All Chapters of Married Rich, but Every Penny's Controlled: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Angela's POVNews of the appointment for the abortion reached my husband, Jared Dickson, that very evening. Within the next half hour, the sound of his heavy, hurried footsteps approached me."What the hell do you think you're doing, Angela Baxter? Did you think that you could just decide to abort the baby on a whim?" he yelled in my face, tossing the appointment slip onto the coffee table, his eyes as dark as thunder."I'm not doing anything," I replied calmly. "I just didn't want this baby anymore."Jared looked puzzled at first. Then, he caught sight of the round-the-world travel itinerary on the table and laughed knowingly and derisively."So, this is why you're throwing a tantrum?"For the first time ever, he actually offered an explanation to me."Lena has been working diligently by my side for two years, and I was just simply rewarding her and her family. She deserved it."My eyes remained fixed on the figure of 780,000 dollars. All I wanted was an ergonomic chair that c

I felt as though I'd been struck by lightning. After all, Grandpa and Grandma's field back home was the fruit of their lifelong and painstaking labor.The moment Jared came back, I rushed over at once and demanded, "Did you just seal off my grandparents' field?"Jared loosened his tie leisurely and leaned back against the couch, replying casually, "I'm just being fair to everyone."My parents have been subsidizing us with millions of dollars' worth of financial aid every year. By the same logic, your family ought to contribute something too."Once the field is leveled, we can build an outdoor children's playground there. It would be a good place for the baby to go to after she's born."He spoke airily and casually, as though the destruction of that land were nothing but a trivial matter.My voice trembled. "But that's my grandparents' whole life!"He retorted, "And what, my parents' money just grows on trees or something? Marriage requires equal input from both parties. As the b

Third-Person POV Jared stood frozen at the doorway.The sprawling manor was eerily lifeless, draped everywhere with black decorations."What the hell is going on here? What's this, a funeral or something?" Jared roared.Frida hurried over and stammered, "Mr. Dickson, Mrs. Dickson's grandparents both passed away in the manor. According to the rules, this is how the place should be decorated…""What?" Jared asked, his voice rising sharply. "How could they just die out of the blue?"Frida explained everything honestly to him, and Jared frowned harder and harder as he heard the rest of the story."Impossible," he said. "How could the old man have killed himself over his clothes? He's not a kid. "Where is Angela? I will question her myself."Frida shook her head and didn't say a word. Jared lost his patience with her and headed straight up the stairs."Angela Baxter! Your damn family is getting increasingly out of hand!" he roared. "First, you made a whole fuss demanding a divor

Angela's POVThe moment I got off the operating table, I dragged my frail body out of the hospital and left.The hospital was full of people whom Jared knew. He would be able to find me in an instant if I stayed, but I never wanted to see him again.I clutched the pocket watch, which was the only thing that Grandpa and Grandma had left me, feeling a knife stabbing into my heart.They had been my only family left in this world. But now, they were both gone. And it was all my fault for choosing to marry the man who would eventually kill them.After finding a safe place to stay, I contacted Pete to sue Jared and Selena."Mr. Ramos, I have the surveillance footage from that time to prove that Jared and Selena conspired to drive Grandpa to his death and scare Grandma to her death as well."Also, am I able to use this incident as grounds to file for divorce against Jared as well?"Pete replied, "Yes. If the evidence is solid, the court will most likely grant the divorce."…News of
