Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

Her voice trembled as she spoke. She handed the phone back to me, "It's no doubt," she shook her head solemnly, "Mark is not worthy of you." She took a deep breath and finished, "I agree with your divorce. If it makes you happy then you have my full support."

I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding and it felt like something weighty was finally lifted off my chest after so long.

"Thank you, Grandma," I beamed and chuckled shakily when I felt tears slide down my cheeks. I wiped them off but they kept pouring. Finally, I let them fall and pulled Doris into a tight hug. "You are the best grandma in the world and I'd forever be grateful to you.

"Don't cry, child. You tried your best." Doris soft but firm palm gently patted me on my back, "You are my best grand daughter-in-law, you'd always be."

I smiled a watery smile, "Even after our divorce, I promise to still keep in touch with you."

"Of course, you have to!"

I laughed, sniffing. I felt at peace. I felt happy.

"It's Mark who doesn't know what to cherish and how to and I pity him. He has lost a gem and he'd miss you, Infact he already does. One day, he will regret ever treating you wrong and letting you slip through his fingers."

I chuckled and pulled back from the hug, "To be very honest, grandma," I paused and squinted my eyes, "I don't care if he regrets it or not."

There was silence as the both of us just stared at each other then abruptly, we both burst out laughing.

We both took our time letting out our emotions and going through it and laughing to our fill before we walked back to the house.

As we got closer, we could see Mark on the balcony of the sunroom upstairs. He was looking down at the both of us, his brows creased.

I couldn't stop the huge grin that my lips stretched into, neither did I want to stop my arms from going up and waving cheerfully at him.

"Good morning, Mark," I said loudly and waved with such vigorousness, I didn't feel the usual pain or resentment as I looked at him and waved, only relief and freedom. Finally.

Mark watched me, his deep set eyes solely on me. He didn't smile back or wave back. He just stood there and watched the both of us get closer to the mansion with a resigned look on his face. I guess he could already tell what the outcome of our talk was.

When we reached the living room, Mark wasn't there. It was just a fuming Rose who kept on pacing the living room.

"Where's Mark?!" Doris bit out harshly and Rose flinched before she registered our presence. Rose -opened her mouth to speak when Mark's measured voice reverberated through the room. "I'm here, grandma."

We all looked up and found him leaning on the railings guiding the stairs.

Doris pinned him with a hard glare, her lips turned down dissaprovingly, "Come here." It was funny how she ordered him as though he was still some unruly teenager. Then she turned away from him and took a seat on the one-seater cushion chair, "I have an announcement to make "

Mark looked away from his grandmother and pinned his gaze on me as he took his time to descend the stairs. I didn't back down either, I held his gaze too.

When everyone was seated, Doris addressed us all. He turned to Mark first, a simmering anger in her eyes, "Mark, Sydney has decided to divorce you and I agree with her decision. You should go with her and handle the divorce procedures tomorrow."

Mark just calmly sat there, his face expressionless.

When he didn't say anything, Doris looked away from him and continued.

"I have also decided to transfer five percent of the shares in Mark's name to Sydney,

"What?" I burst out, unable to control myself. I turned to Doris, we didn't discuss this. It wasn't even something I had ever hoped for.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Doris turned to me with a smile etched on her lips, her eyes filled with adoration, "Yes dear, consider it a compensation for the grievances you have suffered in our family for the past three years."
