The Sweetest Revenge

“You know, Madam. This decision of yours is reckless.” Petrus, as Fernando’s family’s personal lawyer had reprimanded me many times, and I didn’t care at all.

To hell with my family’s lawyer, he would never know anything. Like how Aaron’s love for me was overflowing. I believed him, he was the husband who had tied the knot with me three years ago in front of the priest, and he promised to take care of me until I died. So, there was no reason for me to suspect him, let alone think that something bad would happen to our marriage after I handed over all of my family’s inheritance to him.

“Don’t be stupid, Petrus. He is my husband!” I answered in a high tone.

The man lowered his head, my anger had made him feel that he had been impolite. He should have known that from the start.

“I’m sorry, Madam. I just wanted to protect you.” Petrus tried to explain.

“From my husband?” I joked while mocking him.

I folded my arms across my chest, trying to suppress all the emotional turmoil in my heart. I brushed back my loose hair, then folded the hem of my skirt and sat on a row of blue chairs, right in front of the entrance of a door that had the words local district court written on it.

“Humans are the greatest treacherous creatures of all time, Madam. Never mind a husband who is not blood related. Even one family can betray each other.”

I clicked my tongue, waving my hand so that Petrus wouldn’t speak again. Everything that came out of his mouth made me sick.

I turned my head, when the blue mini car was parked nicely in front of the lobby, then I looked again at Petrus who was still standing right next to me who was sitting.

“You see, he even picked me up. He’s still taking me home when he is busy with his work, don’t you see how sincere he is to me?” I mocked Petrus again.

I left, while responding to the wave of the handsome man who came out from the side of the car’s driver seat. I smiled broadly, hugged him, and kissed him. Yes, he was Aaron, my husband who had always been suspected by Petrus. A suspicion that was completely unnecessary.

How could it not be, who didn’t know Aaron’s family? The Abbas family was a family that still had very thick Middle Eastern blood. They owned a business empire that was not only in one country, but the world. All that wealth was more than enough to live in luxury for seven generations, when compared to my inheritance, it was nothing at all. So what should Petrus be worried about all that? A very stupid thing.

“What’s with the ugly face of your family lawyer, Merry?”

I shook my head, after we finished kissing I immediately got into the passenger seat and smiled at my beloved husband.

“No, he was just making small talk with me.”

Aaron looked at Petrus, shrugging his shoulders. He didn’t seem to like Petrus from the start.

“But everything went smoothly, right?” Aaron asked.

I immediately lifted a large brown envelope, a document that I had almost forgotten about. I smiled widely just as Aaron enthusiastically looked at the entire contents of the document.

“This is amazing!” Aaron exclaimed. I knew that he would be very happy with this gift. A small promise of mine, to give him all my family assets as a gift for his 40th birthday. “I never expected that you would do all this for me, Merry. I love it.”

“Because I love you, Aaron. And you should know that in this world there is nothing more valuable than you.”

“I love you too.”

We kissed again for quite a long time, until the sound of a car horn managed to make us both laugh, and we decided to leave the place immediately.

The next day, Aaron seemed ready. I was quite confused because Aaron had never told me before that he was going on a business trip or anything.

“You will go?” I asked, tying my hair up carelessly, then I walked over and kissed Aaron on the cheek.

My husband was very neat, a blue suitcase was already by his side. Aaron nodded then he smiled at me.

“I regret not telling you this earlier, Merry. I regret having to leave for two weeks, Merry.”

I was silent for a moment, it was unusual for Aaron to leave suddenly. Was the company not doing well?

“Tell me, is the company in trouble?” I asked, starting to worry.

“No. I don’t have time anymore, Merry. I have to go.”

I didn’t have time to accompany him for breakfast, I saw Aaron leaving in a hurry. I took a deep breath, it felt so heavy to see my husband leave, especially since he will be gone for so long of course.

“Is your husband gone?”

I stopped in my tracks. It was that man again, I had tried to avoid him for so long. Yes, Imran Abbas who was none other than Aaron’s uncle who always interfered with my life. I didn’t know what the man’s goal was, I just felt annoyed by his attitude of knowing it all.

