How To Get A Divorce From A Billionaire ?

Episode 14

Although i was a bit worried about Eliyas .. I still didn't contact him, i believed that grandmother of mine would surely call if ever something happened or even if she had news to gossip about because that lady was more of a journalist than i ever was.
Trusting my grandmother's total incapability of keeping to her self, i threw all Eliyas's matter to the back of my head.

That is until something came up.. And the only one i thought of seeking help from was Eliyas.

i was working on a certain report about a foreign company when the name of one of the mentioned lawyers was awfully familiar.

The old 60 something famous lawyer had Algerian origins although he was a French citizen by nationality. He was so successful that his namely big company hired him for a scandalous trading case and they won it effortlessly.

What caught my attention though was not his phenomenon success record, but his picture, and his name.. I saw that man before, he was the man who my mother married after my father's death and she left me behind for.

I was in middle school at the time, in my last year in middle school to be precise, i walked inside my mother's room for a reason which i no longer remember and when i opened her closet i was surprised to find an empty space which had only two big heavy bags put inside.

I was so surprised that even when my mother walked inside the room i didn't hear her coming, it wasn't until she pushed me away from the closet and closed it in a hurry that i finally snapped out of my confusion and asked calmly:

_"Mama.. Are you going somewhere?"

She looked at me uneasily.. then admitted:

_" i'm going to remarry and leave the country"

You see, my mother was never a particularly good person nor a mature grown up. She acted selfish and snobby, and always caused problems whenever she went. Yet.. If i had to praise one thing about her then i must mention her looks, She was so beautiful like a doll, Back when she was younger she was considered like a goddess of beauty in our city, not only men but even women went speechless at the sight of her, I mostly inherited my father's beauty genes, which are not bad yet not as good as my mother's.

Anyways, when my father died in a car accident when i was ten, men already started to offer to marry her only few months past the funeral.
My grandmother had absolutely refused that.. I thought my mother did too, until she said while standing beside the closet:

_" i was with this man for three years now, we're finally going to marry"

_"what about me?" I asked logically in a cold tone.

Since i was not informed .. It meant that i was not included in her plans.
She looked at me as if i was a burden to her great plan and she said:

_"i'm going to start my life with him, i had wasted my years in this town and in this family, and i want to finally be happy.. Can you please do that for me Noursine? Please don't tell anyone until i leave, i'm leaving in two days anyways, i'll send you money when i go there and i will try to take you there when things are settled"

That was a total lie actually .. Just a bargain to shut me up, she had never thought about taking me along.. And i knew that even at that moment, that my mother was lying.. And was going to throw me out of her life.

What does a 14 years old girl know about the selfishness of people? The most selfish thing i mostly did at that age was to abandon my old shoes for the new ones.

And i was not going to start acting selfish and ruin her plans just because i wanted to keep her by my side or to punish her for abandoning me.

I didn't act dramatic, i refused to cry because of the woman who chose to leave me behind to start a new life no matter how devastated i was.
