The next morning, as the sunlight streamed through the windows, Desmond's phone buzzed with an urgent message from his company. After reading the message, he got up from the bed and entered his bathroom to brush his teeth and take his bath. He didn't waste any time in the bathroom. He dried his body and wore his red tailored business suit.
He was wearing his watch when Daniella woke up from her sleep. She sat up and stretched her body. "Where are you going this early morning?" She asked when she saw he was wearing a suit.
"I received an urgent message from my company. I need to go and handle something important," Desmond answered.
"I hope everything is fine." She asked.
"Yeah, everything is under control." He replied.
"Under control? That means something is wrong. What is that?" Daniella asked.
"It's not something serious. We will talk about it when I come back." He leaned towards her and kissed her on the forehead.
Daniella feigned concern, hiding the excitement bubbling inside her. "Alright, Desmond. You can go. Go take care of it. I'll be here when you get back."
Desmond smiled. "Thank you, honey. I'll try to be back as soon as possible."
As Desmond left the house, Daniella's demeanor shifted. Her excitement couldn't be contained any longer. She immediately picked up her phone and called Leonard. As she speaks, her voice is brimming with triumph.
"Hi, baby," she greeted.
"Hi babe. I was expecting your call yesterday. I hope all is well."
"Yeah, I don't have any problem. It all went as planned. We are now legally married. It's done." Daniella answered.
"Wow, that's good. So what's next?" Leonard asked.
"Desmond had left for work. So I'm going to visit my friend, who is a lawyer, to get a divorce paper." Daniella replied, and Leonard smiled. "That's fantastic, baby! We are finally going to be together, just as we planned. I'm wondering how he would feel when you give him the divorce papers."
"I don't really care. It's all a game, and it's not my fault that he lost and I won. It should teach him a lesson." Daniella said.
"We are getting rich," Leonard exclaimed.
"Yeah, we are now potential CEOs and big property owners. This house may turn out to be ours."
"That will be sweet. I can't wait."
"Yeah, so, I will be going now. I will call you back when I'm done with him."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too," she replied.
After ending the call, she took her bath and called her lawyer friend that she was coming to her office for a divorce paper, and she told Daniella what to come with.
After the call, she put her marriage certificate and all of Desmond's asset documents, including his landed properties and companies, into a file. According to her lawyer friend, it would make things easy for her.
She chooses a smart outfit and puts it on. After getting prepared, she took her handbag, glanced at her image in front of the big mirror once again, and walked out with reckless abandon.
She got into her Rolls Royce and drove out. In less than ten minutes, she was in front of her friend's office building. She parked her car in the parking lot and stepped out with a different steeze.
As she walked briskly into her friend's law office, the clicking sounds of her heels drew some attention. She was walking like the new chairman of the organization. At first, she was greeted by the receptionist, who guided her to her lawyer friend's office, Samantha.
When Daniella entered, Samantha stood up and greeted her with a warm smile. "Daniella, you are here already. It's so good to see you."
Daniella returned the smile. "Thank you, Samantha. It's good to see you too."
"Let's sit down and go through everything." Samantha said, gesturing to the seat.
They both took their seats, and Samantha began to review the documents. "So, you want to file for divorce immediately?"
"Yes." Daniella replied. "I need to do this as soon as possible. Desmond left for work this morning, and I want to have everything in place before he gets back. I want to welcome him back with the divorce paper."
