Attracted By My Ex-wife

"I don't have any money. I already gave you a lot. I thought last time would be the final time you asked. I'm not giving you any more,"

Cherry said angrily to the man on the other end of the phone.

She didn't have any feelings for her so-called father—other than hatred, that was.

Her "father" only threatened her and forced her to give him money.

"Fine. Turn me down. And then I'll expose who you really are, my lovely illegitimate daughter. What do you think Kevin will do when he finds out? Do you think he'll still want you?"

The man on the other end of the phone started fuming when Cherry refused to give him money. So, like he always did, he turned to threats.

"Why do you always try to scare me with this? Can't you just leave me alone?"

Cherry sat on the bed dejectedly. Her long hair was messy, and she looked quite embarrassed.

"Leave you alone? Why would I do that? You're such a cash cow. I need a meal ticket and you're it," he sneered.

Cherry wanted to kill him right now.

Thanks to him, she had been carefully hiding her identity. He was right. If Kevin found out she wasn't rich, but instead born out of wedlock, who knew what he might do?

"I really am strapped for cash. I gave you a cool million last time, didn't I? I'm not made of money!"

Every penny Kevin gave her went to her nominal father. What more did the man want? And how far was he willing to go to get it?

"I don't care. I need at least two million this time. If you don't give me the money, I'll tell Kevin everything."

The man on the other end of the phone didn't care about her at all. He only wanted money.

She wanted to say something more, but he had already hung up. Hearing the telltale "click," Cherry was so angry that she threw the phone at the wall.

The relationship between her and Kevin was tense enough. If her so-called father told Kevin her real identity, he might even dump her.

What should she do? What should she do!

How could she get two million?

By the time Kevin got back to the villa, it was dark, and he was exhausted. When he got to Cherry's room, he intended to simply walk past it. But then he thought of her sad eyes. His heart softened.
