Come Back, Dear Ex-wife.

Delaney looked at Norberto with shock written all over her face. She just could not believe he was referring to her with such words. “Are you freaking kidding right now? You are calling me a leech. Norberto, you were almost kissing her just now and as your fiancée I have all rights to know what’s going on.”

“Oh please just stop all these already Delaney. Stop. I don’t have time for all your silly talks right now.”

“Are you such a gold digger too Norberto? I can’t believe you are running after her now just because she’s now rich. It still won’t help your company which is going bankrupt.”

Norberto was furious. He glared at her, gritting his teeth, “Can you just hear yourself. I can’t believe I loved a nuisance like you.”

“I said what I said. I am your woman, so stay the hell away from that slut.”

“Erica is my wife and I won’t have you talk about her like that.” Norberto shoved her aside, leaving her behind in the restroom.

Torrents of tears flowed down Delaney’s face the moment Norberto left. She slid down the wall with her back against it. She stared at the big mirror just in front of her and realized her makeup was smudged. Her mascara ran down her face forming a black line on both sides.

She approached the sink to wash her face. She patted her face dry and wiped her hands with a napkin after which she walked out.

……………

“Dad I saw them in the restroom. Norberto is now swooning over her. I think I’ve lost him dad.”

“That should be the least of your concern now Delaney. After all, she is still his wife…”

“But we are engaged dad.” Delaney cried out, swinging her arms in the air furiously.

“She took everything from me and now the only man I have, she’s taking him away too.”

“I feel like I’ve lost it all dad.”

“You should sort this out between yourself and Norberto. After all you got engaged to him because he was the youngest richest billionaire but now, his company is almost winding up due to bankruptcy, so I see no reason why you should be beating yourself up if he wants to leave.”

“But dad… I am loving him already.”

“Enough Delaney. I’ve had a long day. I need some rest.”

George walked out on her with Delaney running to catch up with him. She looked at him with her eyes swollen from crying as he entered his car and drove off.

Suddenly an evil smile formed on her lips as though she had thought of something. She got into her car and drove home.

……………..

Norberto bumped into Carlo on his way out of the restroom. “Where have you been, Carlo?”

“Sorry sir, I went to grab a quick lunch.”

“Did you see Erica?”

“She left already sir. I saw her walking away with her boyfriend. They were both looking so gorgeous.”

“Will you keep shut. That’s my wife we are talking about here.”

“How sir, make me understand. Erica, your wife, I mean you are married, when? How? Where?”

“That asshole of a man cannot be her boyfriend. We didn’t even get divorced.” Norberto said to a confused Carlo, who was silently wishing his boss wasn’t going crazy.

“You are getting me scared, sir, if I must say.” Carlo said with a puzzled look. He pondered for a while about his boss’s weird behavior.

“I need you to do something for me Carlo.”

“Okay boss, what’s that?”

“Hire a private investigator and find out whatever you can about Erica and her company. I need the information in three days from now.”
