The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 1


    The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 1


    Twenty-six-year-old Leon Wolf was a married man whose dishonor was well-known across Springfield


    City. He lived with his wife’s family—the Mansons—and was treated like a ve during his three-year


    marriage. Dignity was something foreign to him, but he finally had enough of it one fateful night! For the


    past three years, he worked like a horse in the Mansons’pany every single day, yet his sry had


    to be handed over to his wife Marilyn whom he could not even get without touching distance.By the


    time he came home at night, he had to doundry, mop, cook, and do all sorts of housework. Still, he


    worked hard withoutining.He thought that doing all that would allow him to prove his worth to


    his wife and convince her to stay with him until they grew old, but what he received in exchange was a


    big gift—a baby!His wife—whom he never once had the chance to get within touching distance of—was


    pregnant, and he was about to be a father!Would anyone consider that good news, though?“Is it that


    hard to wash the clothes clean or mop the floor well, Leon? You’re useless! Can’t you do anything


    right? Why should we let you stay with us when a dog would’ve done better than you?”…The harsh


    words came from Leon’s mother-inw, Helen Manson. She pointed a finger at his face while she


    chastised him like there was no tomorrow.Leon looked up, and his eyes were bloodshot due to


    anger.“Helen!” Leon gritted his teeth and suppressed the voice in his throat.“Don’t call me by my first


    name. You’re not worthy to be addressing me like that!”Helen had an expression of disgust and


    contempt.Leon remained silent and refrained from talking back.Three years ago, he happened to


    chance upon the Mansons’ patriarch when thetter’s illness acted up all of a sudden.Elder Manson,


    as he was known, was carried to the hospital on Leon’s back for about eight miles or so. The old man


    received treatment in time and was thus saved by Leon’s kindness.Elder Manson probably felt it


    prudent to repay the favor by marrying off his granddaughter, Marilyn, to Leon. Everyone else in the


    family opposed it, but the old man turned a deaf ear to them.Since then, Leon stayed with Mansons for


    three years.Three years!Even the coldest of people would warm up to someone in those three years,


    but it was impossible to do anything with that bitter mother-daughter duo!Marilyn and her family looked


    down on him from the bottom of their hearts simply because he was an orphan with zero prospects andOriginal content from N?velDrama.Org.


    no family background.Despite his best efforts, Marilyn and the others continued to nitpick, smack, and


    scold him at every turn.Elder Manson was the only person in the entire family who treated him


    well.When Elder Manson was around to protect him, his mother-inw Helen was able to restrain


    herself—but only a little.Ever since Elder Manson passed away from illness a month ago, Helen and


    everyone else had practically stepped up their efforts to drive him away.He became a redundant


    existence in the family and spent his days being treated worse than a dog…The room door swung


    open and Marilyn walked in, reeking of alcohol. d in fashionable clothes and ck silk stockings, the


    gait of her long legs and her seductively blushing face was irresistible to almost every man.Since she


    was back, Leon looked up at her and felt a surge of pain from his aching heart. He could not fathom


    how she could bring herself to go out for some drinks even when she was pregnant!Leon’s first instinct


    was to head up and support her, but Marilyn immediately shoved him away.“Hands off me! Pack up


    your stuff right now and get the hell out of here. We’re getting a divorce at the Civil Records Office


    tomorrow!” “What! Why?!”At that point, Helen showed up and began cursing at Leon as soon as she


    saw him standing there in a faze.“What are you doing, Leon? Bring over a basin of water and start


    washing Lulu’s feet!”Helen walked over to Marilyn with a doting expression on her face. She then held


    the woman’s hand in the gentlest of manners and asked worried, “Why are you drinking so much


    alcohol? It’s not good for the baby. You’ve put in so much effort to finally get pregnant with Brody’s son,


    so you mustn’t let anything happen to him.”She already looked forward to having a grandson even


    though the baby was still months ahead of the due date because only a boy would give her daughter a


    chance to be Brody’s wife. The only reason she kept Leon around was that she was unsure about


    the baby’s gender—after all, someone needed to take care of her daughter, and a babysitter would cost


    extra money.“Don’t bother washing my feet! I’ve suffered enough from your uselessness for the past


    three years, Leon! Let’s get divorced tomorrow!”Marilyn looked at Leon with a cold, arrogant, and


    contemptuous expression.Leon immediately felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. He


    knew that he was not worthy of Marilyn, and yet he continued to work hard and endure everything for


    three years in the hopes of getting Marilyn’s approval.Little did he know that he would receive a request


    for divorce in exchange for all his hard work!“You’re right!” Helen understood soon enough. “After all,


    we have Brody’s child now, and it’s going to tarnish our reputation if news gets out that he’s still living


    with us.”“I’m tired. Could you walk me to my room so I can rest? The sight of this idiot disgusts


    me!”Marilyn stroked her stomach tenderly and began worrying whether other women around Brody


    would try to interfere with them once her belly got bigger. As Helen helped Marilyn into the room, she


    took a jibe at Leon, “Why are you still here? Are you going to stay around and take care of a baby that


    isn’t yours?”In that split second, humiliation, anger, and a plethora of other negative emotions began to


    overwhelm Leon’s heart. He felt like an abandoned stray that was chased out mercilessly from its


    home. All his belongings from the three years of marriage—including his ID Card—were thrown into the


    trash can, and Leon’s strongest emotion right then was that of bitter disappointment.He was


    homeless.In those three years, his earnings from work were handed in full to his mother-inw and he


    was never given a single cent. He was the same as a wild dog.Leon wandered on the street and ended


    up at a cemetery, where he felt the cold air within the darkness.He stood in front of a tombstone with a


    lonely expression and widened eyes, but not a single tear was shed.He did not know whether to feel


    anger, despair, or disappointment.He looked silently at the tombstone of thete Elder Manson, the


    only person who protected him and took care of him during those three years. After being kicked out of


    the house, Leon felt to pay his respects to the old man onest time.Although the purpose of his visit


    was to pay his respects, he did not have any money on him and could not even afford to buy the


    cheapest flowers.“Thank you for taking care of me during these three years, Sir…“I’m going to divorce


    Marilyn tomorrow…“I failed to live up to your expectations…”Leon’s eyes were red. He knelt in the dark


    of the night and bowed to Elder Manson’s tombstone several times in a row. It was difficult to put the


    bitterness and sadness in his heart into words.Once he paid his respects, he took a pendant, held it in


    his hand, and sat nkly on the ground with his back against the tombstone.Unbeknownst to Leon, the


    pendant seemed to glow with white light, almost as if it could sense the anger and humiliation within


    him…
