After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Sherly

The long-awaited day has finally come, the day that will mark the beginning of my victory. I already had everything planned out and I cannot wait to start executing my plans, I had been in the car for hours watching as people troop in and out of the engagement hall, different calibers of people are here mostly influential businessmen and women and I can’t help but to applaud Ava she did so well over the years, poor her, I’ll be taking everything away from her very soon

I watched as she stood with Nicklaus attending to guests and also greeting them as well. They look so fucking good in their couples outfit for tonight I must applaud them, I know they spent billions of dollars on just that outfit, I was waiting for the perfect time to act

Finally, I saw an opportunity, I stepped down from my car immediately and walked towards them, immediately they saw me their eyes widened in surprise they were both shocked

I sighed knowing I had to act fast, put on a pitiful look, and gain their pity boom….. that was the plan

“Sherly, what are you doing here?” Nicklaus groan sternly and I sighed inwardly

“Calm Sherly he’s the key to your goldmine” I tried to calm myself down and play the pity roll smoothly, I started whimpering faking my tears

“I…I….. I….. I’m sorry for everything I did to you two please find a place in your heart to forgive me” I whimpered

“Leave Sherly now!” Nicklaus ordered, fuck! this fool is about to mess my plans up but I won’t let him, I suddenly held onto Ava’s arms

“Ava please I know I’ve wronged you people I don’t know what to do or say to show you people how sorry I am but after Xavier ran away with a mysterious lady and died, I reminisce on my past and knew I’ve wronged the both of you please trust me I’m a changed person please” I pleaded crying louder as my fake tears kept on streaming uncontrollably

“Hey come on Sherly stop crying, I’ve forgiven you okay” Ava muttered wiping my tears, I smirk inwardly

“You’ve forgiven me?” I asked to be sure

“Yes why not, It’s no use holding onto the past I’ve divided to let go of my past and the people that hurt me, I’m now open to new life and making new friends”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Perfect” I smiled inwardly. This was easier than I thought. I never knew this fool would fall for my shred so easily, I used to think she was so tough, it now seems she was acting all those while, now let me see how you’ll escape from my wrath Ava……

“Trust me babe I know this woman she’s a snake don’t believe her, she’s not what she pretends to be” Nicklaus lashed trying to change Ava’s mind about me, this idiot,

“No…no…Ava trust me I’m a changed person please I can even kneel to beg you please” I faked my tears again kneeling down

“No.. no…no Sherly stand up please don’t ever kneel to me again,” She said pulling me up with pitty all over her face,

“Come on my heartbeat you can see she’s truly sorry for her past okay?”

“Just don’t say I didn’t warn you” Nicklaus growls looking away, I smile knowing I already got them now it’s time for me to start my plans, I looked around for the waitress and gave her a sign, she walked to us immediately with a tray of drinks, and just as planned I took that particular glass of wine

I walked to Nicklaus standing before him

“Please accept this wine as a token, please. I’m sorry for my past mistakes and all the pain I’ve caused you. Can we be friends?”

“No…..” He said sternly

“Yes off course Sherly we can be friends” Ava smiled and took the wine

“Shit!” I curse inwardly praying for her not to take the wine

“Here my heartbeat have it” Ava smiled giving Nicklaus the glass of wine, I prayed inwardly watching keenly for him to take it, and slowly he took the wine from Ava he gave me a side eye before gulping down the whole content

“Perfecto” I applauded myself, now let the real fun begin

I walk to Ava and stood beside her

“Thanks for forgiving me Ava, I really appreciate”

“You’re welcome Sherly and I’m sorry for Xavier’s death, I know it wasn’t easy on you”

“It was so hard” I whimpered faking my tears again, fuck this bitch is making me cry so hard in one day only if she knows that I killed Xavier and his death paved the way for me

“You look pretty” She complimented me,

“You too you look stunning,” I said and she blushed so hard, well she should enjoy it while it last cause soon it will turn to mourning for her, I could see Nicklaus massaging his forehead from the corners of my eyes the drug is starting to take effect, I smiled secretly

“My heartbeat I’ll go rest upstairs come to me when you’re done okay”

“Okay” Ava smiled and kissed him and boom he’s walking upstairs to go rest, I brought out my phone and secretly tested Tessa to follow him, I look at Ava who’s still smiling at the people I shook my head she don’t know what’s coming for her

Finally, after hours, the engagement party is over, everybody has left remaining the cleaners that were taking care of the whole place cleaning and taking away used plates and glasses, and of course, I helped out in cleaning the mansion too, I washed plates and the used glasses as well all for my goals

“Ava I’ve to leave now,” I said to her,

“Thank you so much, Sherly for staying with me till now and for helping out with the cleaning”

“Sure we are now friends right?”

“Yes of course”

”So I’ll help anytime” I smile

“Alright wait here while I go upstairs to get my phone at least your number”

“Sure” I smile knowing she won’t be getting it in peace

Minutes later I heard a scream, it’s happening I smile and as the good friend I am, I ran upstairs and saw Nicklaus looking shocked, he was covering his nakedness with the sheet and dripping wet, guess Ava poured him water to wake him from his slumber, while Tessa is only in her panties and bra, awesome!

“My heartbeat wait, I can explain I swear I don’t know what’s happening” Poor Nicklaus tried to explain, I looked at Tessa and smiled secretly at her

“How dare you do this to me?! Ava lashes angrily pointing accusing fingers at him

“Ava please I don’t even know what happened” Nicklaus groaned ruffling his hair

“What happened Ava?” I asked in my innocent voice

“He was in bed with this trash that I don’t even know, I had to pour him a jug of water to wake up they were cuddling so tight” She cried hugging my shoulders

“It’s okay Ava you need to calm down at least”

“Listen Nicklaus I’ll never forgive you for doing this on our engagement day”

“Ava please let me….”

She ignored him and ran out while I ran after her, I texted Tessa quickly to leave there,

“Sherly please take me out of here away from here” She cried,

“Sure” I nodded caressing her back, I opened the car door for her and she entered while I entered through the driver’s seat, I look at her to see her looking out through the window while sulking

“Of course baby girl I’m taking you straight to hell where you belong” I smile evilly