“Didn’t you tell him to?” I said, a little annoyed.

Imran was the holder of the highest throne and heir to the Abbas family fortune. As the only son in this family, it was as if he had a golden ticket to get everything, and all members of the Abbas family had to obey all his orders. Unfortunately, Imran’s age was not much different from Aaron, his nephew. The two were only two years apart in age.

“Tsk! Why didn’t you follow him? Who knows, he might not be away… working.”

I didn’t understand what he said, only that I was given a phone that displayed a location tracking application, and I saw that the green dot that was moving was most likely Aaron’s movement.

I was about to get angry, but I started to notice that the direction Aaron was heading was not the airport but one of the apartments in the downtown district.

“Nadya Thomas. Surely you are familiar with that name, right?”

“What do you mean?” I started to feel annoyed. However, Imran did not answer anymore, the man immediately left.

I held my chest quite tightly, I started to be curious about Aaron’s GPS point. Until finally, I took my coat and immediately I rushed to look for the point. And it turned out to be true, Aaron’s car was parked neatly in a basement of the apartment.

I started to feel anxious. I knew one of the owners of this apartment unit was Nadya, my best friend.

My tears fell on my cheeks, my body shook violently seeing all this. Like a nightmare that I never wanted, I witnessed all the heartbreaking things with my own eyes.

I walked over to them, I pulled Aaron’s arm roughly. Both of them were shocked by my presence but I didn’t care.

“What are you doing!” I was angry. I looked at Nadya and slapped her, Nadya just stayed silent while holding her cheek. “You’re my best friend, Nadya. You’re my best friend! And he’s my husband!”

“Shut up!”

The slap landed smoothly on my cheek. It was a slap from the man I loved so much, a slap from the man I loved. A slap that destroyed all my trust and love in one go. How could Aaron slap me for that other woman!?

“You slapped me, Aaron? I’m your wife!” I was out of control.

Aaron looked at me with that smirk, I had no idea what was getting into Aaron. I could even see clearly that Aaron had no regrets at all, I could see it clearly from his eyes.

“Then why did you slap my girlfriend, Merry?”

My tears just fell. Stupid! I shouldn’t have cried, I should have been strong and acted okay in front of them!

“She’s my best friend, Aaron.”

“So?”

“I’m your wife! How can you say you’re having a relationship with your own wife’s best friend?!”

I pushed Aaron’s body, but he pushed me back. I fell, and I could clearly see how painful all of this was.

Nadya immediately embraced Aaron’s body, her eyes looking at me with a mocking gaze. Here it was clear that I had lost, lost to my own best friend. I couldn’t imagine how I could compete over my own husband with… my best friend?

“Mommy!” the shout managed to make me turn my head, I could see Miki, Nadya’s son from her boyfriend, came to embrace his mommy. I knew Miki, I loved that fiveyearold boy sincerely. Like my own child. “Daddy!”

My eyes opened wide, I was immediately stunned stupidly when Miki hugged Aaron’s body tightly while calling him … Daddy.

Did I hear it right? I didn’t hear it wrong, right?

“What kind of reality is this? Isn’t he … he ….”

“Miki is my son from my boyfriend, and my boyfriend is … your husband. Isn’t all this clear, Merry?”

My heart was broken, I didn’t even want to accept this day at all. I wanted to curse God, how could he give me such a terrible fate? What kind of fate was this?

I lost to those wretched people like Nadya and Aaron, and I didn’t even know what to do now.

“Okay…” I said, I didn’t want to look weak in front of them. I had to prove that I could stand strong, even though my heart was shattered. “Now I know that you two are a perfect match. In fact, a traitor is the most suitable for a shameless thief. You’re so cruel to be the third person in your best friend’s relationship. Yes, congratulations, you are great people. Now, return my family’s wealth, and I will take care of our divorce afterward.”

“Your family’s wealth?” Aaron acted stupid. I still couldn’t understand how a man could be as shameless as him. “Which family wealth are you referring to, Merry? You have nothing left.”

