. Tatienne Richard
Chapter 1 Divorce
Liesl looked at her phone for what felt like the hundredth time and
frowned at the time on the display. It was odd her mother had not
responded to her text messages at all for an entire day. It was
weirder still her husband of five years had not responded either.
They were both attentive and loving towards her and so she found
their silence odd. Moreover, her husband Merlin was late. If he was
late, he always called or messaged her. This felt off somehow, and
her stomach flipped nervously, yet again.
She got up from the sofa where she’d been trying to kill her
nerves with Netflix on her laptop when she heard the door open. She
walked to the edge of the study and looked to see Merlin walking in
with a somber expression.
“Hey babe, you’re late and didn’t answer my messages. Is
everything okay?”
“No,” he shook his head.“ Can you come to my office with me?”
He motioned for her to follow to what she often dubbed his inner
sanctum.
Considering the fact he’d made love to her for hours the night
before, his cold demeanor right now as he led the way, not even
pausing to kiss her hello had her thoroughly confused. He motioned
for her to take a seat in the chair opposite his desk and she made
wide eyes.
“Merl, you’re scaring me. What’s going on?”
“We’re getting divorced,” he said bluntly.
She laughed. There was no way he was serious considering in
the eight years they had been together, five of them married, he’d
never once raised his voice and they’d never had a real argument.
Their biggest fight ever had been the one time he forgot to put the
toilet seat down and she’d fallen into the toilet in the middle of the
night. Even then he’d apologized so profusely after she’d stopped
freaking out, they’d ended up having incredible make-up sex in the
shower where she’d gone to clean up. She stopped laughing and
stared at him. “I’m sorry, what?”
“Divorced. I just need your signature on these papers,” he slid a
stack across the desk.“ You are welcome to talk to a lawyer of
course. The prenup we signed will stand. You get the house, and you
can keep your car and you’ll get a monthly allowance for five years.”
“I don’t understand.“
He held another document in his hand, “this is a paternity test.“
“What does this have to do with me?” She was frowning as she
looked at the way his fingers trembled, just slightly.“ What is going
on?” She herself was starting to shake now.
“I had an indiscretion at your sister’s wedding in Turks and
Caicos six weeks ago.“
“You cheated on me?” she was going to vomit. “At my sister’s
wedding?”
“Yes.“
She got up from her seat and wrapped her arms around her
middle. “This isn’t happening.“
“I fucked up and had too much to drink and I didn’t wear a
condom. She is pregnant. I had a rush done on the paternity. It has
come back as mine.“
“You told me you didn’t want children for another three years!”
She turned to face him angrily.
“I did say this, and I stand by what I said. It’s unfortunately a
done deal. I made an error in judgement, but I can’t let another man
raise my child. We are getting divorced, and I will be marrying the
mother of my child.“
“How can you sit here so coldly and tell me this?”
“Do you think this is easy for me?”
“It sure as fuck doesn’t look like it’s all too hard considering how
frigid you’re being! I’m not one of your multi-million-dollar business
transactions Merl, where you simply remove the emotion from the
equation. I’m your wife! Your wife!” She had always thought the
way he could remove emotions during a negotiation was sexy and
powerful but right now, being on the receiving end of his harsh,
calculating mannerisms felt like agonizing cruelty.
“Not after you sign this.“
“If I sign those, you get the fuck out right now.“
He blinked at her words, “now?”
“Did you not say I get the house?”
“Surely you will want to go see Janka or Elsie while things get
sorted?”
“They can come here. I’m not the one who screwed around. You
can leave.“
“My office is here and must clear it out.“
“You can come on the weekend with a moving truck and take
the contents of this office as well as your clothes and toiletries but
the rest, all the furniture, dishes, every fucking knickknack, knife,
fork, spoon, stays in this house with me.“
“I understand you’re angry, Liesl. I am trying to be respectful. I
ask the same of you.“
“Respectful? You fucked someone else!” she screamed at the
top of her lungs, gasping for air as her mind swirled. „At my sister’s
wedding and got them pregnant. Eight years. Eight years you never
once touched me without a condom, and you forgot?” She gripped
her stomach as she struggled not to release the contents all over his
