Feel-Good Story

One year had gone by since my husband got married to me. I went back to the company for a celebration party. I'd just taken my seat when a woman with a Cartier ring around her finger splashed a glass of red wine in my face. "That's the chairman's seat, you slut! Who are you? How dare you take his seat!" The guests surrounded me and grabbed my hands and feet. Someone even kicked me down to the ground. I held my fury back. "I'm the chairman's wife! Matthew Grayson is my husband!" The woman yanked my hair and sneered at me. "So, you're the bitch he's forced to marry. He's already generous enough, letting you marry him. You live on his money, and now you're trying to steal his place and be the boss. I know sluts like you know no shame! Guards, throw her out!" I laughed mirthlessly. The man who leeched off me thought he could call the shots now. Still, I kept my fury in check and called his number. "Hello, Matthew. Did you tell everyone I lived on your money and that you're the boss of the company?"

Chapter 1 Ridiculous Demand

Matthew said nothing at all, but his mother, Sarah, did. A shrill voice retorted, "What on earth are you talking about, girl?" There was a heavy accent in her voice. She was a country woman. "My son makes big money while you do nothing all day! You shop around all the time! Of course, you live on my son's money!

"It's been a year since you married my son, and you haven't even given me a grandkid! How dare you yell at my son! This is ridiculous! Unbelievable!"

Sarah wanted to insult me further, but Matthew hung up, and only beeps echoed in the air. A moment later, Matthew's text came in.

'Sorry, Wendy. Mom's getting older, and you know what it's like with country ladies. They're stuck in the 60s. Don't take it to heart. We can talk about it when I get back.'

I stared at the text. This was absurd. It was a joke. Sarah was blind to her own world. Her son rose from a no-name man to the head of a company in a single year.

I helped him out a lot, but she thought her son did it on his own. She thought he was unbelievably talented.

The secretary, Rochelle Wood, overheard the call. She was the woman with the Cartier ring. Now, her eyes were filled with scorn for me.

"You heard that, people! Mr. Grayson's mother doesn't even like her!" She turned to me. "And I heard you snuck your way into marriage by drugging Mr. Grayson. You're a slut who'd stop at nothing to get what you want! How dare you show your face around us!"

She scanned the people who were keeping me down.

"But I'm not unkind. For Mr. Grayson's sake, I'll give you a chance to repent. It's the company's celebration party today. If you apologize—and I mean, really apologize—to all the company's employees in the hall, we'll let this slide and let you go."

Since their boss and his mother hated me, everyone played along with the secretary's plans. And they insulted me further.

"Yeah! Mr. Grayson's mom sees Ms. Wood as her own daughter!"

Someone added, "If you haven't snuck into the spot and refused to leave, Ms. Wood would've been the one to marry Mr. Grayson!"

"Now apologize to us, or you're not leaving!"

Rochelle pressed her hand down on my head, forcing me to bow.

Chapter 2 The Mistress
I clenched my teeth and held my back as straight as I could. I was hissing through my teeth."You might be blind, Rochelle, but I'm still Matthew's wife! You're going to get fired for this!"Rochelle Wood chuckled and huddled close enough to whisper into my ear. "Do you know why his mother took my side? Because I'm pregnant with her grandkid! Even if Mr. Grayson does show up, it's me against you. He's going to take my side, you barren bitch."She scoffed. "You don't even hold a candle to me. I'd leave if I were you. Saves the humiliation and the spot for a more deserving woman."My pupils turned into little dots, and I stared at the tiny baby bump on her belly. It was an eyesore. The man who promised me eternal love and gratitude had betrayed me a long time ago.While I was paving his way to success with my money, connections, and resources, he kept a woman on the side and started a family with her! They even had a baby!"Why you…"Before my rage could spill out of my mouth, R

Chapter 3 Refusal
The signs were all there, but I had no idea about them.Matthew was watching me. He thought my indifference meant I wasn't mad, and he spoke in an even softer tone. "Go back home and leave this to me. You will get the explanation you deserve. Trust me."I left the noisy hall and called my assistant."I need you to compile the company's transactions, important business proposals, work reports, and shareholder changes over the past year, then encrypt them and send them to me ASAP! Right now, if possible!"My assistant answered calmly, "Got it, Mrs. Grayson. Right away."…It was already late at night. Matthew was back. I heard the key turning in the keyhole. He was holding an immaculate paper bag. It was the delivery package from my favorite spot.Matthew was carefully taking his shoes off at the porch and changing into slippers. Softly and gently, he said, "Are you still up, Wendy?" I could hear how much he was faking it.Only a lamp was on in the living room. I was seated beh

