Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

Mark's POV

I resisted the urge to smirk when Sydney chose to merge her shares with mine.

If only she knew.

I smiled as I gauged the sympathy in her eyes, the crease of her eyebrows as she looked between Lucas and me.

I turned to the other shareholders with a straight face and announced my sovereign rein. If they thought they could easily get rid of me then they were wrong, very wrong.

It had all been thanks to a little bit of patience. Lucas wouldn't have revealed his true intentions to everyone if I hadn't remained patient, sit back and watching him play us all.

Ever since Lucas came back, I had been keeping an eye on him. I wouldn't have cared at all about a random man that dropped down the sky and started to claim to be my fucking uncle but it turned out that the two women in my life adored him.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Grandma Doris, I could manage but Sydney? Nah. It was infuriating how Sydney was all over him that night and then afterward I ceased to exist to her or matter as a person at least. Not that she ever acknowledged me since after our divorce but then I liked to believe that she was trying to make something of herself and working but since Lucas came into her life, she was always with him.

I almost told my ssistant to stop watching them and giving me updates because it only made me want to punch the guy till I made a gaping hole in his stomach or pretty face. But I was curious, for a while, I forgot about Sydney and just focused on Lucas, my damned uncle.

Grandma Doris told me about him. My family was unkind to him just because Grandpa married another wife and loved her more. She told me everything, right from when my father took him away – practically exiled a poor baby, that was cruel, even I would admit-right to when she started to look for him and finally found him after he had lived his early years as a rich miserable boy. Grandma said and I quote, He's such a sweet boy with a pure heart, Mark. It didn't even take long for the poor boy to forgive me. Get along with him and you'd see how wonderful his personality is."

Pure heart, my ass!

I knew something was not right about him. So I made my private investigator start to trail him. Because I couldn't believe that a child that had been torn from his mother since birth, poisoned and left alone to live as if he didn't exist would just forgive the people that made life hard for him like that. I didn't believe it for one second. No one was that pure.

After a few weeks of tailing him, I heavily contemplated firing the private investigator but he was the best. Those first few weeks, Lucas was a sweet man. He was either taking his long lost crush on a romantic date or he was helping an old lady safely cross the road or he was making a kid giggle in a supermarket. He was always being the perfect guy in one way or the other, thanks to everyone being moved by such trivial things.

What the fuck! I was infuriated. I didn't pay a huge sum to get boring info like that so the investigator kept at it and then he found out more.

More of the gentlemanly things that Lucas did was work. The private Investigator looked more into his

working hours and that was how his meeting with GT Group's shareholders and some gamblers was revealed.

And then I found out that mum was addicted to gambling that it was almost sucking our fortune dry and that was because she tried to take from my own savings. Later, she confessed that she had sold some of the shares, simultaneously, the private investigator found out that Lucas started it all; he started and fed my mother's addiction and he were the mysterious buyers of the shares.

I would have gone ballistic. Beaten him to a pulp and lock him up till he rot in jail but...something stopped me. It was weird because whenever I was mad, I never hesitate to act on it but this time,I hesitated then! thought about how he had made all if us a fool, including Sydney who seemed to really like maybe, love even - I thought about all if these for days then I came to a conclusion that I would leave him be and not take any action - at least, I would not take any action he'd be aware of.

The private investigator, my assistant and my mom had been shocked at my decision but I knew it was the best. If I went ahead to get him arrested, Sydney would only hate me more abdbm ever believe that the fucker she was in love with was a conniving bastard.

Even now, he couldn't hide his he ever even love her? I found myself wondering. After all I've made Sydney go through in our marriage, she didn't deserve another horrible relationship.

I knew that to root Lucas out, I had to plan painstakingly and be patient and that was exactly what I did. I strictly followed my plan and waited for him to completely let down his guard and tear off his disguise before Sydney when he thought he had succeeded. I wanted Sydney to see him in his true colors.

So, after Lucas planned everything. I don't know how he got Grandma to tell me to marry Sandra but Grandma suggested it and I agreed to the engagement with Sandra.
