Chapter 3

We had an agreement before our marriage. He just wanted me to marry him, and I wanted money. He agreed to give me 200 thousand dollars every month. I could ask for more anytime if it was not enough. He said he knew I only loved money. If not, I would not have dumped him for that trust fund baby and gone to Manovia with him for two years.

To this day, he still doesn't know who that rich heir really was, but he was convinced that I was just a gold digger.

Ever since we got married, I rarely asked him for money, but I was barely making ends meet even with the 200 thousand dollars every month.

To prevent a relapse, I needed to support myself with expensive medications. The medical check-ups were not cheap either.

This was only the second time I had ever asked him for money. The first was when my mother passed away. Back then, he gave me a million readily and without question.

This time, however, he merely lowered his head as he smoothed Lily's hair gently. He comforted her softly as if he did not hear what I had said.

Only after Lily stopped crying did he look up at me with a cold smirk. "You want money? Sure. Get on your knees and apologize then. Since you've hurt Lily, you must apologize to her!"

Lily seemed shocked at first. Then, she had a satisfied smile on her face. She tugged at Leonard's sleeve coyly. "Leonard, it's fine. I'm not badly hurt. Maybe she didn't mean it."

"She should apologize to you whether she meant it or not. You're my darling." He picked Lily up and gently placed her on the sofa.

Then, he took out his checkbook and wrote a number. "If you kneel and apologize to her, five million dollars will be yours."

Staring silently at the figure on the check, the pain in my chest did not feel as horrible anymore.
