Chapter 101

I scoffed, making Ernest look at me.

I rolled my eyes as I faced what I was doing. I sensed him walking away.

I watched as he headed out of the kitchen.

What is that dumb tramp doing here anyway?

To create problems as always?

I should go out there and see why she is here.

She can't be here.

Not when my kids are here.

She is horrible to kids.

I washed my hands and headed out of the kitchen.

I walked towards the living room and saw Darlyn with a woman dressed in a black suit and holding some files.

I furrowed my brows.

"What is the meaning of this, Darlyn?" Ernest asked as I stood a bit far from him, looking at them.

"Well, sweetie, I brought the divorce papers. Signed as you have always wanted." Darlyn said, raising the paper and walked towards Ernest. She dropped the paper on the table.

Darlyn's eyes moved to me.

I folded my hands, staring at her.

"Oh, hey, Kimberly." She said, making Ernest look at me.

"You are already feeling at home in my ex-husband's house." She said, making me raise my brows.

"Aren't we done here, Darlyn?" Ernest asked, making her look at him.

She scoffed, walking back to the woman.

"No, baby. We are not done yet. This is attorney Lukeson. She will tell you why we are here." Darlyn said, smiling.

"Mr White, as my client said, i am Ms Lukeson, her attorney, and I am here to tell you that my client will be seeing you in court for the issue of infidelity." The woman said.

I furrowed my brows.

Ernest scoffed. "Excuse me?"

"You heard her. Your infidelity with that slut behind you." Darlyn said.

"Watch your words, tiny wench." I warned.

She scoffed, flipping her hair proudly.

"My client has...."

"Whoa, whoa, wait. My infidelity? Seriously?" Ernest chipped in.

"Yes." Darlyn said.

"You cheated on me with my best friend, Darlyn. Have you forgotten that? And I have pictures, remember?" Ernest asked.

"I do remember, baby. But you cheated first. You cheated with her and I have evidence as well." Darlyn said, extending her hand to her attorney.

This is ridiculous.

Her attorney gave her a picture and she walked towards Ernest and handed it to him.

I didn't bother to look at it. I hate pictures these days.

Thanks to Ella.

Ernest scoffed. "This was way before I married you, Darlyn."

"That's a lie." She said.

"What do you mean that's a lie?"

"You cheated on me with her after you married me, Ernest." She said.

"Stop making shit up and get out of my house." Ernest ordered.

She chuckled, folding her hands.

"Tell him, Ms Lukeson." Darlyn said, without looking away from Ernest.

"My client is entitled to take half of your wealth for your infidelity, Mr White." The attorney said.

Wait, what?

"Straight up." Darlyn said.

Ernest chuckled, making Darlyn's face twitch.

I furrowed my brows as Ernest kept laughing.

Why is he laughing?

"I don't see anything amusing in what she just said, Ernest." Darlyn said.

"Is this the best you can do, Darlyn?" He asked.

Darlyn scowled at him.

"Are you this stupid?" He asked.

"You are the one who is stupid, Ernest. I am going to take half of all you have achieved and there is nothing you can do about it." She snarled.

He nodded. "Really?"

"Yes."

He hummed and walked towards the sofa. I furrowed my brows as I watched him take out a paper and walked back to Darlyn.

He extended the paper to her.

She stared at him.

"What is this?" She asked.

"Can't you read?" He asked.

She clenched her jaw angrily and collected the paper from him aggressively.

She read it and looked at him with furrowed brows.

"What the fuck is this?" She asked.

"I have nothing in my name, Darlyn." He said.

I furrowed my brows.

Darlyn walked back to her attorney and handed the paper to her.

"I am sorry, Darlyn. But you should have come earlier. I transferred everything I have to Kimberly and my kids' names today."

I froze.

"What?!" Darlyn and I said in unison.

Ernest nodded. "I am no longer a billionaire." He said, spreading his arms.

"I am a penniless man now, Darlyn." He added.

Darlyn clenched her jaw angrily.

I looked at Ernest.

"That's the new CEO of Ocean White advertising company." He said, pointing at me.

My heart picked up.

What the hell?

"I work for you now, Kimberly." He said, looking at me.

I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"If you would employ me." He said.

"Urgh!!!!!!!  Damn you, Ernest!" Darlyn yelled angrily, claiming our attention.

She ripped the paper into shreds.

Ernest scoffed. "That is just a copy. Leave my house, Darlyn. Oh, I mean, leave Kimberly's house. Because the house is hers as well." He said to her.

"Urgh!" She yelled, storming away.

"I am sorry for the inconvenience, sir." The attorney said, walking away with Darlyn.

The door closed.

"Fuckin bitch." Ernest said.

He turned to me.

I stared at him.

He furrowed his brows. "What?"

"Are you on drugs?" I asked.

He scoffed. "No. Why?"

"Did you......you said that just to stop her from taking what is yours, right?" I asked.

"No. It is real. This is what I was trying to show you. You and my kids are the rightful owners to all I have now. I have nothing in my name."

I scoffed in disbelief.

"Everything I am and owe are yours, Kimberly. My money, company, this house," he said, looking at the house.

I rubbed my arm nervously.

"And me." He said, making me look at him.

"I belong to you, Kimberly." He said.

My heart raced.

"Everything is yours now. You are the CEO of Ocean White."

"Stop saying nonsense, Ernest. I am not going to take everything you have. I don't even need it."

