After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO

Chapter 98 I don't want to owe them anything

Rachel's POV

...

Few hours ago

...

" What... What is this?" David roared flinging the paper in his hands.

I let out a smile. " Husband dearest, that's our marriage contract". I said blinking my eyes innocently at him.

" Wait, you didn't think I would just come back to you, or did you? ". I asked while laughing at him mockingly.

The shock and annoyance on his face was just too hilarious.

David scoffed, rereading the contract again. " We would get married, but it would only be on paper? " He read out loud and asked.

I nodded. " That wouldn't be hard for you, as we were married for over three years and you never touched me once ". I remarked sarcastically.

David immediately shook his head." That time was different, I'm a change person now Rachel, really ". He pleaded and I couldn't help but laugh.

That time was indeed different, he had Lana to keep him company and warm his bed for him, unlike now... I included a clause in the contract that if he was found cheating on me in any way, he would have to pay a few of a hundred million for breaching the contract, and also we were to be divorced.

" Keep on reading, don't stop on my account". I said when I noticed that David was just staring at my laughing face.

Could he really have have changed? I asked myself before mentally shaking my head.

Nah... It was impossible for a man like David to just change overnight. I did the right thing.

" A hundred million? Sleeping on separate beds? No real wedding? " David asked his voice getting louder as he read each clause. " Oh, and this... We divorce after six months? What is this Rachel?!" He yelled throwing the paper to the ground.

" What is what? " I asked innocently glancing at the paper on the ground. " You better pick that up, because that's your own copy".

David shook his head firmly, crossing his hands. " I will not agree to this contract, what do you mean by we would get a divorce after six months? " He asked and I shrugged.

" It means what it is. Our ' marriage '... " I air coated the marriage to make him understand how fake it was. " Is only going to be for six months, and six months only. After then we'll go our separate ways and that's it". I explained.

" But it states there... " David pointed to the piece of document on the floor. " It states there that even after we're divorce I can't take back the alliance between both companies. I only agreed to not cut off the alliance because I wanted you, Rachel ". He growled and I raised I raise a brow at him.

" Well now you have me, and for six months after your marriage also". I said nonchalantly blowing on my fingers.

They were in dire need of a manicure, in fact I was in need of a full body massage, my muscles had been so stiff lately probably because of all the stress.

" A marriage where I don't even get to touch you, but yet it would only last for six months? I would lose in all parts wouldn't I? " He asked with skepticism before shaking his head. " I refuse to this agreement. I want you forever". He said and I scoffed standing up from the trunk of the tree picking up my bag before dusting my back with my hands.

"Where... Where are you going?" David asked, his tone anxious.

"I can see that you're not ready to talk, so I'm leaving". I replied about to walk past him.

"If you leave I would really cut the alliance". He threatened just as I was about to walk past him and a side if my lips hooked up in a sly smirk.

I turned back to face him before shrugging. " Cut it. Do whatever you want, it's not my company". I said seriously. David was taken aback and his expression turned to one of confusion.

"But... But they are your family"

Family?

Apart from Marina I had no one that would fit that word.

I sighed softly. " I'm very sure you know by now that Lana is the real child of my... Of the Andrews, so they are bit my family. According to them, I'm an orphan who Martha picked up from the streets".

"You see that's the only reason I'm talking to you right now after what you and Marina did to me, Martha picked me up from the streets even when perhaps my parents didn't want me and gave me a home. Everyone in the family treated me terribly, they didn't even try to hide their disgust and hate for him but I had no idea why". I paused to catch my breath.

Why was I even telling him this? I asked myself, but I felt like I just needed to tell him the reason why I was here before he thinks that I had forgiven him, something that can never happen in yhai lifetime.

"Everyone apart from Martha hated me in this house, but when her real daughter came back home, she became no different than the others. " I sniffled blinking severally to stop the tears that had began to form in my eyes from falling down.

" But she had once shown me love, and that was why even after everything else that has happened, I'm here to give back all I took from the family. I don't want to owe them anything David, and that's why I'm here "

I looked towards David who was looking at me with rapt attention.

" I could choose not to do this, since I'm gaining absolutely nothing from going back to be with an asshole like you but instead, I drafted that contract that would ensure my heart, and mind and body never get hurt by you again". I said with spite remembering how he threw mw against the wall months ago when I first caught him with Lana and I was about to launch myself at her.

That was the first time he laid his hands on me but I could see it from his eyes, it was not the the first time he had hit a woman.

I had seen Lana's bruises once or twice few minutes before we began a scene. She would always shout at her makeup artist to cover then up really well, but I knew... He hit her too.

Maybe that was why she went for Ethan because he was a gentleman.

No... No... No. I shook my head refusing to allow myself think of Ethan now, ever.

"David what I'm trying to say is that you could throw the paper and reject my offer and I'll walk away, but I'm not the one loosing anything. This people aren't my family and I've tried all I could for then so my conscience wouldn't taunt me. But it's you who insists that you want me and that you're a changed person... "

" I am a changed person " David interrupted me with a low voice.

Was he telling himself that or me?

" Look here dude. " I snapped my fingers in front of his face to get his attention. " If I walk away, you would never see me again, meaning you lose me forever and this family loses your money, it's a lose lose for both parties involved while me... " I pointed at myself.

" I have absolutely nothing to gain from this agreement apart from a clear conscience... that's if your really sincere about changing "

I added when I remembered the one hundred million dollars clause he would have to pay if I caught him cheating.

But a man can keep what's in his pants there for just six months right? I thought about this severally, even going as far as goggling it before setting the time frame.

Ah Rachel... You're spacing out again. I shook my head, but David didn't seem to mind because he was also thinking what I said over in his head.

" So David, what is it going to be?" I asked after a few minutes tucking in some strands of my hair that had been blown astray by the wind behind my ear.
