DIVORCING THE BILLIONAIRE

Hannah was soaked by the rain as she entered her mother's house. "What's wrong? Why are you soaked?"

"I'm fine, Mom. Maybe it's because of the cold," replied Hannah.

"Let's go to the hospital. You look pale. I'll call Jake," her mom said, noticing that Hannah seemed to be faint.

"Hey, Jake. Hannah is not feeling well. I want to take her to the hospital. She looks pale," said her mom to her husband.

"I have a lot of important matters to attend to this time, Mom. She can drive herself home. And she can go to the hospital by herself," said Jake on the other line.

"But she can't drive by herself. You know I can't walk."

"Okay. I'll drive to pick her up later." Jake hung up the phone after. However, Hannah was fixed on her mother's request to change clothes.

"Where are you going? You know it's raining so hard outside," her mom said, noticing her holding an umbrella.

"He was right. I can go alone by myself. He has a lot of important matters to attend to as always. I'll go home now, Mom. I'll cook his dinner," she said.

Hannah drove by herself to go home, even though she wasn't feeling well. She didn't hesitate to cook dinner for her husband and waited for almost an hour.

"You're home. I'll cook your dinner," she said when Jake finally arrived.

"Your cooking skills are as tasty as always. But I don't want to eat this recipe again," he said.

"Okay. I'll cook something different for you." But Jake only sipped the juice and left her behind. However, Hannah followed him in their room, helping her husband take off his clothes.

"Let's have our photoshoot tomorrow before my birthday comes," she said. And Jake only nodded and went to sleep. As tomorrow came, Hannah had trouble breathing while her husband sat next to her. They were having their couple photoshoot that day.

"Madam, come closer please," said the photographer. She sat closer next to her husband, who was now emotionless and just stared at the camera.

"Tomorrow is my birthday. I can't wait for it," said Hannah.

"Yeah. You're right. Tomorrow is another year of your existence," replied Jake.

Hannah rested her head on Jake's shoulder while holding his arms and smiled widely before the photographer took their photo.

"Madam, your picture is ready. Please take a look," said the photographer.

"Look, we look sweet here." But Jake only ignored her words and suggested that they get a divorce.

Hannah was shocked and hurt by Jake's suggestion. She had always believed that they could work through their problems, and the idea of ending their marriage was devastating to her.

"Why are you planning this? Can't we fix our problems?" she pleaded.

"Seeing you argue with me every day makes me feel tired and exhausted, Hannah. I give up now. Let's get a divorce so we won't argue with each other anymore."

Jake walked out and slammed the door while Hannah cried emotionally. She didn't expect her husband to want a divorce. She thought he had a surprise for her birthday, but she was wrong. Because on that day, her husband surprised her with the shocking news that he wanted a divorce. The photographers were also shocked. The billionaire wanted to divorce this innocent girl.

"Please Jake, don't do this. We can fix our relationship and make it last. Just don't do this. I can't let it happen. I know we don't have much time together, but we can rebuild a good relationship again," begged the wife.

"I'm sorry, Hannah. I'm tired of always waiting, and I have made my decision. Let's get a divorce," said the man.

As they talked more about it, she began to see that Jake was serious about the divorce. He didn't even care about her birthday.

"Today is my birthday. I thought you would remember, but it seems like you forgot."

She hugged her husband, but he didn't care. He grabbed his phone and talked to his lawyer about the divorce. Hannah was in serious pain as she left the room. No matter how much she begged her husband, he didn't listen.

"Where is he? Isn't he going to celebrate with you?" her mother asked.

"He's not feeling well, Mom." After the party was over, she tried to talk to her husband.

"We can have a new life if we get a divorce. We won't need to worry about each other. In fact, we can move on and start a new chapter in our lives," he said.

"I can't live without you, Jake. I'm going to miss those days we spent together. It's hard for me to blame you when you have already checked out." Hannah cried, but her husband didn't care to wipe her tears.

"Let's accept the reality that we're not destined to stay together forever. Whether you like it or not, I don't want to stop the divorce."

"This is not the time to say goodbye to each other. This is not the end. We will find a way to fix all of our problems."

"Of course it is. This time I'm going to say goodbye. It's the end of everything, Hannah. Why don't you understand? I do love my business."

"Then you can love me too, Jake. I'm important too."

"Enough is enough, Hannah! Let's get a divorce," he shouted.

Hannah cried desperately. No matter how much she begged her husband, it didn't work at all. As the days went by, it only got worse.

"We've been through so much together, and I can't imagine my life without you. I don't want to give up on us, and I hope you don't either. Let's go to counseling, let's try to communicate better, let's do whatever it takes to save our marriage. Please, don't do this. I'm begging you." But her husband is always shouting at her to stop begging. And this time, Hannah can't handle this situation anymore.
