His Lover Was Back

"You won't have to worry about your life in the future. I will give you a house and five million dollars as a compensation fee for wasting your youth," he pushed another document towards her. 

Ria turned to him, forcing herself to smile. Compensation fee? So that's what he actually thought of their marriage. Wasting her youth? He called it as wasting her youth!? She devoted herself to him and this family yet all she got in return was heartaches and pains. She clutched the pen so tight that it almost snapped in her grip. 

She stared at the papers for some time. Wyatt was getting impatient by every second. Just as he was about to push her to do it faster, his assistant rushed in with news. 

"Sir, she's here, waiting for you to pick her up. I think she is jetlagged," the assistant looked anxious. 

"Okay. Let's hurry. I don't want her to feel terrible after her long flight," Wyatt rushed out of the room, leaving Ria alone. He was very worried for Hailee. Hailee has always been weak since young. 

Her hands trembled but she took a deep breath, inhaling and exhaling before she firmly signed her name. It was done. She left the papers on the table and went to pack her clothes and leave. 

Since her husband had decided to divorce her and bring home his lover, she figured that she should leave. She would only be an eyesore and an embarrassment to the Earlson family. From the moment the ink touched the divorce papers, her life had changed. She was no longer part of this family. 

Soon, her husband returned. By then she had already packed her luggage finished. She saw him approached her. 

"Hailee is here. You can stay for the night and leave tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll drop you off to the new house under your name," 

If this was five years ago, Ria would have bursted with joy seeing how he cared for her. But now, she knew that he just wanted her out of his sight. He probably pitied her. 

"Fine. I rather leave now. After the divorce procedures are finalize, tell your grandfather that it was I who asked for it," she said, making things easy for him. She didn't plan to stay for the night. 

Even as she left, she still wished him the best and helped him for one last time so that he could find happiness with the woman he loved. His grandfather was sure to question the divorce. 

She walked out of the room, pulling her heavy luggage while Wyatt went to prepare a cozy room for Hailee. It started to rain heavily as she made her way down the stairs. She looked at the sky and then at the luggage. Once she finished packing, she carried it down the stairs. The maids and servants watched Ria as she dragged the heavy luggage down many flights of stairs. No one offered to help her or make a move. 

Ria was used to this so she never expected them to help her with her luggage. As long as husband was not around, they would treat her like trash. Even the two women who were currently seated on the sofa would also humilate and treat her harshly. 

"Look who's here," a taunting tone greeted her when she finally got her luggage down. Ria only smiled weakly, knowing what these two women had in store for her. Her mother in law casted a condescending gaze at Ria. 

"Are you planning on running away? To voice out your grievances? To grandpa?" The second woman, Ally said. She was Wyatt's older sister. 

"Don't think just because that old man choose you as Wyatt's wife means I'll treat you with respect. You did nothing for this family but only brought shame. You are a lowly girl from the countryside. I wonder what that old man was thinking when he had my son married to you!" Her mother in law said, her tone laced with disgust for this woman who was no differently than a street rat in her eyes. 

"I'm leaving this family. The divorce agreement is already signed," she said calmly. 

Ria did not want to argue with these two scheming women anymore. Her patience had worn out, so there was no need to bear with the humiliation they gave her from time to time. 

Their eyes brightened when they heard these words. Really? This woman was finally getting divorce by her son? What a smart decision her son made! Gloria rejoiced. She had never agreed to letting this bitch marry her son. She was forced to comply with that old man's arrangements. Finally! 

Ria saw the two women's extremely happy expressions and recalled the humiliation she had suffered in the Earlson family for the past five years. 

If she had not fallen in love with Wyatt Earlson, she wouldn't have had to compromise and swallow her pride for so many years. She wouldn't have argued with her brother and left her family. 

At this moment, everything was over. She 

no longer had to endure her mother-in-law's harsh treatment and sister in law's schemes. Her life in the Earlson family wasn't smooth. 

However, it was impossible for Ria

to just leave silently. These two women didn't let her go until they were satisfied with making her life miserable. 

"Where are you going at this hour? Don't you want to stay for dinner? I heard that Hailee Adams is back. Don't you want to meet the woman who will replace you?" Ally raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow at Ria, her eyes filled with disdain. 

Ria turned to Ally, a sharp look her on face. Ally raised an eyebrow at her, challenging her to talk back. Then she'll be able to have an excuse to punish her for being disobedient. Ria approached her and dropped her luggage near her feet with a loud thud! 

"Back then, I was crazy to have endured all of the humiliation, but now, I've had 

enough. I'll make you pay for your misdeeds, sooner or later. I swear,"

Then she turned on her heels before they could rebuke her. Ally stood there, frozen with shock. Did Ria just threatened her? She looked down at the luggage and blinked, coming back to her senses. 

The heavy luggage almost got Ally's feet if Ria really wanted to injure her feet. 

"Bitch! Are you crazy!?" Ally cursed.