I was shocked to hear that. What did Aaron mean?

“My entire family inheritance that I gave to you. Give it back!”

“You have given it to me consciously, and legally all your family’s wealth is mine. So you have no right to take back something you have given me!”

I could only shake my head, I didn’t know what to do anymore. Especially when Aaron stood in front of me and slapped my cheek so painfully.

“You know, in my eyes you are trash. An oldfashioned woman with oldfashioned thinking, a woman who is not modern and boring. Do you think that all this time I married you for love, or because I was attracted to you?” Aaron laughed, and now he was walking, circling my body. “If I hadn’t been eyeing your family’s inheritance, I would never have wanted to touch, let alone marry you, Merry.”

I could only squeeze my chest that felt sore. In fact, it hurt so much, I couldn’t feel my own pain. Aaron left, holding Miki’s hand while embracing Nadya into the elevator in the apartment’s basement as if he was creating a happy little family, while I was only considered trash by him.

I cried again, screaming like an idiot, not caring if anyone saw me now. I just wanted to let out all my emotions, rather than going crazy alone here.

Because in the end I was dumped, and in the end I was abandoned by a man I loved so much.

I gasped when my fallen coat returned to my body, a tall man hugged me from behind. Like a hero, he led me into his car and made sure I was okay. With eyes still swollen, with cheeks still wet, I could clearly see that Imran was sitting behind the wheel. Yes, that man was Imran, Aaron’s uncle.

“Now you know your husband’s motives, right?” he asked lightly. He was smoking as if he wanted to enjoy the cold atmosphere that had begun to creep into the deepest part of his bones. The black car seat was in harmony with the color of his halfwet hair.

“Since when?” I asked. Imran turned to me, his firm jawline hardening, then he looked away again with a grin.

“Even before you were married.”

Both of my hands gripped the skirt I was wearing tightly again, even to the point that my knuckles turned white. Damn! How long had they been having an affair behind my back? And I stupidly didn't know.

"Why didn’t you just tell me?" I asked again.

"I thought you weren't stupid enough to give your entire family inheritance to him.”

Imran looked back at me. Now his gaze looked very dark, cold, and scary. A sad look from his caramelcolored eyes managed to make me look away, I really didn’t feel comfortable being stared at like that.

“It turns out I was too late.” He continued then. He immediately pressed the butt of his cigarette, and lit another new cigarette.

“Then, why did you tell me now? Isn’t he your nephew?” I asked finally. This was one of the things that confused me about the figure named Imran.

Imran smiled again, now he puffed out his chest. His head came closer to me even until our faces almost met. I couldn’t blink in a situation like this. His warm breath was felt on my cold cheeks.

“Don’t you want to play a game?” he whispered. The distinctive aroma of tobacco from highclass nicotine was so sharp. I turned my face away again while waving my hand. I didn’t like the smell of men who smoked.

“Stop playing with me, Imran.”

I was about to leave, but Imran immediately grabbed my wrist tightly. It hurt so much, I tried to release his grip, but the grip felt even tighter, causing me pain. I stared at Imran fiercely, until he smiled, and released my grip.

“I can take your family inheritance back from Aaron’s hands. It’s a very… easy thing.”

I raised one of my eyebrows, for some reason I suddenly felt uneasy hearing Imran’s words. However, my heart that was already hurt was quite curious. What kind of game did Imran want to play so that I could get my inheritance back? Because I would not want my family’s wealth to be used by Aaron to have fun with Nadya, his mistress.

“How?” I asked finally.

I clearly saw Imran smile again, as if I had fallen into his trap, that’s what I saw from the cunning eyes of Imran Abbas.

“First of all, divorce Aaron.”

“You don’t need to tell me to do that!” I answered quickly. What kind of game was that? I didn’t understand Imran’s way of thinking at all.

“Then marry me.”

Hearing that, I immediately turned to look at Imran. And my eyes widened even more in disbelief right when his lips suddenly started to crush mine. What was Imran trying to do to me?!

