My Big Shot Uncles Dote on Me

Stacy’s pov.

Getting inside my husband’s house, I met an eyesore. My husband; Greg, was with another woman in the sitting room. They were sitting down. 

“What took you long? I have been waiting for you.” He arched his eyebrows at me and that only made me smile. I thought he had missed me for just a short period that I wasn't at home.

“I am sorry. I went to get this bouquet for you. And who is this lady with you?”  I kept a calm gaze at him.

“This lady here is Fiona; the woman that is going to replace you.” Hearing that, I couldn't wrap my head around those words.

“Replace me? I don't understand.” I felt a sharp twist in my heart. 

“I will speak in plain terms, Stacy. I am ending this marriage.” Those words hit me like a dagger. It seemed like a joke.

“Five years of marriage? You can't mean that.” I looked into his eyes with pains all over my face. 

He smirked. “Haven't you heard? I have just been hired by Dragon Empire; a top company in this city. My salary a year is now thirty million dollars.” “Can't you see that we are not in the same class any more? Can't you see that I will be mocked when people see you and I together.”  “No hard feelings, Stacy. We are no more compatible.” I can't believe those words coming from him. 

“Are you leaving me because of your new position?” I widened my eyes.

“Yes. I realized I can't stay with a pauper like you any more. People like you will only drag me to the mud.” This was unbelievable.

“What?! I can't believe you would say this to me after our five years of marriage.” “I have been supportive and caring through these five years. When you had nothing, I stood by you. Where was this lady then?” I moved forward to touch him.

Only for him to jerk my hands off him. “Don’t you dare lay your filthy hands on me?” “You are just a freeloader and I am not interested in you anymore.” Fiona brought out some documents from her bag and handed it over to him.

“Stacy. This is where we end our five years journey. Sign the divorce papers.” Hearing that from the man I love so dearly broke my heart into pieces. For the five years of our marriage, I have been nothing but supportive and caring. 

“How can you be this cruel? Greg. Just because you got successful, the first thing you do is to divorce me after all the sacrifices?” My voice squeezed out in pain.

“I know your problem, Stacy and I am going to fix that for you. Out of my salary, I am going to pay you two million dollars for all the sacrifices. I believe this would start a life for you.” 

“I don't need your money, Greg. Now that you are successful, I believe we will enjoy it together.” 

Fiona cut into the conversation. “So your plan is to milk him after all. Greg is right for divorcing you.” “People of your class will only give him setbacks and nothing more.”
