Aubrey's POV

After I left Shawnie's house, I was on my way to the airport and I got on the phone to call an emergency meeting. I needed everyone to meet me at my house in one hour. I don't know what she was planning but after that fiasco at her house I knew it was some shit. She let that motherfucker hit me. She ORDERED him to hit me. I don't care what she says, she told him to do it.

I don't know her anymore. First she made him attack me, then she got caught kissing him and acted like she didn't even care that I caught her, and then, she called the police on me. Me? There are pictures of me in handcuffs and sitting in the back of a squad car. After she told them she didn't want me arrested for trespassing, and to just file a police report, they finally took the handcuffs off of me. How embarrassing. I was livid. I couldn't even say anything, I just left the property.

I took the short flight from San Diego home and when I got off of my flight and looked at my phone. I could not believe what I was reading. I almost fell to the ground. She's got to be kidding me. This can't be real. Shawnie has never been about money. Ever. Now all of a sudden she's asking for $100 million? I was a little confused. It just wasn't making any sense to me.

Oliver was waiting in the vehicle that was going to take me to the house. He wanted to brief me on what was going on before I walked into my meeting.

"Do you see the shit?" I ask

"Yeah..." he says

"She's not serious, right?"

"Nah, I think she is my guy." Oli says looking down at his phone. "We told you to make her sign the prenup."

"I know but I didn't think I would need it with her. She don't care about shit like that. That's why I liked her. She didn't care about who I was." I say

"Look, I know that's true, but did you forget how you practically begged her to spin money. You put her in this lifestyle, gave her millions and you think she's not going to change? Bro, you did this. You created this...monster. You know it."

I just sink into my seat. "I know...." I can't do anything but look out the window and just feel sorry for myself. He's right.

"You took pride in giving her whatever she wanted. You bragged about her being too expensive for other guys. You wanted her this way. And we all thought you were crazy for getting that Tiffany yellow diamond. Only elite could wear that shit and you got it for her. She ain't nobody. You single-handedly created all of this. You feed her and now she's biting your hand." He says

I didn't have any words. I couldn't say anything.

After he realized I was too pissed off to talk, he just kept talking to me anyway. He told me that she was asking for $100 million. I couldn't even fathom that it was coming from her. It had to be Mercedes in her ear. Then my mind automatically went back to the conversation we had at her house a short time ago when I wouldn't leave. She said file the other papers, meaning there were others. I don't think this is something that she was trying to do. I do believe I pushed her to do this. She told me months ago that she would do this if I didn't cooperate with her. She said she would do everything in her power to embarrass me and I don't wanna say this was part of her plan, but like I said, I pushed her to this point.

She wants my hockey team. She helped me get that deal but she's not entitled to that. That wasn't something that was acquired while we were married, and now she's trying to take it away from me because I'm not giving her what she wants. I've started a lot of things since we've been married and those are things that she is entitled to. I'm not giving up my hockey team. I have waaay too much money coming in from that. I will give her things she feels she deserves, but that is something I'm not willing to give up and she's gonna have to fight me on this one.

When Oliver told me that she was asking for my Hidden Hills house, I kind of lost it a little bit because that was something I purchased and I was proud of. I've had this house way longer than I've even known her and she has the audacity to put it in the divorce documents? She's lost her fucking mind. I will buy her a house before I give up my Hidden Hills house, the Yolo Estate? She's fucking crazy.

Then I go onto Instagram and I see she posted that I want to work things out and a picture with her holding up two middle fingers. Basically saying fuck me. Fuck me? She hasn't posted on instagram in months and this is what she decided to post? I go to her page and I see she actually has posted. Talking about freedom and a picture of my foyer. How did I miss this? Oh, she's really trippin.

When we got back to my house, I was livid. After hearing all the details and everything she's asking for I was confused as to who the person was that I married. The person that I know wouldn't do this or even come for anything that I have, that she didn't work for. Don't get me wrong, Oli was right, I've always wanted her to embrace my lifestyle and fall into things how I felt she should. She was my wife. Of course I wanted her to embellish a bit, but that was only because I loved her. I wanted to give her everything.

I didn't want it to be like this. I didn't want to feel the feelings that I was having towards her. She did this because she knew it would get to me and hurt me. I also believe she did this because she knows I'm going to give it to her. I married her with no prenup, because I felt in my heart that our love was real. It was real. I'm not denying that. I didn't think we would ever get divorced. I thought she would stay with me and by my side through all of my shit. Let's face it, I've already given her a lot of shit to deal with and she dealt with it just fine. She got rid of my bitches without me even knowing. I liked that shit. She took care of that shit. She took care of business. I thought she was gonna be with me forever.

I just don't know how to feel about this shit.

Oliver and I walk into my conference room, and I see Amanda, Billy, Craig, and there's a woman I've never seen before.

"Alright." Billy says. "I just want to start by saying I don't believe she's behind this. I don't believe it for one second. She was talked into this. I don't know who but we're gonna get to the bottom of it."

Now I don't feel so bad about being in denial because it doesn't seem like this is something that she would do. Billy just confirmed it for me.

