บททั้งหมดของ After My Husband’s Bankruptcy: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

After eavesdropping on Milo and his creditors’ conversation, I did not call my father. Instead, I called my lawyer and asked him to look into the company’s financial situation. I then requested him to write up another divorce agreement and send it over as quickly as possible. The moment I hung up, I heard Milo’s screams of pain. I sneered. It had been less than ten minutes since I had left, and they were already acting. How impatient! As I expected, the moment I returned to the office, I saw the creditors pinning Milo on the table while beating him up.Blood leaked out of his mouth. In the past, I would have panicked and gotten beside myself with worry since I always did everything I could to ensure Milo’s safety. This fake blood, however, just threatened to make me laugh.“I’m sorry that you have to see this, honey.”It seemed that my calm made Milo sense that something was off, and he asked tentatively, “Did you call your father just now?”“Of course. But he didn’t answer

The creditors pinned my face to the cold, hard table. They also held my arms down so that I could not move.I could not see Lily’s face, but I could easily picture her smug expression in my head. Milo picked up the document from the floor and spread it out in front of me. “Dear, Lily is right. Since everyone is waiting for me to clear the debts, why don’t you make a bit of sacrifice and give up on the house and car to help me get through this? I’ll buy another house and car for you in the future.”I scoffed. Before I could answer, the creditors pressed me harder and nearly broke my arms. “Hear that?! Listen to your husband and sign the agreement, or we’re cutting off your fingers!”The pain nearly made me bite down on my tongue. I gasped for breath and forced these words out. “H-How dare you…”“I advise you to stop being stubborn, Mrs. Cardillo.”Lily crossed her arms and walked over to me while she snickered. “These creditors are thugs and will do anything for money. You’re o

I was sent to the hospital in a hurry. After emergency treatment, I finally woke up. My father stayed beside me the entire time, and his eyes were filled with tender love. “How are you feeling, Stella? Does it hurt anywhere?”I shook my head. When I saw my father’s reddened eyes, I was filled with regret over running away from home for Milo all those years ago. “I’m sorry, Papa. You were right. I made the wrong decision…”“It’s okay, Stella. You’ll always be my most precious daughter.” My father held my hand and looked at the scar on my wrist. After staying silent for a long time, he said in anger, “I won’t spare any of the people who hurt you.”A soldato came in and whispered to my father, “We’ve got him, Don York. He’s in the basement.”My father nodded and tucked me in. “Let me handle this. Just focus on resting.”When he was about to leave, I grabbed him. “I want to see it.”My father watched me for a few seconds before nodding. “Alright. I’ll have someone push you to the

“Please spare me, Don York!” Lily was bawling so hard that her face was covered in tears and snot. “Milo is the one who tricked and hurt your daughter! I didn’t do anything! I’m just an innocent girl! I don’t know anything, Don York!”Milo’s eyes burned with fury. “You liar!” He grabbed her by her hair and smacked her. “Who’s the one who climbed into my bed and convinced me to take all the company’s profits for myself?! You’re the one who threatened to expose me if I didn’t get a divorce! Who’s the one who added the additional agreement on her own and refused to leave behind the house and car for Stella? How dare you push it all on me! I’ll kill you, you witch!”“Ah! Help! Let me go, Milo!” Lily screamed and scratched his face. Both of them fought like mad dogs. Since Milo’s ribs were broken, his movements were clumsy, but his hits were vicious. Lily did not back down. She bit, scratched, and kept cussing him out. “Enough,” my father said coldly. Two soldati went forward and sepa

After three months of rest, my body gradually recovered. Worried that I would be bored, my father suggested taking me to a musical theater production so that I could relax. The moment we reached the entrance, someone suddenly ran over and fell down by my feet. “Please! Save me!”With the help of the light, I saw a face I was almost unable to recognize. It was Milo. He was emaciated, and his face was covered in both fresh and old bruises. One of his eyes was swollen shut, and there was blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. “Stella, my beloved! Save me! They’re going to kill me!”He grabbed my pant leg, and I could smell the stench of urine and blood from him. A few men chased after him from an alley while cursing up a storm. “Damn it! He sure can run!”“I’m going to break his legs!”Milo trembled and held onto me even tighter, like I was his ticket to salvation. “Stella, no matter what, we’ve loved each other before! Please, save me! Please!”Hank walked out of th