“What are you doing, Imran?”

I pushed Imran’s body. The man seemed to click his tongue then he wiped his lips which were probably already full of my lipstick.

Insolent! Who was he to dare do this to me? He kissed me. He was truly a shameless pervert!

I immediately got out of his car, then Imran followed my steps hurriedly. The man seemed reluctant to let me go, that’s what I saw clearly from him.

“Do you think you will get justice in the Abbas family, hm?” Imran spoke again. “And your motherinlaw will defend you after Aaron’s affair was exposed?”

I stopped in my tracks, I saw how Imran smiled as if mocking me. This was really something that made me sick.

Actually what Imran said was true. Mother, no… I mean the Madam who was none other than Aaron’s mother did not really like me from the start. It was clear from her cold attitude, as if… she was indifferent.

Every time Aaron was at home, my motherinlaw put on a perfect show. Like a motherinlaw who cared the most about her daughterinlaw, like the most perfect motherinlaw. But in reality, every time Aaron left the house, that coldness was obvious and I started to feel oppressed. Pain, that's what I felt, but I tried to endure because of a marriage relationship. Damn it, really!

"If you take the opportunity to follow my wishes, then you will get everything. Your inheritance, and your revenge."

"I don't want you to be used as a tool for something that I don't know yet."

After saying that, I hurried away. Because I didn’t care about Imran’s words anyway. For me, the entire Abbas family was not good. Not only my motherinlaw, my husband, but everyone there.

And sure enough, when I was at the main residence of the Abbas family, I was about to tell her about Aaron’s affair with Nadya. However, my steps stopped right when I saw Aaron had come home, he was sitting with his mother in the living room, crossing his legs and both of them were enjoying wine.

“This is a good thing, Aaron! In the end you got an inheritance from that damn woman’s family?”

I clenched my fists tightly, this was truly unimaginable. Did… did that cold woman also know about Aaron’s plan?

“That’s right, Mother. That way we don’t have to beg Uncle anymore. Even though we only get 10% of the Abbas family’s inheritance each, if we are able to process the petroleum from the Merry family’s land, it is certain that our wealth will be comparable to the Abbas family!” the shout was heard loudly, then both of them laughed simultaneously.

Hearing that, my heart was broken. My legs were no longer able to support my body and I just collapsed on the floor. Really, this family is so cruel. They were able to play their roles perfectly as if it looked very beautiful. As if they cared so much, and loved me. But in reality….

“Now I have nothing to do with Merry, and I don’t care whether she wants to divorce me or not, what is clear is that at your birthday party the day after tomorrow, I will bring Nadya and our child to come, Mother. She is your grandson, and I will announce firmly to all members of the Abbas family that we will be engaged right after Merry and I divorce.”

What should I do? I didn’t want to be humiliated! I must take revenge for what they've done to me!

While stumbling, I tried to find Imran. I saw that the broadbacked man was standing in the back garden. With both his hands in the pockets, he finally turned around, as if he knew I was coming to see him.

"How is it? Have you got an answer?"

Both of my hands clenched tightly, I swallowed my saliva with difficulty several times before my voice came out perfectly.

“Before I make a decision, can I ask you a few things?”

The man nodded, inviting me to ask anything. His two long legs stepped forward, then he smiled at me again. His big fingers began to touch my cheeks, feeling me, and brushing aside my hair that covered part of my cheeks.

“You are very beautiful, Maria.” He whispered which made me shiver.

I immediately stepped back, I pushed his hand away, he seemed to laugh. But I didn’t see him angry at all of course.

“Why do you want to help me? Isn’t Aaron your nephew? And his mother is your sister.”

I was really curious about this, that’s why I wanted to ask directly to make sure if the decision I made was right. Because I don’t want to fall into the same hole, because I don’t want to be harmed by anyone again in terms of heart, feelings or material.

“Then, why do we have to get married?”

“Because I don’t want to lose, and I want you. Do you think there is any help in this world that is free?”