"I don't think she would either." I say

"I told you you needed to make her sign a prenup and this is exactly why. She wants $100 million from you." Craig says, "This is crazy."

"First things first, Mr. Graham, this is Linda Wilder. She's your divorce attorney."

"Wait, y'all already got me a divorce attorney? This shit was just filed an hour ago." I say

"I understand this news is a surprise for you, it's a surprise for all of us. But we have to move fast because we don't wanna be blindsided by anything else." Billy says

"You didn't make her sign a prenup. Every last thing that she's asking for, she can get." Craig says. "That's not including all the documents you made her sign, giving her easy income. You fucked yourself with this one."

"Hold on!" Billy says, "She is reasonable. I think if we hold a meeting and talk to her, she'll back down. She's pissed off at him, not me. We've always had a good relationship. We've always done business together. I may be able to talk her out of this."

"I don't think so. This was her plan from the beginning and he fucked himself. I told you you should've made her sign a prenup and you didn't wanna do it. You are going to lose a huge chunk of your finances with this." Craig says

"Is this true?" I ask Linda.

"Yes. If you would like to have a conversation with her, we can do mediation and we can try to get this worked out in a civil manner. If she refuses to work with us, we will have to take this to court. We can try to fight this." She says

Hearing her confirm, everything just sent me into a rage. I stood up, picked my chair up and threw it, and then I flipped the conference table over. I was so pissed off at her. I don't think I've ever been this angry with her. I know she's doing this shit to hurt me, and just like she said, she's doing this to embarrass me. I worked so hard to make sure that our shit stayed out of the media and I did a damn good job of doing that, and then she turns around and flushes all of that down the drain by filing for divorce, not giving me the heads up about it and the media has found out about this and this shit is just fucking crazy.

I look over at Amanda and she's just looking at me.

"You could've stopped this. I know they gave you ample time to block the story."

"No, they didn't. I didn't have any clue this was happening. Between you getting arrested, and trying to get ahead of that, I couldn't." Amanda says almost in a panic.

I walked up to her and I got in her face. "By Wednesday, I want you to release the photos and videos that I have on her. You're going to tell them she was cheating on me the whole time we were together with Chris Brown. You're also going to run the story about her and her bodyguard Joe and her stupid college lover, Christian Middlebrooks."

"But we all know none of that is true. Your private investigator confirmed that." She says

"Run it." I say

"But—."

"RUN THE STORY!" I yell

"Okay..."

"Now get out!" I say and she hurries out of the room.

"You need to calm down." Oliver says

I pick up a chair and I take a seat. I sat there for a couple of minutes trying to calm myself down. I'm beyond livid.

"I think we all need to take a break and come back because we have to discuss what our next steps are." Billy says

I don't say anything, I just continue to process my emotions and thoughts. I look over at Linda, who looks terrified at the moment. This lady probably never saw a black man act this way in front of her. I need to chill out. I turn to her and I calmly talk to her.

"Is she really entitled to everything?" I ask

"There's no prenuptial agreement. So yes, she is. You can fight to keep this house, and anything that was purchased, or any business deals that were made before your marriage. You guys have only been married for a little over a year. She's not entitled to that much, only money."

"Do you think I should fight this?" I ask

"I think you should fight for things that are not owed to her, referring to the hockey team and your home. I think the private jet is feasible because it is a security breach, so I think you should get her the plane, it doesn't have to be an expensive one. I think she's being very reasonable with custody of your son. I think if you wanna fight for your home, you should. If you're here often enough. From my understanding, you're based out of Toronto. I understand the house was purchased before you knew her but she did sell her residence here to move in with you in Toronto." She says

"So you're saying I should give her my house?"

"I'm not saying you should give her your house, I'm saying that there's factors that you have to consider to come up with the answer to that. Does she have a home here?"

"She moved to San Diego. She was living here, but she wanted to get away from me so she rented a hotel."

"I can only imagine how much money was going out." She says

"Yeah, but I didn't care about that. So she went to put some distance between us and bought a house in San Diego."

"Do you think if you leave California she will come back up here?"

"Yes. All of her friends live up here and her daughter's father lives a few minutes away."

"Okay. There's more things to consider. If you can honestly say you're here more than half of the year, then you should fight for your home, but if you're not, why bother? The cars that are here, do you really drive them?"

"No." I answer

"Exactly my point. She's not going to drive them either. If you two can sit down and come to an agreement and maybe sell the cars or maybe she'll even tell you you can keep them. I think you guys should have a conversation. Now about the hockey team, I think if you want to keep your hockey team, you fight for it, but is it something that you've really put a lot of time into?"

"No. I have people for that." I say

"I don't think she should get the hockey team. I say that because she doesn't live in Toronto to do business with the company. I understand she was part of the legal team who handled that file but she's not entitled. I think what should happen is if you decide to give up your home then she should let you keep the team because that's where you live."

"I made her quit her career and I moved her up to Canada with me. I know she's not entitled to that, but that would give her a steady income."

"I like how you're thinking, and that's nice of you to think that, but how do you know she's not gonna sell?" She sold

"I don't know."

