Hunted 14 " Burn those who burned me ! " Chapter 14 " How the hell should I know ! " " Well , this isn't good , if you get a divorce your grandmother is going to give the company to your cousin Tyler . " I gritted my teeth hard . Tyler was my cousin , both he and I were the same age . However , because my father was the CEO before he passed , my grandmother decided to pass it on to me under the condition I marry Rabena . Dammit ! That woman is about to ruin everything ! On Monday , I headed into the office . I needed to find Rabena quick and get her under control but first I needed to contest these divorce papers . Pulling out my work phone , I called my assistant . " Andrew , I need you to trace back the last steps of my wife from Monday April 5th . Her last known whereabouts was Memorial Hope Hospital . Also track the whereabouts of her brother Damon . " Andrew sat in silence for a moment before responding . " Um , did something happened sir ? Why is Ms. Rabena miss- " " Stop asking me questions and do as I say ! " I barked with irritation at my assistant , I didn't have time for a game of questions . As I turned on my computer , my cell began to ring , from an unknown number . " This is Lockwood . " " Mr. Lockwood , very nice to speak with you . I'm Pera Tremell , Ms. Rabena's lawyer . " I could feel my chest start cave ; she already has a lawyer ! Irritated , I tried to maintain my cool . " What can I do for you Ms. Tremell . " Pera took a quick pause before speaking . "I trust you received your papers , correct ? Regarding the divorce , my client would like to know when you will be signing and submitting . " I felt like I was eating crushed glass . Her client . When the hell did Rabena obtain counsel and with what money ! I had gone out my way to keep her on a short financial leash and the Crests didn't provide her with any money . What was going on ? " I did receive the papers , though I'm afraid there's been some sort of misunderstanding . You see , I have no intentions of divorcing my wife . " I could hear a faint sound of laughter from this Pera person before she responded . " Mr. Lockwood , I think it would be in your best interest if you just signed the papers . " 1/2 17 % 8 Chapter 14 " Who the hell do you think you are ! Do you know who you're dealing with ! I won't sign shit ! So , if she's doing this because she thinks she can get money- " " Actually , my client is willing to walk away without anything . No money , no property , nothing . Just a divorce . " I couldn't believe what I was hearing . Nothing ? She wanted nothing . Did Rabena want to divorce me that bad ? " Mr. Lockwood , are you still with me ? " " Y - Yes . I'm still here . The answer is still no . " " I would really reconsider if I were you . " My patience was running thin . " I don't give a shit what you think ! Tell my wife ' I will not be divorcing her . " Silence . " I really did not want to do this as I'd hope we could resolve this amicably . " Suddenly , there was a beep on my phone . A text message came through . When I opened it , my eyes nearly jumped out their sockets . It was picture of me and Danielle kissing each other . Suddenly , all the color drained from my face . " Where did you get this ? " I spoke in a low and defeated tone . " That's not important Mr. Lockwood . My client , informed me that your grandmother , the chairwoman of Lockwood Corp would be most unpleased if she saw this photo . Now she's willing to take full responsibility for the divorce as to not affect your chances of becoming CEO . Please , sign the papers . " With that she hung up the phone , as I sat in my office looking like a complete fool . Chapter Comments 66