I swallowed hard again. Indeed, for Imran, his life was the same as business. He would never give in, make an exception. Because according to him, there must be a price to be paid in proportion to everything he would do.

I was silent again for a moment, then I looked at Imran with my confident gaze. Everything was going to be okay, right? Aaron, believed me after this all the games will start soon!

“Okay.”

Imran seemed to pull one eyebrow, he smiled perfectly. He even looked at me with that seductive gaze.

“Say it clearly, Maria.”

“Okay, I am willing to marry you. Do you think my words are not clear to you?”

Imran smiled, then he clapped his hands perfectly. He was very happy with my decision.

“However, before we get married, and before you divorce Aaron, I actually want one more thing from you as proof, Maria.”

I turned again to Imran, the man had even stood up, walking in front of me and that succeeded in making me stand up and follow his steps.

“What is it? Tell me.”

“Just think of it as… proof.” Imran immediately looked at me with that grin, he walked closer to me again, then his thumb pressed my lips, and wiped off the lipstick on my lips. Until then he said, “make love to me tonight, Maria.”

My body froze for a moment, I couldn’t even think straight. Especially when Imran had attacked my lips, and led me into his room.

“Why are you still here, Merry. Shouldn’t you have gone home?”

I, who had just entered the room this morning, was surprised by a surprising question from Aaron. Did he hate me that much? Was he that bad? Or would he give this room to… Nadya?

“Don’t get cocky, Aaron. Do you think I’m willing to stay here? Do you think you deserve to be regretted and begged not to leave?” I started to speak loudly. Luckily my voice didn’t tremble, luckily my voice didn’t sound hoarse.

No matter how broken my heart was, what was clear for now was that I would prove to Aaron and his mother that I was able to stand on my own two feet and I didn’t want to cry in front of their eyes.

“Sorry, Young Master Abbas, I am still here because I am still your wife and I am currently taking care of our divorce papers. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be afraid that I might slow down your path to living with your shameless mistress. Because I also don’t want to keep a cheap man like you.”

“Good.” Aaron answered without even feeling guilty. He immediately opened the closet, threw all my clothes and he looked at me with his cold gaze. “Now move to the guest room, because tonight Nadya will come and stay here. And I also don’t want you to cause trouble with Nadya. Understand?”

Aaron immediately left, in my heart I kept trying to suppress the emotions that were there, trying to put my heart back together that was in shambles. Just wait, okay… just wait, I will make him regret treating me like trash.

And the night of my motherinlaw’s birthday party arrived. Of course this was something that everyone had been waiting for. All members of the Abbas family, all relatives and business relations of the Abbas family came and no exception. Maybe this would be one of the reasons for Aaron to show off the woman he loved, that was why he was waiting for this moment.

Damn it! I never thought that Aaron would be so shameless. When he was still my husband, when we were still married, he would do this annoying thing to me. Was he satisfied? Did he do this on purpose? How barbaric!

"Young Madam, this is a delivery from Mr. Abbas."

I turned my head and saw the servant coming to my room, I saw that he was shocked by the situation in my room, but I didn't care about that. What I cared about was the delivery that the servant delivered. A delivery from... Imran?

“Can you help me move all my stuff in the guest room?” I asked for an offer.

The maid still looked surprised, until finally she nodded and followed my order.

“Yes, Young Madam.”

We finally rushed to move all my things, then I arranged everything in the guest room. A small room that was very far from the main room, and it made me smile bitterly. It was really funny, and it made me think that it was true that there was not a single person in this world who could be trusted at all.

“Young Madam, I’m sorry… I got an order that all these things must be moved to the Master’s room.”

I started to feel confused.

“Why does it have to be like that?”

“We are just following orders, Young Madam.”

I held my breath perfectly and let the servants do everything. While I was still in the guest room, then opened the package that Imran sent me.

There was a red dress, silver high heels, a bag, and jewelry. Everything looked very beautiful and expensive, also… elegant.

Aaron had never bought me anything like this in his entire life. A simple and polite appearance was what I had to do. At first I thought that if he wanted to take care of me, it turned out that I was not considered important enough to be attractive.

