OWNED BY MY EX-HUSBAND’S STEPBROTHER Chapter 53
Now, Gloria understood the truth about the two rich men in her life. Victor Anderson had way more money than Lukas Anderson, the hard boss CEO. Victor's wealth was about 10 times bigger than Lukas's. And that did not count all the special family friends and power the Anderson family had for many years. They knew important people like politicians and big business leaders. Those connections helped them get anything they wanted.Victor was born with all that luck and money. He got big houses, cars, and help from day one. But Lukas was different. He was the mistress’s son. Who’s name mysteriously vanished from the original will and after that sent away. He left with nothing. He slept in his old truck. He ate cheap food. He bought bad buildings and fixed them to sell for profit. Now he had Phoenix Tower. All from his own hard work.When Gloria heard Isaiah made seven hundred thousand dollars a year, she felt hope inside. Isaiah was just a helper with papers and calls. If Gloria got that mu

I’m still being merciful to her." Lukas replied coolly to Isaiah, his voice steady and unyielding as he leaned back in his massive leather chair behind the expansive CEO desk. The office was a fortress of power—floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the bustling city, dark wood paneling gleaming under recessed lights, a wall of awards and framed deals testifying to his empire. "She said she wanted to be treated like a regular worker, so I did exactly that. This is the perfect contract for her situation. Don't you have the same kind of contract yourself?""But my salary is not this small, Sir! This is—this is exploitation!" Isaiah protested, his usual poised demeanor cracking with genuine concern. Isaiah—sharp-featured, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit and blouse, his desk outside always a model of efficiency with color-coded files and a blooming orchid paced a few steps in front of the desk. She clutched a tablet to her chest, his loyalty to Lukas warring with hi

After she was done paying at the counter, Gloria walked out of the school building feeling weak from head to toe. Her entire body ached with exhaustion, as if the forty-thousand-dollar weight had physically drained every ounce of strength from her muscles. The bright midday sun glared down mercilessly on the parking lot, turning the asphalt into a shimmering heat wave that made her head throb. She tottered unsteadily toward her beat-up old sedan, the one she'd bought second-hand years ago with savings from her first real job. Each step felt like wading through thick mud; her knees buckled slightly, forcing her to grab the car door for support just to stay upright. She fumbled the key into the lock, yanked the door open, and collapsed into the driver's seat with a heavy sigh.For long minutes, she just sat there, staring blankly at the dashboard and the concrete wall ahead. The engine wasn't even on yet. Her mind was a whirlwind of panic—the burden of forty thousand dollars now sat squ

I hate that bastard!” Gloria cursed deep in her heart, her mind racing with fury. How could he? That man still had the balls to slander her right to her face, even though both of them knew the plain truth, she spent next to nothing on herself. Every single dollar went straight to maintaining their massive mansion: fixing the leaky roofs, paying the salaries of all the household staff including the ones he had slept with behind her back, and covering every necessity for their young daughter, Annabel. Gloria herself barely indulged; she couldn't remember the last time she bought anything that cost more than 50 bucks, a cheap pair of socks or a basic coffee from the corner store, that was it. Her wardrobe was thrift-store specials, her meals simple home cooking. Nothing extravagant, nothing selfish.But there she was, forcing a tight smile toward Mrs. Andrew, the principal whose office felt like a stuffy cage with its heavy curtains, stacked files, and the faint smell of old books and st

"Oh! Good morning, Mrs. Anderson. Are you here to talk about Annabel's problem with her classmates?" the old Mrs. Andrew said with a kind but tired smile. She had already expected Gloria to come discuss the bullying issue that Annabel was facing at school. "Please come in, Mrs. Anderson. I've been thinking about calling you anyway to talk about this problem we need to face together."Gloria followed Mrs. Andrew into the principal's cozy office, filled with bookshelves, kids' drawings on the walls, and a big wooden desk piled with papers. The smell of fresh coffee hung in the air. Mrs. Andrew sat down in her big principal chair and looked at Gloria warmly. "Please sit down, Mrs. Anderson. Make yourself comfortable."Gloria sat facing the old principal on a soft chair, her hands folded nervously in her lap. Mrs. Andrew cupped her hands together on the desk, like she was about to deliver some heavy bad news. "Mrs. Anderson, you've heard about this ongoing problem with Annabel and her cla

Gloria woke up very early again, before the sun fully rose. She had to cook a lot that morning because she needed to prepare a yummy breakfast for Annabel and her strict boss, Lukas Anderson. She also had to make a special lunch for Annabel, since her daughter was a super picky eater who only trusted Mommy's home cooking and hated the school cafeteria food.Gloria wondered for a moment if she also had to pack lunch for her boss, but then she remembered what Isaiah had mentioned—Lukas probably ate at fancy restaurants nearby during the day. So, there was no need for Gloria to make his lunch; he would just grab something quick outside and pay big money for it.Gloria carefully prepared Lukas's suit for the day, ironing it smooth and hanging it neatly in a drawer right in front of his bedroom door, so he could grab it easily. She knocked softly on the door a few times, her voice quiet. "Lukas, your suit and fresh shirt are ready in the drawer right outside the door.""Hrm? Yes, got it...
