After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Montana

I watched Mr Marciano as he battled with mixed emotions, why do I feel like this is a topic he doesn’t want to talk about, it’s more like reopening an old wound that you’ve tried all your life to forget about.

“No, I’ll say it maybe I will feel better after speaking to someone else, it’s been years already”

“Ohh okay,” I smile,

“I got married to Dominic’s mother, I wasn’t rich but I was working hard enough to put food on our table. Back then she said she didn’t care about my status, she said that all that mattered was our love for each other. I believed her and trusted her, I did everything in my power to make sure she was comfortable, I even took extra jobs to make sure that nothing was lacking at home,

We were living happily as one small happy family, it all started when I started noticing changes in her behavior, and any time I tried to talk to her about it, she shouted at me and reminded me of how poor and miserable I was, it got to a point that she stopped coming back home, she will be gone for weeks and come back whenever it pleases her and when I tried talking to her, she’ll shut me up again and kept reminding me of how unfortunate she is to be with a man like me,

She stopped taking care of Dominic to the point that I’d go to work and come back only to meet little Dominic at home, crying for food with no one to take care of him, and that’s when I couldn’t take it anymore,

One day she left as usual and when I traced her to where she was going, it turned out she was cheating on me with my rich boss who I work for, my boss back then was a rich man who owned a company, I was just a cleaner in his company, my boss doesn’t like paying me after I worked for him, he would rather pay half of my money and tell me to return the next day and sometimes he won’t even pay me at all.

Dominic’s mother came back that day and I confronted her about how I saw her cheating on me with my boss, that was the day she angrily told me she was fed up with the marriage, she pulled out our wedding ring and threw it to my face, I begged and pleaded for her to stay but she never listened to me, I even use Dominic our child to plead with her but she told me to go to hell with my baby saying she doesn’t care about him, she said I can have him and both of us can go to hell…

I can still remember how little Dominic held her leg begging her not to leave but she left us and never came back, I was left with little Dominic alone, I was sad and broken beyond repair, I didn’t know where to start from, but I promise my little Dominic that I was not going to remarry, I will raise him alone and be his father and the mother he never had, at first I didn’t know where to start from but I was determined to work hard and give my son a good life, I don’t want him to be weak like me when he grows up, most especially I don’t want him to meet a woman like his mother, I don’t want him to make the same mistake that I made,

And that was when I met my boss, he introduced me to the mafia business, I started working for him, my boss saw how dedicated and hard work I was, so he made me his right-hand man, things were finally getting better for us, I could give Dominic whatever he wants,

We relocated to a new house, and was now eat healthy food unlike before when we only fed on junk, my boss handed his business to me and gave me all his wealth before he died, he said I was the best and most trusted servant he’s ever had, and that’s how I became the mafia boss,

I trained Dominic the hardest way I could, I didn’t want him to be weak, I made sure he was nothing like me back then, but what I didn’t realize was my son was never happy the whole time, I didn’t know I caused him so much pain to the point he would shot himself” Mr Marciano weep profusely, I couldn’t hold my tears either, I can’t start to imagine what he’s been through all his life,

He dedicated his life to raising his son, he never remarried the most precious father award should go to him,

“You know until a few seconds ago I hated the way you controlled Dominic’s life, but after hearing your side of the story, I can’t help but say you’re the best father in the whole world,” I said in tears breaking down

”I just wish my son would wake up and forgive me”

“Father…?” we heard a voice and looked down to see Dominic staring at us with weak eyes…..

“Son….!” His father jumped in excitement hugging him so tight while I stood watching the sweet reconciliation between father and son”

“I’m sorry son I didn’t mean to cause you so much pain” Mr Marciano cried hugging Dominic so tight

“I’m sorry Father, I didn’t know you had to pass through all of that just to make sure I was okay, I’m so sorry Father”

I couldn’t help my tears as I let them flow.
