After My Husband Died, The Mistress Had A Baby To Fight For The Inheritance
Chapter 2
After Rita left, I was so angry that I smashed everything on the table. Until today, I had always believed that Leo loved me and that I had the happiest family. Today, that dream was shattered.
If Rita hadn't shown up with the baby, I would never have known that Leo had already betrayed me and our family.
I met Leo in college. He studied business, and I studied law.
After graduation, he wanted to start his own business, so I gave up my dreams to support him from the ground up.
His family wasn't well-off, so I borrowed money from my parents to fund his startup.
Five years later, we got married.
As the company grew, he became busier and busier.
After we had our daughter, he asked me to become a full-time housewife.
Over the years, I devoted myself entirely to our daughter and never doubted him, out of trust.
Looking back now, the signs were there.
Over the past two years, he had more and more social engagements, and when he came home, he would fall asleep immediately.
Even if I had wanted a second child, I wouldn't have had the chance.
He had given all his time to the woman outside.
I called the bank and requested his financial records for the past two years.
What I found was shocking.
Every month, he had a fixed expenditure of 100,000 dollars, along with records of large purchases—undoubtedly for that mistress.
Thinking back on how heartbroken I was after his death, I now found it all laughable.
In a way, I should thank Rita. If she hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark, mourning his loss and living in a daze.
Now I was wide awake.
I wasn't alone. I had my daughter.
A worthless man wasn't worth my tears or my life.
I didn't hesitate to clear out his belongings. I had kept them as mementos after his death, but now I saw no need.
Even giving them away felt like bad luck.
I made several trips and threw everything of his into the trash.
Since Rita had the nerve to create a child, she surely wouldn't give up easily.
