Hidden Heiress Strikes Back

Emma

What Jasper didn't know was that I came from a wealthy family-one of the richest families in the entire city. In fact, I was an heiress to a great fortune, but I had abandoned this legacy of mine in order to marry Jasper. Since my grandma did not want me to marry him, but I gave up everything, all for the love of him...

I had disappointed my family and my grandma, and I had pretended to be a simple girl with no family to marry him in the name of the love I felt for him, thinking that I would be happy with him, but I only suffered because he never loved me and never respected me, but today was the day to put an end to this story.

It didn't take long for Oliver, my friend, to park a limousine in front of the Parrish mansion, the car had such an eye-catching presence that the Parrish came out of the house to see what was going on.

"What is this here? Who is he, Emma?" Jasper asked me, looking intrigued as Oliver was carrying my bags to the limo.

I chuckled sternly. "You don't need to know that," I replied, heading towards the car, but he grabbed my elbow tightly and pulled me towards him, making me look at him. "Let go of me!" I commanded.

"You were married to me for three years, and I never saw you with that man. Who the fuck is he? Is he by any chance a lover of yours?" He demanded to know.

"What is it, Jasper? Are you already jealous? Too bad for you then, because you've already lost me," I teased.

"Stop your games, Emma," he hissed at me, angry.

"Do you need help, Emma?" Oliver asked, being ready to protect me because, besides being my great friend, he was also my bodyguard. I've known him since I was just a child, but I ran away from my old life all for the love of Jasper. "Is he bothering you by any chance?"

"And who the fuck do you think you are to get involved in this, you son of a bitch?" Jasper raised his voice at him.

I saw Oliver narrowing his eyes threateningly, he was even ready to murder my ex-husband, that bastard. But I didn't want Jasper to die, at least not now, he deserved to suffer a lot first.

Then I raised my hand, containing my bodyguard. "It's okay, Oliver. I'll handle it," I told him, seeing him hold back, but he was still growling lowly and threateningly. I looked at Jasper again as if he were nothing to me. "Since you keep a mistress, does that give you the right to think that everyone is a cheater just like you? I feel sorry for you and that stupid brain of yours, Jasper." I pulled my arm away from him. "You have already divorced me. What more do you want?"

"You owe me respect! I gave you a home all this time, you bitch. Do you think you're just going to leave like that while you owe me everything you have?" He shouted at me. His jaw was locked.

"Don't make me laugh, Jasper. The least you gave me was nothing more than your duties towards me, and on top of that, you made me work for free, not only taking care of this damn house but also your mother, and on top of that, working for free for you in your company!" I exposed.

"You're complaining about a full belly, you ungrateful one. Give back everything I gave you!" He demanded.

"What are you talking about? This here?" I pulled out the suitcase, opening it right there, taking the clothes and throwing them in his face. "Then take back all those mediocre clothes you bought for your maid!" 

"How ridiculous!" Kaylie Abbott laughed, enjoying seeing me humiliated.

Jasper reached out to me. "The jewelry and clothes you're wearing belong to me too, bitch," he demanded.

"Oh, I'll give them to you with great pleasure, you scumbag," I replied with an ironic tone. I took off the pair of cheap jewelry I was wearing and threw it to him. I took off my clothes and shoes, not caring about just stripping down to my underwear right there on the street, even with the neighbors watching. And finally, I took off the ring that was on my finger-the ring that he once placed there with promises to never take off. Today, I was throwing it in his face-never again. "Now are you satisfied, Jasper? Now can I leave?" 

Oliver approached me, covering my body with his coat, and took me away, opening the limo door for me and taking me away from that horrible place.

"So it was for this bastard that you wanted to abandon everything?" He commented while we were in the car.

I just sighed, watching the Parrish mansion slowly move away, Jasper hugging his new wife, and his mother celebrating. "Sometimes we end up making bad decisions in the name of love," I replied wistfully, remembering all the sacrifices I made to please him, all the things I didn't mind going through because I wanted him to stay with me, but in the end everything had come to nothing; I had only gained sadness and a broken heart.

I needed to take care of myself. I needed to hold my head up and fight for myself. "But that's over now, Oliver. I'm putting this behind me," I told him with firmness in my voice. 

I wasn't going to cry anymore.
