OPERATION DIVORCE ME, MR BILLIONAIRE!

Axel

No sooner had Ivory exited my office had Klin strolled in.

“I apologize for earlier, Mr Muller“ Klin says.

“It's alright. I understand my wife can be quite strong headed if she wants to“ I respond. “I didn't summon you so what brings you by?“

“Reporter Kim just called. He said he got a top from an unknown caller that they saw your wife entering a stripper's club“

I froze. Was this what Ivory was succumbing to now since I didn't sign those divorce papers?

Springing up from my seat, I ordered Klin. “Push back every meeting I have scheduled for the rest of the day“

“Mr Muller, where are you going?“ Klin asked, nervous.

“To bring my wife back from the stripper's club, of course“

“But if you're found in a place like that, sir..“

“It would affect the company's reputation, I know“ I say, stating the obvious. “But what can I do? That's the game my wife decides to play“

Pulling out my phone from my pocket, I called Chris, my chauffeur.

“Chris, get the car ready. I'll be downstairs in 10“

“Yes, sir“

Hanging up, I turned to Klin. “Right. Did reporter Kim give you the name of the stripper's club?“

“HEADLEY“

HEADLEY was one of the lost notorious stripper's club in town as most of it's client were known men in the industry.

Thus, to hide their identity they always wore a mask inside the club but their names were never kept secret from the club owner himself.

Reporters like reporter Kim whose news company weree crashing and desperate for some dirt on men like myself usually hung around HEADLEY to bribe the club owner into releasing the names of clients that visited the club.

Then, they spread rumors for destroy their career. The only difference would be that in my case, it wasn't a going to be a rumor.

Because one, I was sure as hell Ivory was at the stripper's club. She was that daunting. Two, I was going in there to get my woman out.

“We've arrived, sir“ Chris, my chauffeur announces as the car comes to a stop in front of HEADLEY.

Pulling out my cat face mask, I placed it over my face. Then, climbed out of my car and strolled into the club.

The bodyguards out front stopped me. “Your name, please?“

“Axel Muller“

They exchanged glances between themselves as if wondering if they should believe me or not.

“Sorry, but we're going to need you to take off your mask for verification“ One of them says.

I complied with their requests. “There. Have you confirmed your suspicion?“

“Yes, sir. You may put your mask back on“

I do.

“You may go in, sir. Do have a splendid time“

Strolling in, I noticed how ridiculously filled up the club was.

“Don't these men have anything else better to do than to watch some random woman dancing around a pole?“ I muttered in disbelief.

If not that I was here for Ivory, nothing would have ever brought me to a place like this.

Taking to a random seat, I searched around for any sign of Ivory but I didn't see her. It was unlike her to lie about being in a stripper's club so where on earth was she?

“Gentlemen, we would now have the beloved Miss Sinclair take to the stage and show us her wonderful performance“ The MC announces. “Please, give her a round of applause as she takes to the stage“

Applause fills the air as the light seems and a lady dressed in a red gown takes to the stage.

She wasn't just any lady but my wife.

I stared in awe as Ivory seduces the pole before her=, spinning around it like a pro. My fist tightened as I fought the urge to pluck out the eyes of the men watching her.

After what seemed to have been forever, Ivory's performance comes to an end as applause fills the air once more.

The light comes back up as the MC comes to the stage, chuckling with excitement. “I can see you all enjoyed yourself with Miss Sinclair's performance. Now, shall we start the bidding?“

I froze. Bidding?

“YES!!“ The crowd shouts. It was as if they were all informed about the bidding except me.

Turning to a gentleman beside me, I asked. “Sorry, what's the bidding for?“

“Are you new here?“ He asked.

“Something of the sort“

“The bidding is for who gets to spend a night with Miss Sinclair“

I quirked my brow, “Spend a night with her? As in have sex?“

“Of course. What would you do if you had a hottie like Sinclair in your bed? Talk about the weather?“ The man shakes his head. “Sinclair is HEADLEY's most precious jewel. Everyone is dying to have a taste of her so I'd advise you to sit out this bidding“

“Why?“

The man chuckled as if he'd just heard one of the most ridiculous question ever. “Because you're obviously going to lose“

“Let the bidding begin!“ The MC announces.

A man far off raises up his paddle. “2 million“

“Ooh, we're off to a strong start“ The MC acknowledges. “Do I hear a 2.5?“

Another man raises up his paddle “3 million“

As the bidding number kept on rising, my gaze lingered on Ivory on the stage as I burned with an uncontrollable anger within me.

Not only did she come to a stripper's club but now she was being bidded off to spend a night with a random stranger?

If I hadn't showed up tonight, was this how she would have ended up in a total stranger's bed?

“Do I hear a 50million?“ The MC asks, his voice snapping me out of my thoughts. “40 million. Going once! Going twice!“

No one gets to go home with my woman except me. For now, let's just get her out of this mess.

Raising up my bidding paddle, I declared. “15 billion“
