After Divorce, I Won The Christmas Lottery นิยาย & เรื่องราว

My hands shook a little after I put my signature on the paper as I realized the gravity of what I had just done. I was officially divorced. As I stared at the signed papers, something shifted inside me. It wasn’t just grief any more; it was clarity. I had nothing left tying me to Washington city. No family. No home. There's no reason to stay. The love I’d fought for, cried for and defended had never truly existed. Julian had walked out of our marriage long before today. I was just the last one to leave. And maybe, just maybe, that made me stronger. I wiped my tears, squared my shoulders, and told myself I would not be broken. I would start again on my own terms.

One day, half a year later, I went to the town market and passed a lottery shop. It was packed with noise. "Boss, give me ten scratch-offs!" "Ah, so close to the jackpot!" I stopped and quietly looked at those faces gone feverish over a single number. Suddenly, a familiar voice flashed through my mind. "I'm claiming this prize today. If you dare run, we're getting divorced!" I smiled faintly. Then I shook my head and turned away. That five million had once been Daniel Lawson's obsession and my nightmare. But now, it was nothing.

"I'll get my year-end bonus in a month. If this affects my attendance, it won't be worth it! How about this? If you help me, I'll give you ten thousand dollars from my bonus! No, half! I'll share half with you, okay?" What a bizarre thing to say. I walked up to Vivian and looked her up and down. "Who do you think you are, Vivian? This time, I'm not only divorcing you, but I'm also taking back the share of the savings that rightfully belongs to me." Patricia couldn't handle it. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot. Vivian was then dragged into the police car. I went back to the hotel, changed into a clean set of clothes, and requested an extended leave from work.

"Maybe it can be something I think about after this competition." "Of course. And if it's something you decide you want to do, you can make sure you secure a good amount of money from the divorce settlement." I shook my head. "I'm not going to ask for anything from the divorce, Alexis." "What?" Luckily, the stoplight Alexis was coming to was red since she'd slammed on the breaks so hard it caused us both to jerk forward. "What do you mean you're not going to ask for anything?" "Exactly what I mean…" I said slowly but firmly. "I'm even giving him back the company shares he had gifted to me. I just have to have another transfer of shares agreement written up for me to sign so I can do so."

He was even drinking today. “Which of your clients and what did they do this time?” Laura asked. Abel also usually drank a lot when he was very frustrated. “That idiot divorced his wife months ago! The court already shared their properties between them. However, it was mostly his property since his wife was a housewife and barely had anything to his name. Now that his wife recently won a lottery of forty million dollars, he's requesting the court to give him his share of his lottery!” “Oh! That would be difficult to get.”

And now she had everything, and he had nothing, and now my family is about to loose everything, and the man I love isn’t answering my calls. When I returned to my hotel room, I opened my laptop. ‘ARIANA CHASE-COX NAMED CO-CEO AFTER SHOCK DIVORCE’ ‘MAXWELL COX LOSES BILLION-DOLLAR INHERITANCE TO EX-WIFE’ Every article said the same thing. Maxwell was barely holding on. Ariana was in. I was nowhere. I closed the laptop and picked up my phone and started a series of text messages to him. ‘Are you broke?’

I let out a cold laugh and hailed a cab. Instead of going to the company, I headed straight for the lottery center. "Hello. I'm the winner of the 800-thousand-dollar prize from this morning. I'd like to have a notarized certification of my winnings, please." In my previous life, I had been so anxious to pay for my daughter's surgery that I never got around to having the prize money notarized. By the time I was framed and tried to come back for it, a staff member at the lottery center had already been bribed by Russell and Kristen.

I want to have grandchildren by next year! Xavier was speechless. "Mom!" She pointed at the wedding gifts. "Have you ever seen anyone returning the wedding gifts when divorcing someone? You've truly broken her heart. She doesn't even want to have anything to do with you now." He swallowed and looked at the pile of gifts. His eyes reddened.

“Come on, I could clearly see you were avoiding him.” “So?!” I ask with open arms and wide eyes. This does not concern him. “Stay out of my marriage!” “Okay, okay, calm down. It’s Christmas, and we don’t want to upset Santa, do we?” He says. I place my hands on my waist, glaring at him and breathing heavily like an angry bear. About upsetting Santa, I think I already have, otherwise why would he give me a divorce paper as my wedding anniversary gift and also a Christmas gift.
