My billionaire ex-husband wants me back

Scarlet POV

“Won't you take over your father's company yet, Scarlet? Trump asked, staring intently at his granddaughter. It was obvious that she had gotten so lean and had traces of wrinkles on her face.

“You should go to a spa, Scarlet. I'll arrange one for you. You need a nice body treatment. He said, sighing heavily.

“Alright grandpa.” Scarlet said, looking straight ahead at the space in front of her. Her mind went to Lucas. How was he faring? What was he doing?

“Do you want to go to Texas? I can arrange a flight for you.”

“No grandpa, I'm okay here. I just need some time to relax then get to work. Do you think I'm not fine?” Scarlet asked as she stared at him.

“I believe you need a vacay to ease the burdens off your mind. I know how hard you loved Lucas and how you struggled to give your best. You did just the right thing my dear.”

Scarlet's eyes welled up with tears. She had given her all to Lucas who in turn chose his mistress over her. He never reciprocated her love and never even touched her after their marriage. She was attractive enough - Tall, slim, curvy, she had all a man could ever desire in a woman but still, he never looked at her side. This further hurt her heart as she felt she was not sexually attractive to Lucas enough.

“I tried my best grandpa, I tried. I gave my all. I gave up my job, my life, my family, everything yet I got treated like trash.” Scarlet cried out, crashing on the floor.

Trump hated seeing his granddaughter in such a pitiful state. He left the room quietly, closing the door gently behind him.

Scarlet clutched her chest as she sobbed loudly. She hated the fact that she had made a nuisance of herself before Lucas and his family.

“Oh no no, common Scarlet. You don't have to cry.” Lyssa rushed in. Trump has told her to check on her sister, which got her racing to the room.

“Where did I go wrong?” Scarlet screamed as her sister held her tight.

“Let out the pain, Scarlet. Let it all out. You've been such a strong lady. It is his own loss for not treating you right and letting you go.” Lyssa wiped off the tears from her face, giving her a hug.

“He chose Maria over me, over his own wife. I felt so hopeless, helpless, dejected, I felt so abandoned.” Scarlet screamed, talking incoherently.

Lyssa had never seen Scarlet in such pain before. She hugged her tighter this time around, patting her back gently.

“Get over it Scarlet. You have me, you have grandpa and Uncle Thomas. You are the heiress of a multi billionaire company, the heiress to the wealth and assets of our father. You should not be sad. That bingo is going to regret ever treating you like you didn't matter.”

“He'll pay for everything, everything he did to me.” Scarlet said between clenched teeth.

“Everything will be fine.” Lyssa said, as she sat on the wooden chair beside her sister.

“So tell me Lyssa, about the company. I'd like to know what has been happening, how it has been going?” Scarlet asked excitedly.

Lyssa was happy Scarlet was already picking and showing interest in the company. That was all that was needed for her to bounce back and regain herself.

Lyssa saw this as an opportunity to talk about the new worker at the company who was so good looking and charming.

“He's tall, well built, muscular, he has such a nice voice. You need to see the way he runs the company's affairs…..” Lyssa kept on being a chatterbox.

“I asked about the company Lyssa, not the workers. I told you, I am not interested in any man for now. My love life has gone on a break.

Lyssa laughed heartily. Her sister's words sounded funny and her expression was more funny.

“Oh common Scarlet. Your love life can't go on a break. A beautiful, young, elegant lady like you can not be single. But then sis, tell me about uhmmmm his mistress.”

“Lyssa”, Scarlet scorned and looked angrily at her sister, “You don't have to remind me about her, common. Don't do that.”

“I'm sorry, I'm just curious. Like just wanna know about her.”

“She's pretty though, tall, slim, and brunette. She has these lovely eyes. Maybe that was what got Lucas attracted to her. They have been friends since childhood anyways.”

“I see! Friends then lovers huh.” Lyssa scoffed with disgust on her face.

“I don't wanna speak about this Lyssa. Just let it go, please. I need to get some rest. We'll talk later. Shoo bye!” Scarlet said, pushing lyssa out of her room gently.

As Lyssa had gone out, Scarlet took a mirror out to look at her face. She traced her fingers down on her face, checking out all the contours of her facial features. Maria was never prettier than she was, Lucas was only a scumbag.

She looked at her body, twisting and turning as the large mirror in front of her showed her reflection. She had nice curves and elegant body features and wondered why she was never enough for Lucas.

“I took great care of myself. I did all I could as a good wife should, I endured all the pains and hurt his family put me through just for him to love me but still, it was Maria. It has always been Maria and it will always be her.” Scarlet cried out.

“You know things happen for a reason, you never can tell. He was never the perfect person for you. So don't beat yourself up.”

Scarlet looked up to see who was talking. She was taken aback. An elegant handsome looking young man was standing right before her, in her room.

“Who are you and how did you get in here?”