"Has she ever shown any interest in that?"

"No." I say. "I know she likes hockey and she's asked to go with me to a few of the meetings. Might've gone to a game or two but she's never shown any other interest other than that." I say

"Don't make any decisions right now. Take a couple of days to think about it. I will acknowledge and review. I'll get on the phone with her lawyers and try to set up a meeting. Do not contact her until then. If you need to talk about your son, see if you can communicate through your parents, or a mutual party. Just until I can get them on the phone. Don't post on social media about this either."

I sat there for a few seconds thinking. Even though this is gonna be a hit for me, it's not like it's gonna hurt me.

".........Just give her what she wants."

"What?" Linda and Craig say in unison.

"Give her what she wants and anything she's entitled to. She's entitled to all business deals that were made, and created while we were married, give it to her. I fully want to fight her about this."

"That's half of ALL business handled over the last 15 months. The production deals, management, Netflix, streams, the renegotiated music contract, retail sales, Sirius, the basketball team, Shall I go on?" Billy says

"I know, Billy..."

"I know you love her, but you can't be serious about this." Billy says

"I am. If she's entitled to half, give her half of the finances for all businesses. It's hers."

"House included?" Linda asks

"Everything." I say

"We need to talk this through. You can't just give her everything she's asking for." Craig says

"I can and I did."

"Take some time before you make any decisions." Linda says

"He's not gonna change his mind." Oliver says. "We can take the time to respond, but he's not gonna change his mind."

I just look at Oli. He knows what I'm thinking.

"Giving her what she wants is not gonna bring her back. She's been trying to end things with you for a while and you just refuse to believe your relationship is over. She's gonna follow through with this." He says

"No. I know my relationship is over. I put her through a lot and if she's entitled to it, then just give it to her."

"So you're going to give her everything she wants but you're hurt so you're going to hurt her in the process?" He asks

"I still don't think she's behind listing all of these things. I think she has someone in her ear, and I think it's her cousin. I don't know who else is in on this, but I know she's doing this to hurt me. I don't want to fight this in court. I don't want to drag this out. She's been saying she wants a clean break from me so before shit gets worse than it is, I'm just gonna give her what she wants. I'll deal with the rest of it." I say. "Pay for everything. Attorney and court fees for both of us just give her what she wants so this can be done with."

"You should've just signed the papers." He says

"I KNOW THAT!!" I yell.

"Are you still taking a break?" Billy asks

"Oh yeah! The break is much needed right now." I say. "I have to ride this out. And no appearances" I say to Oliver.

"I definitely feel that he should lay low for a while. Maybe record an album in the process so when he does make his way back, he can come back on business." Oli says.

"Yeah.. we'll see. I think I'm just gonna take a vacation and relax. No business, no nothing. I don't even wanna be seen in public until this is blown over." I say as I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out and unlocked it, then I heard Oli speak.

"Shit!" He says

"What. The. Fuck!" I say looking at the Hollywood Unlocked pictures. "What the entire fuck! She's with Odell in Vegas?" I show Oliver my phone.

"I'm looking at it." He looks back at his phone.

"Aw she's fucking with me." I say pissed off. "She filed for divorce and then went to Vegas? With my boy? What the fuck is going on?"

"I didn't know they knew each other." Billy says

"They don't. I introduced them. I didn't know they kept in contact." I say "Wait, I know they didn't keep in touch. She doesn't know him. I've never seen his number and her phone."

"That's some snake shit." Oliver says

"This can't be true." I say. "I would've known about this. I know this wasn't done behind my back..."

But damn is she cheating on me? Oh my god. Please don't tell me she is. I'm not even going to lie, that shit would kill me. I know I've started some shit with Christian and she was pretty consistent and saying that she wasn't cheating with him and for the most part I believe that I just chose to keep fucking with him. With Joe, it's a possibility that she could've been with him, but with that, too, she said nothing was going on. But with Odell, I don't know about this. Something just doesn't feel right and the fact that he and I were cool really doesn't sit well with me. The thought of her being with him actually crushes me. We're not as cool as we used to be but that doesn't make my soon to be ex-wife fair game.

"This is the fourth story from them today. First Misha, what happened at her house, then the divorce, now this? What's up with them?"

"You know what's up with them." I say and look over at Billy. "Slap her with a gag order." I can't have her talking about me."

"But how do you even know she's talking? This is information anyone could've given them. She signed an NDA."

"That's true." Oliver says. "She's not that stupid."

"She did tell me she had ways of getting around that..."

I look back at my phone and at the picture of my wife and supposed friend talking in the Bellagio Casino. I guess I can admit that it's not that bad. It's not like they were cuddling up to each other, they were just talking.

"Fine. But as soon as some bullshit comes out, we're doing it." I say. "AND WHEN I TELL YOU TO DO IT, YOU BETTER DO IT!" I yell, then I get up and leave the conference room.

I'm getting the fuck out of here.

I ran into Chubbs in the hallway. I tell him we're leaving in an hour and to round up the guys.

She ain't gonna be the only one getting out of town and leaving me to deal with the mess.
