Lahat ng Kabanata ng I Became Rich After Marriage: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

My marriage to Shaun Lowell began because of a community gathering. At that time, I had just turned twenty-seven, and all I heard from my mother was her constant nagging to get married. The pressure made me react in anger, and I made my way to flirt with Shaun, who looked like the most eligible bachelor in the entire gathering. But he was even more straightforward than I was. When he saw me, he said, “Do you want to get married? I’ll give you at least two hundred thousand dollars a month as allowance.” At an offer like that, rejecting him would have been outright rude. Right after we introduced ourselves, we got married in the afternoon. During the two years of our marriage, we only saw each other once. In the beginning, I was worried that this was an elaborate scam, but he did not disrupt my life in any way in the past two years, aside from making me rich. “Ms. Snow, if there isn’t any problem with the form, please sign it and pick up your husband.” I wanted to tell him th

“Hey, handsome? Can I have your phone number?” This was already the third beautiful woman to hit on Shaun today. As a dutiful employee, I immediately turned around and pretended that I did not exist. Men were simple creatures. If I, a woman, found another woman beautiful, then he obviously might find her pretty as well, so I had to stay out of the way. Besides, these ladies could also lighten my workload of taking care of Shaun, so I considered them sisters in spirit even if they were not blood-related. “Aurora Snow.” “Yes, Mr. Lowell?” I perked up like a loyal lackey and even greeted the lady. “Miss, you’re really pretty! You’re a real match for my boss.” “Boss?” the woman asked. By the sounds of it, she did not quite believe what I had said. That would not do. While I did not care about being the obstacle in Shaun’s path to getting a girlfriend, I massively cared about him deducting my pay because of that. It was a complete no-no. “Yes! This is my boss. He’s rich an

In the end, I went to the student reunion and dragged Shaun along because he said that he vaguely remembered the restaurant where it was held. When I thought that there was a possibility of him remembering more things, I was so excited that I arrived half an hour early to roam about the restaurant with him. I only dragged him to where the reunion was when it was almost time. I thought that we were already late, but we ended up running into Blake at the door. He was dressed formally, and he looked as if he was here on a blind date. “You brought him to the student reunion? Really?” “So? Can’t I bring my family along?” Before he could respond, I opened the door and walked in. I also mumbled under my breath that he was a massive idiot. During the years I was caught in the cycle of breaking up and making up with Blake, it had endlessly provided gossip for my classmates. When they saw me coming in with Shaun in tow, their eyes shone with so much curiosity that the only thing la

Lily’s face soured, but she still agreed to it. “Sign the divorce agreement. I’ll give you a week’s time to pack your things. As for the divorce procedure, you don’t have to bother about it. I—” “No need for that.” I interrupted her and gave her a flattering smile. “Within three days, I’ll return Shaun to you.” Before Lily left, she gave me a puzzled look. “You’re leaving him so readily?” What a weirdo! Was I supposed to kick up a fuss and then delay till I get my twenty million? But rich people were sometimes a little sick in the head, so I asked tentatively, “Do you… want us to have a catfight before we sign the contract?” Lily slammed the door in my face. Wind gushed in when it did, and it blew the two pieces of paper on the table to the floor. I quickly crouched down to pick them up, only to find that I did not have the energy to get back up. It hurt. It felt as if someone had dug a hole in my heart. In those two seconds, I was not hesitating over whether ten mi
