Married to the President novel Chapter 3

Lu Jingli's lawyer walked into the hospital ward and stood before Theresa Mo. He pulled a seat and sat on it.

  Opening his portfolio he brought out the divorce papers. "Ms Mo, please sign this paper and end your marriage with my client"The lawyer instructed.

  Theresa Mo doesn't know if she's to smile or weep. Lu Jingli is really a beast. He couldn't even let her out of the hospital before bringing the papers to her.

   "What if I refused to sign?" Theresa Mo asked. What would Lu Jingli and his mother do if she refuses to sign a divorce paper? 

  Her marriage would remain thereby preventing him from being with Tiana Mo. He can't possibly force her considering he was the one who actually drugged her.

  "Then you will force my client to take drastic action and go public with your adulterous lifestyle. Remember you are an illegitimate daughter and your mother's past life would be dug out" the lawyer replied with a disgusting tone.

  Theresa Mo felt her heart beat almost skip. She had always lived her life in contrast to her mother's. Her mother was said to have had her out of wedlock. 

  But when her parents decided to be married, her mother got hit by a reckless driver and she couldn't survive. Hence she remained an illegitimate daughter.

  She was three when her father married Molly Mo and they had Tiana a year later. She had grown under the tutelage of her stepmother.

  While her father was still alive, Molly Mo put up with her. She didn't show her hatred towards her nor did she care about her. They lived together and had no issues all these years until her father died.

   When her father's will was read and it shows that he divided his wealth equally between his two daughters, Molly Mo was mad.

  How could Zongtian Mo have given Theresa the same share of his property with Tiana? The latter was an illegitimate daughter and she had been kind enough to accommodate her in the house and let her bear the Mo surname.

  But having equal rights with her daughter was going the extreme and she would never accept it. She was going to deal with Theresa until she was satisfied with her revenge.

  "Ms Mo, sign the papers"the lawyer urged her. He seemed to be in a hurry and didn't understand what was making Theresa lost in thought.

  Theresa raised herself carefully to sit down without affecting the infusion passed into her hand. He collected the golden pen from the lawyer's outstretched hand.

  The paper reads that she is Never to return to pick a needle in her matrimonial home neither does she own any more of those shares in her father's Company.

  Her property was compensation to Lu Jingli for being cuckolded. Theresa Mo's hands shook when she read the condition attached to the divorce papers.

   She sighed softly and stilled her irrational breathing and signed the papers. She signed the papers to the end of her wealth and properties, she just signed herself into a life of poverty.

  The lawyer saw her sign and handed the papers to him. He collected it and placed them back into his portfolio and then raised his head and smiled for the first time since he entered Theresa.

  "I wish you a great life Ms Mo and ehhm have a good day" the lawyer said and stood up walking out of the hospital ward.

  Theresa Mo watched him leave and her tears gave way down her cheeks. She had been ruined. Her life has become empty and void.

   She is empty. No parents, no husband. She thought she had a sister but alas, she's a green snake under a green grass. Where is her home, who are her people? Where does she turn for help?
