The Billionaire’s Ex Wife

That evening, they were in the pool area comparing designs sent by their assistants as well as checking out the immune samples of the other companies that would be present in the show, when there was a knock Daisy’s maid came to tell her that they were cops at the door who insisted on speaking to her.

Daisy was shocked because she didn’t book any appointment with the cops and hasn’t seen any since she closed the case against the intruder the last time. So why were they here? She wondered.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Send them in,” She told her maid and climbed out of the pool to tie her Duffy towel around her and waited in the pool chair.

It want long, two men walked into with another last by their side, and Daisy stood and met them halfway with a broad smile. “You are welcome to my home, gentlemen and a lady,” She addressed them, “how may I help you?”

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Richards, we will like to feed you in on the investigation that was carried out about the invasion of your home last month as we found it had something to do with one Mr. Richards…”

“Wait, what?!” She shouted. “Mr. Richards? You mean, Ethan Richards?”

“Exactly, ma’am..” The first man with a dark shade and his hands positioned on his guns on its holster acquiesced. “After a thorough investigation we found out that he was your ex husband and when we apprehended the dude that carried out the invasion, he said it wasn’t anything serious. According to him, he said it as supposed to be a set up and nothing dangerous…”

Daisy’s ear was busting. Ethan planned such a stunt on her? He was there that night and so how did he do it?

Amanda appeared beside her, seeing how pale she had gone from afar. She touched Daisy’s elbow to bring him back and at that, Daisy suddenly notes out laughing which distressed Amanda. “What’s going on?” She asked them.

Dais touches her shoulder, her face still bearing her mirth of derision. “Can you believe it was Ethan that set me up the night? He hired that bastard that invaded my house!”

“What?!” Amanda reeled, finding it hard to believe. “Are you sure, officers? There must be a mistake somewhere. Ethan can’t stoop so low…”

“Stop defending him, Mandy! You have no idea what extent people can go for a selfish motive. But come to think of it…” She faltered, her right hand going to come through her head in dismay. “How come the idiot was going through my laptop? Is Ethan working with the enemies to steal my designs too?”

“Everything was planned ma’am. I think he wanted you to think so, so he told the guy to pretend to go through your design file…” The Auburn lady among them inferred.

Daisy touches her mouth, releasing a mild chuckle. She still can’t believe that Ethan would do this. “Then you have to arrest him!”

“Ma’am, we would have but we have no evidence to prove this…” The man that spoke first confirmed.

Daisy was puzzled. “But the boy can testify…” She played with her hands.

Amanda interrupted. “Officers, we appreciate your effort towards the case but can you allow us to talk about this and get back to you at the office? Please…”

Daisy glared at him. She knew Amanda would find a way to justify the most season for Ethans actions and she wasn’t willing to let him out on this one. Here she was thinking of how to give him a second chance and now this?

“Mandy, I think…”

Amanda grabbed her hand and drew her to the side. “Dee, I can comprehend the level of your anger towards Ethan for this stunt he pulled but try to be in his shoes…” Daisy’s eyes widened. It was just was she envisaged. Amanda lifted her hands in defense. “I’m not trying to say what he did was right but at least hear him out. For the sake of Danny.”

“I don’t want my son with such a conniving bastard! He keeps showing me his true colors for as long as I can remember!”

“He just wants to be with you…” Mandy persisted. “What he did was wrong and you should give him an earful for it but still… I don’t think… Shit! Here he is…” Daisy whirled around toward the entrance where Ethan walked in with her version and dog who at seeing her baked and ran to her. She missed them so much but right now all that occupied her mind was dealing with the rotten man before her.

At full speed without thinking she stormed towards him to the dismay of Ethan and before he could grasp the situation, delivered an ear-ringing slap across his cheek. He held his cheek for a long time, his face to the side, unable to understand what was going on. He thought they were good the last night he left so what now? He mulled in his head.

“You are nothing but a traitor!” Daisy screamed.

“Mom!” Her son screamed and rushed to his dad.

She hurried and grabbed him, yanking him away from Ethan. “Stay away from him, he would bring you no good!”

“Ms. Richards, maybe you should calm down!” The female officer came to hold her back. All this while Ethan has said nothing but simply glanced at her.

“No!” Daisy was yielding to them. “He is the one you should take away from here and lock up in a cell. What were you planning, huh?” She tried to jump on him. “You think you will conspire with some lowlife to scare me so I will run into your arms? You are such a fool and I thought you have changed and wanted to give you another chance, but you know what? Fuck you, Ethan! Leave me and my son alone!”

“Mom!” Her son cried again.

“Shut up, Daniel!” The boy flinched.

“Daisy, stop!” Amanda came to take the bots hand. “You’re scaring him.”

“He should be scared, Mandy. I am trying to protect him from a man that never wanted him but he is too little to understand so if scaring him would put some sense into his head, then so be it! Inside now!” She pointed inside the house and without a word, her son ran inside, the dog on his heels. It appears their momma was pissed.

Ethan took a step forward. “Daisy…”

“Don’t fucken come close to me or I swear I will…”

“Maybe you should stop being a vixen for once and listen!” He thundered and at once, Daisy paused, her hand balling by her side. She was seething in rage for something he did and he thinks he has the right to be angry? This Infuriated her more. She opened her mouth to say something but he beat her to it. “I am tired of doing this with you, okay?” He took another step closer. “I understand that I was a fool, a big, big fool for what I did in the past and there is nothing that can change it.”

“You are a fool, I know…” Daisy mouthed, tears poking her eyes. Amanda was by the side, the situation beyond her.

“But I’m done.” He eventually said. “I’m done begging if it would make me do shits I wouldn’t have thought of ever doing, or make you more mad at me. I love my son and I will always love him and maybe… I might never stop loving you… But I will no longer chase you…” He clenched his jaw and the veins in his face moved. “All I want is my son. Just to spend time with him, nothing else. I admit I make a mistake by conniving with that boy to carry out such a stupid act but it was so I can get your attention…”

“Awww,” The female police officer mouthed and sniffed. Daisy glared at her and she quickly regretted herself.

“It appears what I did has made you stronger and it’s okay… I have learned my lesson and maybe I deserve you contempt. If you want to arrest me, you can send the officers to my house to do it properly but please do not take out the anger on our son. He is just a kid.” His eyes were misty, his jaw working as he looked around until his eyes landed on Amanda and Becky that were cuddled together now.

“I’m so sorry, Ethan,” Amanda mouthed and he nodded.

“Thanks, Mandy. I don’t deserve your kindness. It’s for the best. I might be leaving for New York the next week to round up a project, so officers if you want to arrest me, don’t worry I will not stop you, just try to do it before this weekend so I will know if to reschedule my plans for next week.” He stepped back and then decided to add. “And Daisy, I am not running again. I will set up an account for the care of my son, he is my blood and even though you hate me, you can’t take that away. The account officer would send you the details… Bye…” With that he spun and marched out.

Officers were still standing, their eyes misted in emotion.

“Well,” The female said croakily, “no man had ever come close to saying that to me…” She wiped her eyes and left the others behind.
