My Husband Buried Our Kids. So I Buried His Legacy. Fair Trade. Chapter 02
Ten seconds. Lucian sent a question mark.
I didn’t answer. He messaged again.
[I’ll have the divorce papers sent over. If you want to make a scene, fine. We’re done.]
I typed one word:
[Fine.]
The chat showed “Lucian is typing…” for a while. Then nothing.
So I sent him the screenshots. Mira’s Disney photos. The medical report. All of it.
[Lucian. She killed our kids, didn’t she?]
Red exclamation point.
He blocked me.
I went back to Instagram. Mira’s posts were gone. Just one dry apology left.
[A patient’s family took us out to thank us for saving their kid. We drank too much and played games. I lost and picked truth or dare. The family member told me to pick someone there and post that stuff.]
[Dr. Drake only went along to protect my feelings. Sorry for the bad impression.]
A crying cat GIF underneath.
Lucian commented:
[Don’t worry, Mira. I’ve got your back. No one’s going to bully you.]
Replies poured in:
[We all knew it was a joke. The family insisted on that stupid game. What were we supposed to do?]
[“Someone”? Is she talking about Dr. Drake’s wife? Poor guy. Stuck with a crazy wife. Losing the kids was bad luck—but she keeps blaming Dr. Drake and Mira, making scenes at the hospital every day.]
[Dr. Drake looks so hot when he’s being protective.]
I laughed. No warmth in it.
Screenshot every name. Added them all to the list.
…
Nine years ago, I built this hospital. For Lucian. From the ground up.
I put in every cent I had. Pulled every connection I could. Got him on magazine covers. Got him into every committee that mattered.
Now? He’s the hospital’s biggest star. Everyone kisses his ass. And Mira—his “star protégé”—rides right along with him.
Me? I’m the hospital’s largest investor. And they walk all over me.
Because they think I can’t survive without Lucian. That the hospital falls apart without him.
They forget one thing—
Without me, Lucian wouldn’t even be half of what he is.
I could make ten more Lucian Drakes. They really think I can’t?
