THE BILLIONAIRE'S SCANDALOUS WIFE

Nicholas was in the office with his feet on the table while the little coolness in the air conditioner made him forget the tiredness that resulted from a lot of work that day.

The sound of the door being knocked on clearly meant that there was someone who wanted to get permission to get inside. He hadn't heard it

Suddenly the electricity went out and that's when he found out that there was a knock on the door.

He returned to the chair and sat without a care about the person who was knocking on the door, once the voice was heard again.

"knock...!! Knock..!!!"

"Yes, come in..?" said Nicholas.

It was his employee Edina who was like an assistant at the office.

"Edina, what is it..?"

"Am..someone is here to see you.."

"Who is it..?" Nicholas asked while straightening the collar of his shirt.

"It's a woman, he's out there"

" A woman, who is that woman who comes without an appointment, anyway, let him in" he said then stood up and straightened his body.

A large office selling valuable items was owned by Nicholas and his wife Celine who was always at home looking after the family, it was rare to find Celine at the office.

Nicholas was famous in the whole city, everyone one of Nicholas. He started with the sale of sake and vegetables in the area, then he stopped and dived into the craft of furniture and now he is the owner of a large company of valuable home equipment and decor. It was an honour for a young man to have made such an accomplishment at such a young age.

When Edina arrived at the reception, she found the man waiting.

"What did he say" The woman asked with a smile

" You can go, he's in his office."

"Okay, thank you"

She was a woman whose face was new to Edina, she thought she had seen her somewhere but she couldn't recall where she had seen her, she just ended up looking at the woman going up the stairs.

The woman was none other than Beatrice, the only woman who ever loved Nicholas beyond description and that day she had decided to go see Nicholas and find out her fate.

When she arrived inside his office, she went inside and took a seat while looking at Nicholas and the conversation began.

"Beatrice, when will stop bothering me?" asked Nicholas.

"Nicholas, I didn't come here to say hello this morning, please let me know the situation first," Beatrice said in a gentle voice.

"What is the problem? Explain yourself "

"Ok fine..!! I think you know what my problem is Nicholas and I have told you many times before. I love you, I don't know why I love you so much when you and I only made love once" Beatrice said as she got up from the chair and started walking towards Nicholas.

"Hey stop..!! Stay where you are and let me tell you something thing, forget about the past and live your life. Forget that you and I ever dated before, it's been years now" Nicholas said putting on a disgusted face.

"Nicho ...Nicholas, your love still lives in my heart. My heart has become a guardian of your love... I know you know that, why are you hurting me like this?" Beatrice spoke as tears began to flow from her eyes.

"I don't want to see you shedding tears. Had I known it was you, I wouldn't have told Edina to let you come in here. Listen, your time has passed, I'm married and I have a beautiful woman. you know Celine, she's the right woman for me." Nicholas spoke without looking at Beatrice who was shedding tears.

"I hurt for you, I am suffering over a man who doesn't share my feelings, Nicholas. If you married, what does it mean when your love still lives in my heart" said Beatrice whose dress she was wet with tears.

"If you knew you didn't plan to marry me, why did you sleep with me.. why did you show me, such sincere love, so this is my payment... I gave you my most cherished possession ..Nicholas think about me, please I beg you" Beatrice continued cry talking and this time she completely knelt down before Nicholas.

***********

While this was going on outside the office, someone came inside. That man looked very smart in his black expensive suit that fit him well. He arrived at the reception and found Edina busy on the computer.

"Hey.!! Is the CEO i? I am here to see him" asked the man without a greeting.

" Manners. Learn politeness in other people's offices! Be a gentleman and say hello" Edina said.

"Ok no problem hold on.." he answered with a stern look on his face.

The man seemed to be holding an envelope in his hand. When Edina told him his boss was in the office, he looked at Edina carefully and then said.

"Ok..! I need to talk to him"

"He's with a.." Edina was saying but before she could finish Nicholas was there with Beatrice who was wet with tears.

"Edina, if you see this woman here, tell her to leave please.. call security and tell them that I don't want this whore here" Nicholas said angrily Edina was surprised.

Despite all the harsh words that Beatrice received from Nicholas, she remained silent instead and looked at the man who was at Edina's desk.

"Mr.Nicholas, my name is Mr Joshua, I work at TCRA and this is a parcel for you. Please take care and let I'll take my leave" The man introduced himself as Mr Joshua, put an envelope on the table for Edina and then he left.

"TCRA..!! Cargo..? Mr Joshua..?" Nicholas asked himself questions but did not find the right answer.

"Nicholas, I am leaving, but one day you will remember me. My tears will not flow in vain" said Beatrice who started leaving while looking at Nicholas holding an envelope in his hand.

" Please Go. You are a whore, Tha day will never happen" he said and then he went with the envelope to his office.

When he arrived he distractedly opened the envelope but what he found inside, he couldn't believe his eyes. His heart beat faster, his head started hurting.

However, inside the envelope, there were pictures of his wife with a man in a room. There were also some which, when he looked at them, he saw clothes he had bought her three days ago.

"This is not..not my wife..she is the one who is betraying me like this.." he said with his mouth trembling, he quickly picked up his phone and called his wife but she was not available. He then received a call from an unknown number

" Hope you got your gift. Welcome to the scandal" the man's voice said and then hung up.