“Wear all of these things. All of them are the most expensive from worldfamous designers. I make sure that tonight you will be the center of attention as the most expensive woman at the party. Don’t forget to wear red lipstick, walk with your chest puffed out, lift your chin high. Prove to them that you are a woman who is completely untouchable.”

My hands trembled reading the short message written by Imran. A revenge plan that seemed mature. I wiped my tears roughly, I swear this would be the last tear I will shed for Aaron, and for the failure of my household relationship with the man I used to love so much, and now I will make sure to those who hurt and betrayed me if I am able, and if I can stand much higher than them.

“Make sure that useless woman doesn’t come out of the room when my party is going on, Aaron. I’m really sick of that woman! I don’t want that woman to disturb my birthday party.”

“You don’t have to worry at all, Mom. I assure you that everything will go smoothly, even if that woman goes out, there’s nothing she can do except feel ashamed and devastated.”

I could vaguely hear Aaron and his mother discussing me very clearly, and I could hear that the house was already very noisy.

So, they deliberately kept me from leaving the room? Truly, a plan that would definitely fail.

I could see how my room was locked from the outside, and I didn't even have a chance to get out.

I held my breath perfectly, I tried to stay calm. It would be much better if I prepared myself first so that when Imran came I could immediately go with him.

After I made sure that I was ready, there was a knock on my door. There was an argument from outside until finally my door opened wide after being broken down. I could clearly see Imran standing arrogantly, looking at me with his sharp gaze. For some reason, the feeling that had been anxious from the start was now starting to calm down. Was Imran that important now?

“It’s time for you to come out, Maria. Prove to everyone out there, that you are the future Lady of this family.”

Imran extended his hand to me, and I grabbed it firmly. While he was holding my waist possessively, I started to puff out my chest, and lifted my chin. I walked arrogantly and people had started to look at me. I could clearly see how my motherinlaw, Aaron, Nadya and their child were standing in front of the cake, and they looked so happy.

Relax…wait, after this they will be destroyed instantly.

“Why are you in such a hurry to blow out the candles? I haven’t even given you a present yet.” Imran said and everyone immediately looked at us.

I could clearly see how Aaron stared at me with wide eyes, it seemed like he was surprised that I suddenly came with his uncle.

Imran hugged me even tighter, as if he wanted to give me strength. I smiled confidently, while seeing Imran speak again.

“Before I give you a gift, I want to announce something in front of all family members and our family business relations.”

“Imran, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly with that woman?”

“That woman?” Imran said again. I started to feel quite worried about this. “The woman I am embracing will be my wife, we will get married soon after this.”

I immediately turned to look at Imran, he kissed me. I could see from the corner of my eye how Aaron, his mother and Nadya were shocked to death by Imran’s announcement. I smiled, I returned Imran’s kiss to me. I felt my heart win watching how shocked my rotten husband was!

“What the hell?!”

Aaron stepped forward, he immediately pulled my hand, took me out of the party and pushed me until I fell to the floor.

It hurt, but the pain I felt now was nothing compared to the pain Aaron might feel. Or, it wasn’t the pain that Aaron was concerned about but the shame, and I was satisfied enough with that.

“What are you doing, Merry? Are you crazy?! What are you doing to Uncle? He is my uncle!” Aaron was angry.

“Then what’s the difference with you? Who is Nadya? She is my best friend, and you have an affair with her. Do you have the brain for that?”

Aaron slapped me again, it hurt so much and this was something I would never have imagined.

“I will never keep quiet, Merry. Whatever you plan I will never accept. You are still my wife!”

“And I assure you that our marriage will end soon!”

After saying that, I rushed away. I was about to go into the guest room but Imran quickly pulled my hand.

“Are you hurt?”

My eyes filled with tears seeing Imran’s concern, I nodded without intending to answer a word.

“My stomach hurts.” I answered while pressing my lower stomach. This was something painful, and I didn’t know what to do. What happened to me?

