You Lost More Than a Wife

WebNovel 1 Chapters English

At my third wedding anniversary party with Oscar Ashford, his assistant, Sloane, deliberately shoved our anniversary cake into my expensive custom gown. I slapped her. Then I grabbed a handful of the ruined cake and smeared it right back across her face. That night, on a massive screen at the family's charity gala, a live feed of him and Sloane kissing passionately in a backstage corner flashed across the screen. My mother had a heart attack watching it. She died without ever waking up. And while I was kneeling on the cold hospital floor, he was in Sloane's apartment, calming her down with a shopping spree—on our joint account. He came home reeking of alcohol, striding past my disheveled state to order me to the seaside estate to care for Sloane. She’d been frightened, he claimed, and needed to rest for the sake of his unborn child. He seized my chin, his voice dropping to a low threat, warning me that if anything happened to his only heir, he would make my life a living hell. After he left, I retrieved the divorce papers my lawyer had drafted from the safe in my art studio. Lying next to them was my ultrasound. I stared at the blurry, black-and-white image. Oscar, I thought, my heart a stone, in three days, you’re going to find out you lost more than just a wife.
