Emily POV

I woke up early to tell her I needed her to draw up the papers. After we end the call I rush to the bathroom to empty the contents in my stomach. It's just nerves is all I think I go to the restroom to get ready for my day. It takes Some time but I settle on some nice jeans that fit my body nicely with a low cut shirt. I straightened my hair and put some make up on not too much though. I'm walking through the empty house he must have left to be with his slut is all I think. I make my way downstairs to start my breakfast I made french toast with fresh fruit on top, and some eggs with bacon. I pick up my phone call Jessica "how about a road trip" is all I say as she picks up. She screams "Hell yeah" I laugh from her words she asked me about last night and tell her let's meet for coffee to talk about it. "Okay I will be there in 30 minutes" is all I say as I finish my food and clean my dishes. I walk upstairs to grab a small purse then walk out to my car getting in and driving off.

I make it to the coffee shop 5 minutes late I walk in looking around to see Jessica sitting at a back table with her cup of coffee. I walk to the table "sorry I'm late traffic got a little crazy" she smiles "it's okay I ordered your favorite" is all she says and I sit down thanking her. I began to tell her all about last night "that dog tried to deny it at first!" Is all she says with anger in her eyes. I nodded my head bringing my coffee to my lips enjoying the feeling of it sliding down my throat this is what I needed is all I think. "You should take him to the cleaners you know if you can prove he is cheating that cancels out the prenup you can take him for half of it all!" I sigh "I just want a clean break so I can start over I don't want anything he has, I'm even giving up what the prenup says I get." Is all I say and she gives me the are you crazy look. Hell I just might be crazy but I don't want a messy divorce part of me will always care for Ericson. I feel like if I do that he can hang that over my head and that's something I don't need or want. I know I can make it on my own so he can take it all if that's what it takes to make this happen quickly. "I can handle myself, but about our road trip we are going to Louisiana." She smiles "yeah, we could day drink and hire a voodoo priestess to help us find a curse that will make his peter shrivel up and die."

Her words send me into a laughing fit because this girl is crazy and that's why I love her. After we were done with coffee I told her to be ready to leave at 10 pm I want to be on the road after I sign the papers. Once I get into my car my phone rings and it's the lawyer. She informs me the papers are ready so I head to her office to look them over. It takes me a good 40 minutes to pull up to the office, it was on the nicer side of town. It was a tall building and her office is on the 10th floor. I walk in and say hello to the receptionist after we talk i walk to the elevator I had my brother already send a check to the office I told him I would pay him back immediately. But he said consider it a gift if someone fucked over his little sister then he deserves everything he got. Once I was in the elevator my phone pinged with an email from Mr. Slaughter It was the Address of the office. I would have to go to when I finally made it to Louisiana he was even kind enough to set up arrangements so I have a place to freshen up. It made me wonder what my grandmother left me and why she would leave it to me I thought she cut off my father so his only daughter would be no exception. I never asked him anything and my mother actually didn't know anything.

And she is still mad at me for leaving my soon to be ex husband so we are not on good terms at this moment. Hopefully she will forgive me after a while is all I think. The door finally opens to a beautiful and sleek office I walk in going to the front desk a young woman with black hair and hazel eyes sat behind it. " Hello, I have a meeting with Miss. Roberts she is expecting me" is all I say to her. She looks at me with a smile "you can have a seat i will inform her that you are her." I thank her then walk to my seat sitting down in the chair. It takes her 10 minutes to walk out she was a short woman with a coco brown complexion, beautiful curly hair, and wearing an all red suit. She walks to me smiling "miss. Dawson it is a pleasure" is all she says and I stand up to shake her hand. We walk into an all glass office as she hands me over the file "it's pretty simple since you say you don't want anything from him." I listen to her as I look over the files.

I pull a pen out signing it "send it to the lawyer tell him to sign it then it should be filed, I will be leaving town so I will call you with an address to send the finalized papers" is all I say she just looks at me in shock "are you sure this is what you want? I read your prenup you are entitled to 3 million dollars and a penthouse." Is all she says and I know what I'm walking away from and I'm fine with that." I smile as I say "oh I can assure you I'm entitled to much more than that but I don't want anything from him" is all I say then I stand up shaking her hand and walking out I get in the elevator I plan to go back to the house pack my bags and wait for the car that Jessica is calling to pick me up we will be leaving from her home tonight. After I'm done packing my phone rings I look down seeing it was Ericson. But I didn't answer once I signed those papers I was completely done with him I said my piece to him last night and that's all I had to say to him. I push ignore and he calls again I let it ring but don't answer it at all.

I drag my suitcases down the stairs setting them at the door. I take off the ring and leave the key on the counter in the kitchen. I walk to my bags taking one more look back a tear finally slips but I wipe and put my walls up then I walk out with my stuff. It takes a good 35 minutes for a black car to pull up I let them through the gate and the driver comes in and helps me with my bags. "Where to miss. Dawson?" Is all the driver asked once I'm in the car and I give him Jessica's address. As he drives I go through the dozens of text messages that Ericson decided to leave saying how dare you and I can't believe you really did it and the whole bunch of BS the last one says you're really going to kiss 3 million dollars goodbye! I didn't text back one time I just blocked him. I lean back and enjoy the ride it took an hour for us to pull up to the suburban neighborhood that she lives in. I get out as the driver gets out my bags I call her to let her know I'm out front.

