Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

With a sigh of resignation, I boarded another taxi and headed for the Torres mansion. I knew it was where Grandma Doris would be. The mansion was more her own than Rose's.

But since Grandma Doris was barely around, her vivacious nature would not allow her stay stuck in a place, she didn't allow her age or responsibilities to clip her wings, the mansion was solely left in Rose's care since Mark didn't stay at the mansion, leaving Rose the opportunity to wad around the place bullying and commanding others her best traits.

As I entered the compound of the Torres mansion, right in the garage of the mansion was the car I left at Milli bar yesterday. It was probably driven over by Mark Good, then I can just go with it when I'm leaving here.

My mind was still occupied with the prospect of seeing Grandma and what she might have to say when I was pulled out of my thoughts by Grandma's shrill voice.

"Sydney!" Her voice might be weak but her body definitely wasn't. I watched, a mixture of happiness and admiration coursing through me, as Doris leapt out of the entrance of the mansion and ran towards me. her arms outstretched. Fir an old woman she sure was physically fit.

Mark emerged behind her, his face looked gloomy and his hands were dipped in his pocket as he nodded at my presence. Rose was by her side, her usual scowl on display and she directed a sneer my way. I met Doris halfway and she pulled me into a tight hug. "My daughter in law," she murmured softly and endearingly. "My God, I've missed you."

I closed my eyes and let her warmth seep into me. I sighed contentedly. Since I found my parents and got introduced to both worlds, Grandma Doris was the only one who had shown me something akin to love- a motherly love.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I miss you too," I whispered and allowed my arm to go around her small frame and hug her back.

"Long time no see, Grandma," I said when we pulled apart. My eyes skimmed her face and I could tell how happy she was, her face held that tanned glow and she looked even learned and experienced than she did when she left. "I almost thought you were never coming back again."

Her body shook as she chuckled at my words. "Trust me, Sydney, it was tempting but if I didn't, who would look after my grandson that has refused to grow?"

I giggled. "I know, right? It would be sad if he went astray because his Grandma wasn't around."

Much to Rose's disdain, Doris and I burst out laughing. From my peripheral vision, I saw her roll her eyes then she turned on her heels and strutted back inside. It was glaring that she didn't like the relationship between Doris and I more than she liked the one I was in with her son.

"Come on, let's go in, she gave me a pat on my forearm and I followed her in. I made sure to show Mark my displeasure with a glare as I passed by him. I could feel the bleak heat emanating off him as he silently walked behind us.

"Gosh, you look tired," Grandma commented when we took our seats in the grand living room. She smiled at the servants and ordered them to bring us orange juice. Then she turned to me, 'Tell me, did anyone try to mistreat you while I was gone? Who is it? Tell me so I can teach them a lesson they'd never forget." Her tone sounded light and humorous but the expression on her face said otherwise; it was a

expression that looked like she would actually get in a fight if she had to.

Well, where do I start from?

There's Mark, for one. There's Doris, Joel and Sandra. There's Bella. Just to mention a few. It would give me intense joy to see her deal with them and make them regret what they did to me and Grace. But instead of listing those names for her and going ahead to weep at her feet how they've all been wicked to me, I simply smiled at the gnawing concern in her eyes. "Grandma, I'm fine."

She turned her gaze to Mark who sat opposite from her, one leg regally propped on the other. Rose was perched beside him, a permanent scowl on her face. She glared at him, "Are you sure?"