"I want to give you everything, baby. I told you I would go back to the simple man you fell in love with. The simpleton who loved and cherished you. Who treated you as a queen even though he was penniless." He said, adding to my racing heart.

"I just want you to forgive me. I am sorry for all I have done." He said, walking towards me. He held my hand.

I felt goosebumps.

"I love you, baby." He said, moving my hands to his lips.

I released my hands from his hold.

"Giving up all you have achieved will not make me forgive you, Ernest. It will not change or make up for those years of pain."

He nodded. "I know. But I am making efforts. I will not rest till you forgive me and be mine again."

I shook my head. "Go and undo what you did. I am not that type of woman. I will not take what is not mine. You can leave the kids' names there but take my name out of it." I said, turning away.

"Kimberly," He called but I kept walking away.

He has to be insane to think that I will accept what he did.

I am the CEO?

Seriously?

What do I know about running a company?

What has gotten into him?

A DAY LATER.......

Martha and I placed the cakes on the decorated table. My kids has two cakes each for the both of them.

One is made of pink icing sugar and has a picture of Barbie on it. The other is blue and has a picture of Messi on it.

This is the first time they are having two cakes for them. I usually get one for them because I can't afford to buy two.

Now, they are excited as ever.

Thanks to their billionaire father.

Funny thing is, he asked me for permission to use his money for this party.

Can you believe that?

He is really serious about what he said about me being the new CEO of his company and owner of his entire wealth.

I can't accept that.

Even if I want to be a CEO, it will be what I worked for. I can't take something that belongs to someone else.

It's his hardwork not mine.

I don't need it.

The living room is decorated with pink and blue balloons and ribbons. It is going to be a little party with family and friends.

I am wearing a green dress and my hair is styled in a beautiful way. As the mother of the celebrants, I have to look my best.

Today is going to be fun for my kids.

The door bell rang and I headed towards the door and opened it, revealing Nikki and Asher, her boyfriend. They are both dressed in gorgeous attires, holding presents in their hands.

"Kim!" Nikki squealed happily.

"Niks!" I squealed and we shared a hug.

"I missed you," i said.

"Me too. You are looking great, twins' mother," she teased, making me chuckle.

"Come on in." I said, moving aside for them.

"Hi, Kim." Her boyfriend greeted me.

"Hey, Asher," I said as they walked in and I closed the door behind me.

"Wow, Kim. This is more than a castle." Nikki said the minute I walked close to her.

I hummed.

"When are you two getting married?" She whispered.

"Nikki!"

"What? Answer the question." She said.

I rolled my eyes as I took her towards the kitchen.

"Coming, babe." She said to Asher as we enter the kitchen.

"Where is he and the kids though?" She asked.

"Getting ready." I said, walking towards the drinks on the island.

"Wow, girlfriend. This place is lit. You are living the life, I tell you."

"Yeah yeah. Guess what."

"What, what? Tell me."

"Ernest transferred all he has to my name and the kids' name." I said.

"NO WAY." She said, sounding surprised.

I nodded. "Yes, Nikki. He said I am the new CEO of his company. Can you believe that?"

"Why would he do that?" She asked.

"For my forgiveness."

"Wait, you haven't forgiven him?"

"Uh, no. Why should I?"

She scoffed. "You love him, don't you?"

I scoffed. "Feelings doesn't matter, Nikki. He was a total jerk to me. I cannot forget all the humiliations and maltreatment I suffered in his hands."

She heaved a sigh. "I understand. But he is sorry."

I placed my hand on my hip, staring at her.

She shrugged. "Yes. He is trying so hard. He saved you from that treacherous snake, Ella. Now he has transferred all he has to your name and the kids' names. He is really sorry."

I shook my head in disbelief. "You are unbelievable, Nikki. Have you forgotten you once wanted to kill him in his sleep." I said, walking towards the counter.

"Yeah, yeah, I remember. But people make mistakes. We just have to let it go and move on."

"Oh my God."

"What?"

"You are really unbelievable, Nikki."

She chuckled. "I am serious, girlfriend. Damn, this place is insane!"

"Hello family!" I heard Indy's loud  voice.

"Is that..."

"Indy. Yeah." I said.

"Ooh. I want to meet her." Nikki said, heading out.

I chuckled as what she said repeated in my head.

Sighing, I picked up the drinks and walked out of the kitchen.

I saw Indy and my brother, Bryan together.

Oh.

That is new.

They both have presents in their hands.

Nikki is talking to Indy.

"Kim!" Indy squealed happily the minute she saw me as Martha took the drinks from my hand.

"Indy, hey." I said, hugging her.

"Big sis," Bryan said.

"Bryan," i said, hugging him.

"You both look good. Together." I added, smiling.

Indy blushed, making me fold my hands.

"Is this a thing?" I asked, smiling.

"Yeah. It is." Bryan said, kissing Indy's knuckles.

"Aww," Nikki and I said in unison.

Indy chuckled. "Where are my niece and Nephew for pit's sake!"

"Aunt Indy!" Emma's loud voice took our attention towards the stairs.

They are all descending the stairs, dressed in their best attires. Isabel is holding their hands and descending the stairs while Elodie is behind them, dressed in a blue gown.

Emma is wearing a pink Barbie gown and a tiara, looking very beautiful like a princess. While Ryan is wearing a black tux, looking very handsome like his father.

I hit myself internally for that thought.

Speaking of his father, Ernest came into view, dressed in a black shirt with three buttons open, exposing his chest and black trousers.

He is looking......

God, Kim.
