A new beginning

********

I felt no pain when they lowered the body of my dead ex husband to the ground.

All I felt in me was rage and hurt from the things he had done to me.

The moment the ceremony was over I was back to the house we both shared and right now his lawyer was set to read his will.

Madam,he said you didn’t need to be here for the hearing.

My heart raced listening to what he had just said,why would he say that?

The door to the mansion opened but without looking in that direction I knew it was her.

That was sound of the heels that had terrified me in my five years of marriage.

What was she doing here?

Layla wore a bold red lipstick and her hair packed in a bum, she didn’t look a mess for someone who had just lost her lover but instead was more beautiful than ever.

My heart tightened against my chest when I saw that she was alone but beside her was a young boy.

From the way he looked, I could tell he was his son, he looked just like him.

My husband had a son with his mistress.

Layla went to sit on the couch pulling the boy with her while staring at me.

“Layla,I called” unable to hold the pain I was feeling at that moment.

“He wanted her to be here” his lawyer cut me off before I could even say anything.

“That is his mistress,I’m his wife” I screamed unable to take the torture anymore.

The lawyer only looked at me like I had gone nuts before settling down to the will in front of him ignoring my outburst.

My four mansions,I leave to the love of my life Layla and my son Miguel.

As for the rest of the business including the club, Layla would also be in charge of that.

As for my wife Daisy,all I give her is my love.

Darling, I know you love me and that is why I have decided to leave you with 100,000 dollars in my trust fund.

100k usd.

That was the only thing he gave me, the woman who has been with him through thick and thin

By the time the lawyer spoke the last words, I was breaking out beads of sweat all over my forehead.

The bastard, he left me with nothing,absolutely nothing.

This is what I get for being the sweet loving and caring wife.

“I told you Daisy,”Laura taunted , holding the boy and standing up with a satisfied smile on her face.

He never loved you , he loved me and had a family with me and as for you,he only wanted you to carry the name

“His wife”.

Her words struck my heart and watching her hold the boy all I could feel was bitterness.

I had been deceived, used,and lied to, this was the same man that I rejected my family for.

I met callum when I turned 18, I was a freshman in college and had an accident and someone he saved me.

I fell for him, for Callum, he was about two years older than me and I thought he was the one.

Somehow when he told me he loved me I fell for it

My parents were against the marriage but clouded with my love for him I quickly turned my back on them and got married to him.

Marriage to him wasn’t as rosy as I thought. It didn't take a month after our marriage that I noticed his affairs with other women.

All the women he had an affair with I knew,but Layla she was constant. She’s the daughter of an ex member of this club and had lost her father at a tender age and had literally grown up with him .

He loved her,not me.

He had a family with her but made me abort the two pregnancies I had for him.

In my five years of being married to him , all I had gone through was the worst abuse emotionally,verbally and physically.

I couldn’t even remember the last time he touched me. That would be in five years.

When he died I was hurt, he was the man I loved regardless of how he treated me but even in death Callum had decided to show me how much he loved the other woman over me.

“Madam, but he said you can keep this house as he knows your parents aren’t going to take you back” The lawyer's voice broke me out of my thoughts.

I swallowed the lump forming on my throat as I looked at the lawyer who was also a member of his motorcycle club.

Is that all? I asked, trying so hard to not break down at that moment.

He said the club members would always protect you.

“I think that’s what suits you Daisy, I got everything after all” Layla taunted again me as she stood up.

Watching the woman who has ruined my marriage have so much leverage above me made my heart boil.

I was a fool,I should have left when I still had the opportunity but yet I stayed to face this humiliation even after his death.

“You can keep the house Layla" I say, making her halth.

Layla smiled as if she had just won a lottery.

Obviously he loved you enough to have a son with you and not me, you deserved everything, I would take my things and leave.

“Daisy , you really don’t want to do that” His lawyer warned me.

Where do I sign everything over ? I asked ignoring his words

I wasn’t taking a thing from that bastard, I was done with him and everything that has to do with him.

Ignoring his stare I sighed everything over.

I wasn't his wife anymore , I didn’t want him , I didn’t want his world , I wanted to be out of it already.

I was done. Since he could give out everything to his bitch then she could have if all.

He was dead and I could have my life back.

This is a new beginning for me , a new beginning from the man who had ruined my life.
