1. Divorce

"Sign and leave."

The divorce papers were on the table.

After two years of marriage, Gale Lind finally decided to divorce her. It is not that Helena, his wife, was oblivious to the rumors that circulated on social media and in the entertainment news.

The famed billionaire Gale Lind, married to a mysterious woman, has been seen, several times in the last month, in the company of the most trending actress of the moment, Sofía Hill.

Helena knew very well that those two were childhood friends and were dating before Helena's family forced her to marry him. From the beginning, there was no love, there was no affection, it was just a business deal, an arrangement.

"I'll leave you the mansion and ten million, nothing more," he said, seeing that she didn't sign immediately.

"Fine," Helena replied with an indifferent look and a blank expression. She took the papers, reviewed them for a few seconds, and without hesitation, she signed. Just like that.

Then, as if nothing, she got up from the sofa and walked towards the entrance.

Gale never thought that this woman would make it so easy. Just like that?

"Wait..."

Helena didn't listen but grabbed the doorknob before turning to face him. "What?"

Gale swallowed. Helena was an extremely beautiful woman, she had the face of an angel, she was tall and curvy, and every time he had her in his bed, it was as if he were tasting heaven. However, behind that innocent face, there was a climbing woman, who only wanted money and nothing else. That's how they got married, for money.

Now that Grandpa was dead, and he had taken over the company, he no longer needed her. He wasn't going to stay in a marriage that was just a forced contract. It was humiliating to his pride and reputation.

"Do you need anything else? You can handle the paperwork, right?" she said without showing expression, "If you need anything else, you'd better contact my lawyer, Mr. Lind."

Helena looked at him in a way she had never done in the past. With indifference and arrogance. Before, Gale could feel love slipping from her lovely eyes like honey, and sometimes he felt that it was too much for him, his heart was beating uncontrollably and his body was reacting like a beast with just a glance at her. But he had sworn to himself, not to fall into her schemes, he would only give her sex from time to time, passionate sex until he was satisfied, but nothing more. His heart was for Sofia.

Gale swallowed, not knowing what to say. He thought she would refute him or make a scene and he was prepared for that. He would scold her, call the security guards, and drag her out of the office. He would see her cry and humiliate herself in front of everyone. Maybe he would feel a little guilty, help her up and take her to the mansion, then make passionate love to her one last time and say goodbye.

This is how he thought that marriage would end, but she immediately changed. It was as if she had never loved him, as if she had only played with him.

"You..."

"Mr. Lind, I'm in a hurry, I have a lot to do right now, and you're taking up my time. If you have anything to say, contact my lawyer. I'll leave the details with your secretary. Excuse me."

Saying that she opened the door and went out. Gale could only see her, the words had gotten stuck in his mouth. For an instant, it was as if his heart escaped from his chest, he couldn't believe that she had left like that, so coldly.

He couldn't resist it, so he got up from his chair in a moment and walked to the entrance. The secretaries looked at him and were surprised at how out of control he showed.

"Sir..."

"Where did she go?"

"Miss Jin went to the elevators, she left us a lawyer's card."

The secretaries did not know about his relationship with Helena, nobody did. That was the deal with the Jin family. Helena and Gale would marry in secret. Helena had to always stay at home, taking care of Gale's mother and waiting for Gale every day like a good wife. In exchange, the Linds would give the Jin family a large sum of money to pay off their debts and continue their business.

Gale's mother, Olga Lind, was a superstitious woman and blindly believed in a witch famous for reading fortunes. That woman told her that Helena would be her and her son's savior in the future. So Olga did not hesitate to propose the marriage between her son and Helena, belittling Sofia.

But, in the last year and a half, fortune, according to the witch, had changed and now it was Sofia who appeared as the best option. Olga did not take long to despise Helena and mistreat her every day since she could not do anything to make Helena divorce her son. After all, grandfather Lind would not let her.

In that way, Helena's life was a torment. But Gale never realized it, he thought that this woman only knew how to be vile, arrogant, and greedy. She asked him for money from time to time, usually after making love. She was no better than a whore, and now she made herself worthy. What a joke!

He wasn't going to let her go like that, like she was the victim and he was the villain.

He went to the elevator immediately but didn't find her. He immediately took the elevator that was only for the CEO and it didn't take many seconds when he was already on the first floor. The woman with her tight white dress showing off her pretty round butt and her firm and broad chest, caught the eyes of all the men as she walked. She was like a temptress.

Who gave her the right to be so flirtatious? Even though they were already separated, and he had already signed the divorce, she was still his wife as long as he didn't register the papers.

Gale didn't realize that his employees were greeting him and looking at him too, tall and handsome, with a face sculpted by the gods and an athlete's body. He was the dream lover of many women and men and if he were not married, he would be the most coveted bachelor in the world.

But now, that man had to put his elegance aside for a moment to reach Helena.

He had never brought her to the office, never been out with her in public, and no one knew that she was his wife. That exquisite woman with her long brown hair, with that fragile and soft skin that turned him on just by looking at her. That woman was his wife but nobody knew it.

"¡Helena!"
