Chapter 1Unwanted Wife

"My  sister  needs  your  blood,  Lilibeth.  Hurry  here  now,  we're  in  the  hospital,"  came  my  husband,  Jason's  pained  voice  over  the  phone. 

Tapping  my  feet  anxiously,  I  craned  my  neck  as  I  tried  to  look  over  the  other  passengers  on  the  bus.  I  could  see  the  bright  red  lights  of  the  cars  in  front  of  us,  the  traffic  was  not  moving.

"I'm  on  the  way.  But  there's  a  traffic  jam,  and  I'm  stuck  here  since  you  wouldn't  let  me  take  the  car."  I  bit  my  lower  lip  as  I  spoke,  I  was  never  sure  how  he  would  react.  I  never  truly  understood  why  he  insisted  I  commute  everywhere  when  I  could  buy  my  own  car.

More  than  once  I  had  offered  to  buy  my  own  car.  But  he  said  I  was  making  him  seem  like  an  inadequate  husband. 

"Excuses!  All  I  hear  are  excuses!"  His  voice  rose,  making  me  flinch.  "Are  you  truly  so  heartless?!"

I  knew  what  would  come  next—his  rage,  his  anger,  his  disappointment.

"This  isn't  something  I  can  control,  Jason,"  I  pleaded.  But  no  matter  how  many  times  I  reminded  him,  the  answer  was  always  the  same. 

"She's  terminally  ill!  She's  my  sister,  your  sister-in-law.  Do  you  even  care  at  all?"

"I've  given  her  so  much,  Jason!  How  could  you  say  that  I  don't  care?!"  People  turned  to  look  my  way,  making  me  blush  in  embarassment. 

Over  the  years,  since  we've  been  married,  I  had  donated  to  so  much  blood  to  his  sister.  I  even  donated  my  bone  marrow  to  save  her  life.  Still,  he  accused  me  of  not  caring. 

I  wasn't  supposed  to  react  like  this.  But  I  had  given  myself  to  his  family.  I,  threw  away  everything  for  him. 

I  knew  it  wasn't  right  to  behave  this  way.  I  loved  Jason  so  much  I  offered  my  help  selflessly. 

Loved,  yes.

I  used  to  love  him.  But  now,  not  anymore. 

"Just  get  here  now,"  He  demanded. 

"Lilibeth,  you  bitch,"  I  heard  him  mutter  under  his  breath. 

"No,  I  don't  think  so."  I  was  stunned  when  the  words  left  my  lips,  but  there  was  no  taking  it  back  now.

I  don't  know  what  pushed  me  to  say  that,  but  I  didn't  regret  it—not  really.

"W–W–What  did  you  just  say?"  He  stumbled  over  his  words,  stunned  by  my  sudden  declaration.

Gone  was  the  meek  woman  whom  he  had  married  all  those  years  ago,  I  think  it's  about  time  I  stopped  pretending  to  be  someone  I'm  not.

"We're  over,  Jason." 

It  was  now  or  never. 

"I'm  moving  out,  and  I  want  a  divorce."

"Have  you  fucking  lost  your  mind?"  He  was  furious,  clearly.  "Where  would  you  even  go?  You  were  so  poor  that  your  family  didn't  even  bother  showing  up  at  our  wedding!"

That  wasn't  exactly  true. 

My  family  hadn't  come  because  of  a  bet  I  had  made  with  them—one  that  I  was  about  to  lose.

"That's  none  of  your  concern,"  I  said  flatly.  I  had  my  own  money  and  means,  even  without  my  family's  help. 

"Is  that  why  you  married  me,  Lilibeth?  For  my  money?"  he  questioned.  "I  won't  give  you  anything  if  you  leave  me."

"I  don't  need  anything  from  you,  Jason.  Goodbye."

I  immediately  dropped  the  call,  knowing  that  he  would  demand  more  from  me.  Emotional  blackmail  was  his  favorite  weapon,  but  I  wouldn't  let  my  fragile  heart  be  abused  that  way  anymore.

I  quickly  got  off  at  the  next  stop  and  took  a  moment  to  center  myself.

Closing  my  eyes,  I  took  a  deep  breath  to  calm  the  raging  emotions  I  felt. 

When  I  was  finally  calm  and  settled,  I  took  out  my  other  phone,  the  emergency  lifeline  that  I  gave  myself  in  case  I  needed  to  contact  people  from  my  past  life,  and  dialed  my  favorite  cousin's  number.

I  hadn't  contacted  him  since  I  got  married,  all  part  of  my  agreement  with  my  grandfather,  he  would  probably  be  shocked  and  disappointed  to  see  my  call. 

"Well,  this  is  a  call  I  didn't  want  to  get,"  my  cousin's  deep  voice  had  my  chest  practically  bursting  with  relief.  I  missed  him,  I  missed  all  of  them.  "I'm  guessing  Grandpa  won  this  bet,  it  hasn't  been  five  years."

"No,  it's  only  been  three,"  I  admitted.

"Of  course,  I  knew  that,"  he  said,  nonchalantly. 

"I'm  not  bothering  you,  am  I?"  I  asked.

"No,  just  catching  up  with  an  old  friend,  so  what  can  I  do  for  you,  Lilith?"  he  drew  out  my  name,  as  if  he  wanted  whoever  was  with  him  to  know  it  was  I  he  spoke  to. 

"I  need  someone  to  pick  me  up,  can  you  send  me  a  car?  Or  maybe…"  I  hesitated.

I  was  fairly  certain  that  our  Grandfather  had  my  cousin  working  in  the  company  now  and  that  meant  he  was  extremely  busy.

"Maybe  I  could  pick  you  up?"  he  asked,  completing  my  statement  for  me.

"Yes,"  I  made  sure  to  keep  my  voice  steady. 

"Sure,  I  hope  you  don't  mind  if  my  friend  tags  along?"  I  couldn't  help  but  wonder.  Who  was  this  friend  he  was  with?  I  was  curious  to  know.

There  were  very  few  people  that  Lexington  would  trust  enough  to  bring  along,  and  I  doubted  any  of  them  would  want  to  see  me  again  after  what  I  did.

"Is  it  someone  I  know?"  I  asked.  I  was  probably  the  best-kept  secret  in  my  family,  I  had  left  before  my  grandfather  could  introduce  me  publicly  and  I  was  never  mentioned,  as  part  of  my  protection.

"Oh  yes,  someone  you  trust,"  his  tone  made  me  even  more  curious,  he  was  teasing  and  playful,  a  side  I  knew  he  rarely  let  others  see. 

"Alright,  I  trust  you.  I'll  send  you  the  address,"  I  told  my  cousin.  "Come  in  an  hour,  I'll  be  ready  to  go."

"Perfect,"  he  said  over  the  phone.  "Welcome  back  cousin,  the  Durfort  family  will  be  glad  to  have  you  back."

"I  think  so  am  I,"  I  said  as  a  smile  crept  over  my  lips,  it  was  the  first  genuine  smile  in  a  really  long  time.  "Thank  you,  Lexington."

"Anything  for  you,  cousin,"  with  those  parting  words  I  ended  the  call.

I  needed  to  get  back  to  my  husband's  family  home  before  he  told  his  mother  and  father  what  I  had  said  and  done.

They  hated  me.  They  thought  I  was  some  poor  gold  digger  who  wanted  to  use  their  son  to  get  out  of  poverty.

I  couldn't  help  but  scoff  at  the  thought.  What  kind  of  person  tried  to  get  ahead  in  life  by  marrying  a  lowly  employee,  especially  a  Durfort  like  me?
