Mommy, Is The President Our Daddy? The Ex-Wife’s Revenge

Asher’s POV

I noticed that she did not believe anything I was saying to her and I could not blame her. I had even apologized yet she saw it as a joke.

She has been shocked at first seeing as I had not apologized to her before but now she was too mad to even look at me. She had her eyes stuck to the space between us.

I only wished she would know that my intentions were pure. I was different now. I had no idea how terrible I used to be but right now I could tell that I was trying to be a different person for her.

I was only just realizing how much I missed her and coming to the fact that the very woman I had divorced and even mistreated was the person I most wanted to have today.

Everything I had done to her in the past had me ashamed of myself.

“Please, let me get you home. At least let me make up for messing up today,” I said, hoping she would listen to me and go with my request.

“No,” she shook her head, still adamant to be left alone. “No you will not play me again like you played me before. I know you. You will promise to take me home and continue on the journey just like you did before.

“I will not fall for the same trick twice. I don’t believe you will take me home after the stunt you just pulled on me now.”

“Fine,” I looked around see taxi’s parked by the side of the road. “Can I at least pay for your cab fare back home? It’s clear you don’t believe me.”

“Of course I don’t believe you. Who does what you just did? It was terrible of you and I refuse to fall for such trickery again. And I am not broke or poor, I can pay for my own cab fare home. I cannot beleive I showed up for you after all this time.

“Made out time to be here from my busy work day only to have this stupid embarrassing moment. I’m done. Have a nice day Asher.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I watched her walk away as she called a cab which parked in front of her.

She got in and I ran to be with her.

“Zen,” I called as I grabbed her hand. “I am terribly sorry. I did not know that it would be like this. I really wished things could have been different. Please forgive me.”

I dipped my hand into my pocket, getting out some money which I handed to the driver as she was about to protest.

“Keep the change and don’t let her pay you,” I said to the driver.

She folded her arms in anger as I held her hand from the window.

“Don’t avoid me again… please,” I sighed. I watched her nod silently before letting her go. Watching the cab drive off had my heart thumping with unbearable pain.

Maybe I had some aomeyhing unspeakable. I was supposed to be in her good graces and not be making terrible decisions.

“What are you doing man?” I sighed.

I got into my own car telling the driver to take me home as he did that.

Immediately I got home, I entered the house to get a buzz. I took out my phone to see a text from her.

‘Thank you for your apology. It means a lot.’

She has texted me back which meant she had forgiven me. She seemed really mad after the stunt I had played but I was glad we were back on the same page.

At least we were back on speaking terms so I saw that as progress.

I felt more relieved after that as I headed for the board room to see many politicians waiting there for me.

Today was going to be a good day.

Zendaya’s POV

I got the children ready for bed, kissing them one by one on the cheek as they fell asleep. When I was done, I stood by the door watching them sleep.

My mind suddenly drifted to how the day had gone. The restaurant, his late coming, his coercion into me getting in his car, his treachery and everything.

But the one which surprised me the most was his apology. That was something I had not seen coming.

Why was he behaving like a totally different person? I could tell that something was up here and it was making me feel awkward about my plans.

Why was he calling me out on dates in public? That was something he never did while we were together. I hated the fact that he saw me as inferior in the past but now he saw me as someone who was better than before.

Maybe that was the reason for why he apologized and why he did things that he would not normally do.

His apology was another thing which got me reeling.

I was genuinely angry at why he had wasted my time, acted like he knew me in the restaurant by ordering for me and has tried taking me to a different section of town.

This was enough to end things since I already hated him but that would ruin my revenge plans. After he has apologized and I had gotten into the cab, I had sent him a message. The purpose was to draw him in to me and continue with my plans.

To him, I liked him, but to me, he was just another stepping stone to realizing what I wanted to do.

His apology sounded real but it also could have been fake. He had never apologized to me before so I didn’t know if he was only faking trying my defenses down but either way, he was still my target.

Real or fake, it didn’t matter as what I wanted was not an apology but revenge. He could burn with his apologies for all I cared.
