that you’re entitled to a lot less before you plan to
seek any legal advice. On the country I believe I was quite
generous, it’s your choice to accept or not my dear, but you
won’t get another cent from me. You and your blackmailing
antics are the reason for this. Do you know I have never loved
you, once I found out what you were and as far as I am aware
still are? How many more husbands will you cheat out of their
families and fortune hey? You’ll get nothing more from me.
Now get the hell out of my house and let me die with some
dignity. The biggest mistake I made was meeting such a money
grabbing bitch like you. But rest assured one fine day you’ll be
exposed for your indiscretions.”
“You can’t
do this to me Wilhelm. I am after all your wife, and
we have a daughter together. What about Benjamin our disable
son? The one you’re so keen to hide away from this world?
What about him?”
Wilhelm could feel his temper rising but was too weak to get
into a long debate about his son.
“Benjamin is indeed my son and he will receive the
best care
available. I’ve never hidden him from this world, my dear that
was you. Before I fell ill Benjamin and I went fishing every
weekend. I know his likes, his dislikes, and he has come on
remarkably over the last several years. Something you’ve not
even taken the time to find out. According to the hospital you
haven’t visited him in over four long years, not even on his
birthdays. You simply forgot about him. I never did and I don’t
have to explain to you that I have a very healthy father son
relationship with my son. I think you’ll find that our daughter
doesn’t belong to the both of us. I had a paternity test upon her
birth, as I did with Benjamin. The reason for this is because I
never had any trust in you and my suspicions were correct when
the test revealed that Bonnie was not mine. I had a second
paternity test just to make sure. All this time I’ve raised another
man’s child and I’ve kept this to myself up until now because
me and my lawyers as well as my private investigators have
been building a case on you that will in effect entitle you to
nothing more of mine, except the nine miserable years I’ve been
married to you, and I think you will find the cheque over
compensates you for that.”
“You bastard Wil
helm, I hate you. I’ve always despised you
and your horrible siblings. So in simple terms what you’re
trying to inform me is that I’m worth a measly two million per
year in this joke of a marriage? I should have gone for Senator
Gordon while I had the chance, at least he had no wife, no
children, and it would have been so much easier. I hear now
he’s been accepted for vice presidency. My life would have
panned out so much better I believe. However, instead of the
senator I was tipped to meet you, an English architect new to the
states, who had many successes in Europe and to my great
surprise here also. That’s the reason I stuck this marriage out,
much to my disappointment, you couldn’t even perform in bed
as you’d get so drunk on the whisky. I was hoping if the tumor
doesn’t kill you, the whisky would sooner or later.”
Summoning every little bit of energy he had from his weak body
he couldn’t resist the urge to rub it in a little further.
“You’re
one nasty piece of work Felicity; rest assured you’ll
receive your karma very soon. I’m glad I won’t be setting eyes
on you again, not in this life and hopefully not the next. As we
speak, I’ve arranged for several associates of mine to collect
your belongings. Just to let you know I’ve already allowed them
access, so I suggest you let them know where to place your
personal belongings. As far as I’m aware they have no
forwarding address and they have my strict instructions to
dispose as they see fit.”
With this Felicity raced t
o the window to check that he wasn’t
bluffing her as she honestly believed that he was
