The Day I Divorced, I Became a Billionaire

On a certain level, I wanted to thank Felicya even though she is the third person who intervened between me and Zayn. But if it were not for her, I would not have bought a lottery ticket.

I would not have been favored by fate. I won a jackpot of nearly fourteen million dollars when I was going through a divorce and I would still have eleven million dollars in my hand after paying taxes.

That day, I was seeing a doctor because I had not been pregnant for eight years after marriage, so I had to go to the hospital alone to see a doctor and get medicine.

When I was taking the subway home with a bag of medicine, I received a WhatsApp message from Felicya, a B-ultrasound image. [It's Zayn's child.]

The world collapsed in that moment and I could not help crying in the subway. The passengers around me did not know what had happened and they all cast strange looks at me.

After getting out of the subway, I threw the bag of medicine into the trash can in a daze. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily and I hid in front of a welfare lottery store to avoid the rain.

The store owner was a good man. Seeing that I was in a daze and soaked by the rain, he asked me to come into the store to keep warm.

When the rain stopped, I bought a lottery ticket worth four dollars to express my gratitude.

"Is it random?" the owner asked.

"Yes."

After all the arguments and arguments with Felicya and Zayn, I no longer recounted them. When the arguments left me in despair, I accidentally pulled out these three lottery tickets. After checking it out, I actually won fifteen first prizes, close to fourteen million dollars!

Fourteen million dollars had completely healed my sadness.

From that day on, I began planning how to achieve a perfect divorce without Zayn's knowledge.

I also did not hate Felicya at all anymore.

It was marvelous to have money.

In addition to spending two million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars on the house, I purchased four storefronts for investment. I used the remaining money to buy stocks, funds, bonds and bank deposits, which is enough for me to spend in three lifetimes. In total, there were still several hundreds of thousands left in my hand.

I went shopping in the mall and bought all those expensive bags, clothes and jewelry that I usually would not dare to look at. Moreover, I set up a room specifically for it as my dressing room.

When the manager of the store saw that I spent nearly one hundred forty thousand dollars at one time, he immediately treated me as a VIP costumer. Not only did he provide pick-up and drop-off services, he also prepared a special lounge for me, with professional staff serving me alone throughout the entire process.

I did not tell anyone about winning the lottery, including my father and brother.

After two months of having fun, I decided to start working again.

I graduated from Hampshire University with a major in education. After marrying Zayn, I resigned from school and became a full-time housewife.

After marriage, I was always criticized and despised by my mother-in-law for not having children. That was why I had been taking medicine and seeing a doctor over the years.

At that time, I still had love for Zayn.

Now, there was no pressure to have children and I felt free and happy.

In just two days, I got a job as a clerk in a media company. There was no performance appraisal, no business pressure and almost no overtime on weekends and holidays.

Perhaps because I was not too picky and often treated them to meals and coffee, so my colleagues liked me a lot.

In less than a month, I became part of their group where I often spent break time and lunch with them.

Amy was the secretary of the chairman of the media company. She was beautiful and had a good figure. Every time she had lunch, she always shared a large portion with me. She only ate a small portion. Later, we decided to share a meal together. Sometimes she treated me, sometimes I treated her.

One weekend, Amy fell ill and asked me to help find Allen Lincoln to sign an urgent document.

"You can go directly to his house and I'll give you the password to open the door. Mr. Lincoln often wears headphones and can't hear the doorbell. Thank you, Brie. I'll treat you tomorrow's dinner."

"It's okay, I'm free anyway. Take good care of yourself."