Chapter 4 Offensive Husband
I looked at him. This was ridiculous. The look on his face clearly said, 'I'm doing this for the greater good. You're being a child!'Slowly, I stood up, and I met his eyes. "You're defying me for a mere secretary, Matthew?"That question left a crack in his pathetic ego. "You're making a mountain out of nothing. And we're a family. Defiance shouldn't even exist between us. I made the company money, and all the shareholders recognize me. "Ask them who's in charge, and they'll say it's me. You're telling me I can't even keep a secretary around?"I did not break eye contact. Instead, a sneer curled my lips. "You make it sound like you're indispensable to the company.""I know it's a hard-to-swallow pill, but it's the truth. You gave me your shares when you married me. You only hold 1%. My shares trump yours by a mile. I should've had the man of the family by now!"Matthew was still relaxed. He pushed the warm food over to me. "I'm very grateful for everything you did for me, Wendy

Chapter 5 Turn the Tables
A momentary pause later, he turned the room's attention to me. "And that someone is my wife, Wendy Jefferson! Not only did she throw a tantrum at the company's celebration party, she also, before the public eye, pushed and harmed a pregnant employee, Rochelle Wood! To call her actions dastardly is an understatement!"He continued, "It has affected the public negatively and shaken the reputation of the company, not to mention the bottom line of the shareholders! As president of the company, on behalf of a majority of the shareholders, I hereby propose that we strip Wendy Jefferson of all her shares and company title, effective immediately!"Most of the shareholders agreed right away."Mr. Grayson's right! That is the right move!""Wendy must take up responsibility for her behavior. She cannot stay, lest she hurts the company more!"Rochelle couldn't hold back her greed anymore. "Wendy is a slut who schemed and plotted her way into a marriage by sleeping with Mr. Grayson! She's a ba

Chapter 6 Useless Family
I looked at the screen. It read, 'Wendy Jefferson, shares held: 80.46%.'"Sorry to disappoint, but I do control the absolute majority of the shares." I turned my eyes to the ghostly pale Matthew, and I sneered. "I can't believe you thought you could impeach me, Matthew. You and what army? Your two-percent share?"Matthew said, "No, this is impossible! You only had three percent! You gave me two! You can't have more than 80%! That's impossible!" Matthew pointed at the screen with a trembling finger. "And there are more than twenty of us here! They can't have less than 20% in total!"Rochelle shared his gesture. She screamed, "This is fake! Don't trust her, people! She's trying to steal the company for herself!"Someone flung the doors open. The unkind Sarah and her quiet husband barged in. Sarah flailed her arms and charged right at me as she screamed, "You barren bitch! Rochelle's pregnant with my grandchild! Fuck off and make way for her!"For once, her husband spoke up. "Yeah!

Chapter 7 Retaliation
I slowed down and let things simmer. "After all, you were there when I took this very report. You begged me, crying and bawling, to keep this a secret, all so your son's ego wouldn't be ruined. Did you forget that?"Sarah turned a shade of blotchy pink. She jabbed a shaking finger at me and shrieked, "That's bullshit! That was some shady hospital you found! That report is all fake! You just want to ruin my son! Ms. Wood got pregnant with his child easily! That's all the evidence we need!""Really?" I arched my eyebrow and looked at Rochelle's baby bump. She was pushing it out further. "And what makes you think her baby is Matthew's?"Matthew's head jerked up. His eyes were glued to Rochelle, carrying his last sliver of hope. "Tell me she's lying, Rochelle. Tell me!"Rochelle's eyes darted away. She could not meet Matthew's eyes. "Don't listen to that bitch, Matthew! She's trying to drive us apart! She's jealous of me! Of my baby! Of course you're the father!"I chortled, amuse

Chapter 8 Not His Baby
The evidence was presented perfectly, and there were no holes in the logic. The court of public opinion had a big shift on its… opinion.The Internet was calling me a snake a day ago, but now it was singing a different tune.'That leech lived off his wife and had an affair with another woman? Unbelievable!''And that leech has a whole family doing the same thing! Ew, my lunch is coming up.''Rochelle's a fake bitch! I can't believe she said all that when she's the mistress! The audacity!''Well, I think Ms. Jefferson did a great job! You should cut trash out sooner than later!'An insider exposed yet another scandal on an anonymous forum. The picture showed Matthew's mother asking the Internet for some alternative medicine that could grant her a grandkid.The title read, 'My son has azoospermia. I need some alt med so he can give me a grandson.'There were even vague pictures of her chat history. The panicked Sarah asked someone if azoospermia was untreatable.That piece of in

Chapter 9 More Evidence
I rolled down the window slowly. Though he was disheveled and crying like a child, I felt nothing. Indifferently, I said, "It doesn't matter what you want, Matthew. The divorce is already official."What little light he had left in his eyes was snuffed out, replaced by despair. Just then, I thought, 'Maybe I should give him another parting gift.'I took out a hefty document envelope from the passenger seat's glovebox and tossed it out the window. It landed beside his feet with a thud. "Take it. It's a divorce gift."A dazed Matthew picked up the envelope, and he opened it with a trembling hand. Inside was a stack of hi-def photos, and in the center of them was Rochelle.She was in a loose maternity suit, showing up in places like the hospital's OBGYN, upscale restaurants, and even the neighborhood.In every photo, there was a man who carefully held her, opened car doors for her, and even caressed her baby bump.That man was none other than Matthew's father.They were the picture
