The Birthday Party Bought With My Daughter's Life Chapter 10
Heather immediately hung up after delivering her threat. When I tried calling back, her phone was already switched off.A million dollars was no small sum. Her actions clearly amounted to kidnapping and extortion, which should be reported to the police.Just as I was about to dial 911, Monica caught my wrist. She quietly outlined her plan and immediately had her men prepare the cash.I didn't object. Instead, I turned and hurriedly left to announce that the wedding was canceled.Gathering that much cash took time, but Monica had her ways. Everything was ready in less than three hours.I loaded the suitcase full of cash and exchanged a look with her before driving to the docks. The evening wind was rough, and the boats moored at the dock rocked with the waves.As per instructions, I boarded a rundown vessel and made my way through the cabin until I spotted Heather and the others at the stern.Naomi's hands were tied as she glared at Heather like a trapped, furious little animal.

In less than two days, I was told that both Heather and Jared had been fired.Heather immediately called to curse me out for meddling, but I ignored her and blocked her number outright. Now that we were divorced, it was better if I could avoid contact.As Naomi steadily recovered, I didn't hide the truth from her and told her everything. She might be young, but she had her own sense of judgment.Naomi said nothing in response to the divorce since she had always shared a weak bond with Heather. Besides, she had no objections, knowing she would be staying with me from then on.As time passed, my relationship with Monica steadied before she eventually suggested having a wedding. Neither of us was extravagant, so we kept everything simple and low-key.One evening, I decided to drive Monica's usual car to her office to surprise her with some food while she worked late.The luxury car had just pulled out of our gated community when Jared suddenly darted out from the side and recklessly

After Naomi's condition stabilized, she was moved to a regular room. Monica had hired two caregivers who treated her with incredible patience and care. I observed them for a few days before I finally relaxed.As soon as the courthouse reopened, I immediately dragged Heather with me to finalize the divorce.Standing at the gates of the courthouse, she crossed her arms and turned to me. "You want a divorce? Fine, but I'm getting all the assets, while you're leaving with nothing and paying me ten thousand dollars in emotional damages."I turned down her demand on the spot.According to the divorce papers I had drafted, I kept my premarital assets. I wouldn't take a single penny of what Heather had earned over the years, on the condition that I was taking Naomi's sole custody.I could stand by that with a clear conscience.Heather took out her phone and confidently pointed at a photo on the screen. "I caught you on a date with another woman. That's an affair, so you should leave wi

I sent the soft copy of the divorce papers to Heather, then closed my eyes and forced myself to rest.I barely slept a few hours before being so worried about Naomi that I woke up again, so I got up and returned to the hospital.Just as I stepped out the door, I ran into Heather, who had just returned from her night out. She shoved her suitcase toward me and told me to unpack."I'm exhausted from a long day. Put my suitcase away and wash all the dirty clothes."Enough with this divorce nonsense. I know that you just want money, so I'll transfer you five thousand dollars later, and let's just drop it."I'm in a hurry to meet Jared for a meal and might not come back tonight. Take good care of Naomi."With that, she turned and rushed off.I ignored the suitcase and left the house.When I arrived at the hospital, Monica was there with Naomi and caring for her. I rushed over to take over, but she had handled everything that needed to be done.Monica told me she had arranged for two

The Browns had been seeking a son-in-law for quite some time. Despite the massive wedding gift offered, Monica had never found someone she deemed right, so nothing had ever been finalized.I had borrowed ten thousand dollars from her, so I couldn't think of any position or excuse that would let me shamelessly ask her for another 35 thousand dollars.All I had was myself.Startled, Monica reached out to help me up, but I shuffled back two steps in my kneeling position and knocked my head against the floor."I'm willing to marry into your family. We can sign a prenuptial agreement, and if we get a divorce, I won't touch a single penny from the Browns."I know we're nothing more than just schoolmates and dare not hope for more, so I'm selling myself just to trade my life for my daughter's."Monica opened her mouth as if to speak, but she ended up saying nothing. All she did was give a small nod.She helped me up, sat me down on a hospital bench, and then went off to speak with the

My heart skipped a beat. I dared not call Naomi and opened the tracking app for her smartwatch instead. The GPS showed her moving toward the remote outskirts of the city.I thought about it, then called Heather again to ask where they were. I explained that there had been a sudden power outage at the office and everyone had been sent home. If they hadn't gone too far, maybe she could come back and pick me up so we could go to the hospital together.She sounded flustered, muttered something about a bad signal, and immediately hung up.At that point, even an idiot could tell something was wrong. I rushed out to flag a cab to chase them down, too panicked to watch where I was going. As soon as I stepped onto the streets, a black luxury sedan nearly ran me over.Before I could even yell, the window rolled down to reveal Monica's bright, refined face. She looked almost like a savior to me then.I dropped to my knees beside her car window and begged, "Please help me, Monica. My wife h