Imran didn't say anything, he immediately carried me. I panicked myself with this, and I was immediately taken to the hospital.

After getting an examination of course everything was clear, it turned out I had a miscarriage. A condition where I didn't know, and I couldn't imagine it.

For some reason I cried again, Aaron was the cruelest man ever. After he broke my heart, after he cheated on me, now he killed his own baby, our child. I really never thought that a thousand of these bad luck would happen to me at once.

“I had no idea you were pregnant. How do you feel now?” Imran asked. The man smiled wryly. “It turns out your husband is not only good at killing your feelings. He is also good at killing your child. It’s really scary.”

“Can you…” I said, breaking off. My voice sounded hoarse, and I hated being weak like this the most. “help me to get a divorce soon? I hate him so much!” I continued.

Imran nodded. “I assure you that within a month you will be officially divorced.”

I didn’t know why I started to pin my hopes on this man who accompanied me. It could be said to be crazy, but I felt that he was able to heal my inflamed wounds. I nodded, and thought that everything would be okay. Yes… everything would be okay.

“Why did you bring this woman home, Imran?!”

When I returned to the Abbas family residence, of course the first thing that happened was rejection. Who wouldn’t think that? For them, I was a discarded daughterinlaw, who was useless, and who was not needed at all. That was why I had to leave this house after I was no longer needed by them.

I could clearly see how Nadya and her child were already in this residence, it turned out that they had really been living in the Abbas family residence, even they slept in my room.

Both of my hands clenched, I really will never let Nadya live in peace. Everyone who hurt me, betrayed me, I make sure that they will get their just reward from me.

"Why can't I bring my future wife home?" Imran answered loudly.

"Are you crazy, Imran? Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I like to joke?" Imran continued to deny his sister, I couldn't say anything else. "Instead of Maria going, shouldn't you and all your kid go, Silla?"

“What do you mean, Imran?”

“Isn’t it obvious that this is the residence of the Abbas family, and who is the greatest heir of this family?”

I could see how the woman whose face was already quite wrinkled began to hold back her emotions, I smiled faintly for that. It felt satisfying and proud, in the end I found an opponent who was comparable to all of them, and I felt happy for that.

“Mom… I mean, Silla. Sorry if I was rude because soon I will be your sisterinlaw. Forgive me, rather than you being busy taking care of my life, wouldn’t it be much better for you to be busy taking care of your shameless son and his mistress?”

“You…”

“Oh yes, this is my husband’s residence, which means you are just living rent free here. So I hope, after I officially marry Imran you all will leave this house, because I don’t want any cheap women occupying this residence for any reason.”

Nadya must have heard that and felt annoyed, but I didn’t care at all. Didn’t they already have a lot of money? I don’t think buying a few houses would be hard enough for them, right?

“You’re so presumptuous, Maria! Do you think you’re the mistress of this residence!”

“In fact, I am, right?” I answered loudly. Then I hugged Imran’s body, I put on a spoiled expression in front of him. Then I said, “Look, your sister hates me so much, Imran.”

“You don’t have to scold Maria. She is my woman and no one has the right to hurt her.”

“You…”

I smiled again, then I invited Imran to leave immediately. Forcing them to move away from the door, then I stopped my footsteps again.

"I hope the mother and the little boy stay in the guest room because I don't want my house to be used as a place for that shameless couple to have sex. And I hope that no one in the room needs to be served. So if you want to eat, go straight to the dining table, without having to be brought to the room."

After I said that, I rushed into Imran's room. Of course this was something very exciting, and Imran immediately clapped his hands at me.

“You’re very good at acting, Maria. I like it.”

I smiled, I didn’t even dare to answer anything Imran said now.

“I want to tell you some good news.”

“What is it?”

Imran took a document and then showed it to me, I was curious about the document, then Imran smiled and said, “The day after tomorrow you will have your first divorce trial, and I have succeeded in getting all your family’s inheritance again.”

I could only be silent, it was truly an unimaginable thing. This fast? Imran was even able to give me everything I wanted in a matter of days.