A few minutes later her door opens and she rushes to help me with my bags "damn you didn't waste any time!" I smile as I thank the driver then walk up to her doors "he has been texting and calling me be back to back probably to insult me " She laughs calling him a jackass "I blocked him so he won't be bothering me" is all I say once we are inside we decide to talk as she orders some pizza "I just have to pack a few more items then we can hit the road early." Is all she says as she walks upstairs to her room I decide to watch a movie while I wait for her. It takes her some time to pack she comes down when she hears the door bell "that must be the pizza I'm starving" is all she says as she walks downstairs. She opens the door paying for the pizza and she grabs some plates "how many slices do you want?" I look towards her telling her only two I usually don't eat pizza. She gives me a plate with some soda. As we ate our food we gossip about our old highschool days i grabbed another slice and Jessica just looks at me "you don't usually eat that many slices" I shrug "I have been hungry lately" is all I say as I finish off my third slice. I help her clean up and bring down her bags then we pack up the car "let me get some snacks" is all she says. I laugh as I grab the drinks once we are in the car Jessica will drive half the way and I will drive the other half. We start the playlist as she speeds off.

Ericson POV

I was in meetings all day by the time lunch rolled around and I got a call from my lawyer. Informing me that he got the divorce papers already signed by Emily. She really signed them is all I think as I tell him I will be there in 40 minutes. The office was close to mine only 15 blocks down the road. I decided to walk as I got a call from Alyssa she wanted to meet me for lunch but I let her know I can't but I will take her out for dinner. "I can't wait to see you" is all she says I smile and tell her "me either" then I hang up the phone continuing my walk. Part of me is going to miss seeing Emily waiting for me at home. I think back to when times were good she was truly the perfect girl in college so beautiful and smart! Every guy wanted her but she only had eyes for me. I fell hard back then I couldn't help it she even helped me with my schooling she was truly brilliant.

Then my mind drifted to that night about how strong she was when she stood up to me. I truly didn't expect that I think as I stopped in front of the office but I didn't love her anymore I wasn't in love like before I don't know when it happened but it did. I open the double glass doors walking to the elevator pushing the number 15 once the door closes. My phone dings it's a text from one of my closest friends Derick he helps me run the underground part of my business. The part that only a few know about it started as something to do to defy my parents. then it just grew I was good at it and the people I had that were a part of it are very loyal. Meet me at the warehouse tonight I found Luis DaVetto. Is all it reads I text back letting him know I will be there when I'm done at the office Alyssa will just have to wait I think because finding that asshole was way more important than having dinner with her.

I have been looking for this guy for months his men have been hitting our shipments and not just one but several it caused us to lose millions and that is something that is pissing me off. I come from a rich family but I like to make my own way I started my side business in 11th grade and never looked back. The door opens and I walk in looking at the pretty receptionist I smile causing her to blush " good morning Sara I'm here to see Greg." She tells me he is expecting me so I walk to his office I have known Greg for years since he was a young attorney just looking for his big break and I helped him. Along the way we became friends after that. I can call on him for whatever and I know I have his loyalty he has been tested and didn't roll over on me or my business. He already knows what will happen if he ever did. I walk towards his office knocking twice. I hear him say "come in" I walk in looking at the male sitting at the desk he was on the shorter side standing at 5ft 11 with blond hair and blue eyes. He wore an Armani suit he always believed you dress for success and with how much money I pay him he could afford to do so.

He looks up to me with a smile "hey Ericson" is all he says as he gets up to shake my hand "I just got the papers she doesn't want anything at all she actually just wants it to be done quickly" is all he says I give him a look I know she said that but it makes me wonder why. She is entitled to three million dollars plus a penthouse and 20 percent of my business and she declined it all. What she has up her sleeves is all I think most women would fight for that and so much more. "So if you don't mind me asking what happened?" Is all he asks as he hands me the papers and the pen. I walked to the table to sign it "she saw me with Alyssa I don't know where but when I got home it was an argument and her asking me for a divorce." Is all I say as I begin to sign he makes a face when I say Alyssa he doesn't like her nor trust her. But she is not for him to like "well that sucks but I keep telling you that gold digger is not good for you." I cut my eyes "she isn't for you to like Greg she is hot and fun in bed that's all I want from her and she delivers that and so much more." Is all I say I do like Alyssa do I love her hell no but she is girlfriend material and I know she can keep up with my life Emily is a good girl she isn't for me, I don't need a good girl I need a bad ass and with Alyssa I have that. Or so I thought I did....

I sign the papers then leave walking back to my office I stop at my favorite Chinese spot to get a quick lunch I think back on the argument when she saw us hell where she see us. It's not like it matters but it does bother me after I finish my moo shu pork I get up and walk to my office. Once I'm back in my office I walk to my desk looking over some paperwork we had a presentation with some investors coming up so I look over the PowerPoint I have someone presenting. Once I'm done with it I call Joshua the head of one of my departments into my office. He sits in front of me "you need to fix it, the spread sheet doesn't match any of the information who did you have to do this?" He tries to lie and say he did it but I give him a look that says I'm not in the mood for his b.s. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was lying and he looked nervous. "Okay I had my secretary do it, it was my anniversary and I wanted to take my wife out." I cut my eyes "this meeting is important Joshua if you don't fix it you can kiss your job good bye do you understand me!" He nods his head "of course sir, I will fix it right away." He says getting up quickly and walks out.

I groan what an idiot is all I think then look towards the clock seeing it's 6:30 pm. I usually leave the office around 8:30 pm or 9 but I have some business to attend too. And this could take all night my favorite part is to torture someone untill they break and I want to take my time with this asshole. I get up grabbing my suitcase and walking out calling Derick "have our special guest ready I'm on my way." Is all I say as I walk out of my office towards the elevator. When I get in I push the button for my Private parking structure once the doors open I walk out walking to my car getting in. It takes me a good hour to get to New Jersey where I hold one of my warehouses then I get out of the car typing in the code for the door to open. I look around it's empty for the night but I can hear the sound of Derick beating the crap out of Luis it was music to my ears.
