A Trillionaire’s Revenge novel Chapter 41

The funeral service had come to an end and his body had been taken for cremation. I refused to go. I didn't want to see my father that way. I didn't want to have such awful memories. I wanted to remember him as the strong, courageous man he was even though he had his flaws. He wasn't perfect. He had his flaws- many flaws, but all in all, he was a good man and a wonderful father.

I was lodged in a hotel, refusing to live with my mother or move in with Aunt Ruth. I needed my personal space and some time off. I needed to think and come up with a plan for my unborn child. I tried so hard to block out thoughts about Luke, but I just couldn't help it. A part of me still loved him and wanted to mend our relationship, but a greater part of me hated him and wanted him to pay dearly for everything he'd done to my family. After I'd been informed about dad's passing, not only did I realize that it was as a result of my choices alongside mom's choices, but also, dad's death was a result of everything orchestrated by Luke.

Dad's illness began as a result of excessive thinking, excessive thinking which came from the lack of funds. There were too much expenses on him, and he had no money to cater to it all. The hospital bills became a problem too. Lucas kept stealing our wealth, setting us up and destroying our businesses and image. It was all him. I lost my father because of one single mistake I made; marrying Luke.

I couldn't just let my dad's death slide. I was in too much pain knowing that Luke and Laurel caused the whole thing. His death wasn't natural, it was a man made calamity.

"Judge Lahey will see you now, Mrs. Carrington." The secretary says, as she shows me the way to Judge Lahey's office. Thankfully, I still held some amount of influence being a Richardson, and also the wife of the famous trillionaire, Lucas Carrington.

"Good morning, Mrs. Carrington, please."The Judge says, gesturing to the chair.

"Judge Lahey, good morning to you too."

"Would you like a cup of coffee? Juice? Tetley tea?"

"No, please." I say, as I take off my shades. "I'd like to get straight to the point, please."

"Very well. How may I assist you?" The judge asks.

"I want an annulment. I want a divorce from my husband and I would like to request for half of everything he owns. I want it filed today, not a day later." I say, my heart throbbing at the words leaving my mouth.
