Dumped By My Wife, Now A Single Father
Synopsis:
My name is Colton Ross, a devoted husband to Lisa Brown.
In a world where the poor are treated like animals, I tried my best to be a responsible husband. I begged my wife to stay with our son, who was diagnosed with pneumonia, but she refused. She brought in a rich man on our matrimonial bed and had sex while locking our son inside the wardrobe!
On our son's birthday, Lisa chose to serve me divorce papers, humiliating me for being broke and calling me a useless farmer. Not just that, Lisa disowned our son and warned us to stay away, as she is getting married to the new man she loves.
She left with all my savings, claiming that it's her right to take my assets after the divorce, and I'm left with nothing. That's all I have.
Without the savings, I'm unable to take care of Ray, and his health condition worsened until he landed in a coma.
Watching my son at the brink of death, my heart burned with anger and revenge on Lisa for causing me so much pain.
However, the life I hated changed unexpectedly when I met the female doctor in charge of my son's case.
She gave me a condition "Marry me and I will pay for your son's treatment "

Chapter: Chapter 008Colton's POVThe board meeting had been pushed back for weeks after Felix woke up. Maita wanted to give me enough time with Felix before handling the company affairs. Today was finally the day.I stood in front of the mirror and adjusted the dark suit Maita's stylist had chosen for me. I checked the collar, straightened my tie, and buttoned my jacket carefully. If I was going to walk into that room as Sterling Colton, I would at least make sure I looked like I belonged there.My new phone vibrated on the table, Maita had changed everything about me. Before I could reach for it, there was a knock on the door. Maita stepped inside, already dressed for the meeting. She carried a thin folder in one hand and a few photographs in the other.“We need to discuss something before we leave.”I turned toward her. “What is it?”She walked over and placed the photographs on the table. The first picture showed Lisa leaving a restaurant with a man. The next showed them together at a hotel, and ano

Chapter: Chapter 007Colton's POV. Lisa stood several feet away in the hallway near the entrance.She froze.I froze too.For a moment, neither of us moved.Her eyes traveled over me, then past my shoulder toward the open car door waiting outside.The driver stood beside it.Lisa's expression changed.Her gaze returned to me.And neither of us said a word.“Mr. Sterling!”The nurse's voice came from behind me, sharp enough to break the silence. I turned immediately, my eyes leaving Lisa's face. “Your son is awake!” I didn't wait for anything else. I rushed back toward Felix's ward, leaving Lisa standing where she was.I pushed the door open and found Felix sitting halfway up in the bed. His eyes were open, but they moved around the room without settling on anything. Both hands were pressed against the sides of his head, and his eyebrows were pulled together as though he was struggling to understand where he was.“Felix?” I moved closer. “Son, it's Daddy.” He didn't answer. I reached for his hand, but he

Chapter: Chapter 006Colton's POVThe next morning, I woke before the alarm on my phone. For a few seconds, I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, trying to remember where I was. Then everything from the previous day came rushing back.I sat up carefully, waiting for the ache in my ribs to settle before getting out of bed. The room was quiet, and the clothes someone had left for me were neatly arranged on a chair. I changed without paying much attention to them, then picked up my phone and called the hospital before leaving the estate.“Felix is stable,” the nurse told me. “He is still unconscious, but there hasn't been any major change.” I closed my eyes briefly and nodded. “I'm coming.” Those two words were all I could manage before ending the call.A driver was waiting outside when I stepped into the driveway. I stopped for a moment, looking at the car. It was another reminder that things had changed overnight, even though nothing that mattered to me had changed at all. I got into the back seat, gave the

Chapter: Chapter 005Colton's POVThe agreement was finalized before I could fully process what was happening. I sat across from Maita in the same office where I had begged her to save my son, a pen resting between my fingers as I stared at the pages in front of me. Every clause seemed strangely distant, as though I were reading about someone else's life. Marriage for one year. Separate personal lives. No interference with her business. In return, Felix's treatment would be covered. I signed where she pointed, my signature appearing beneath hers.When I placed the pen down, Maita collected the documents and checked the final page carefully. “It's done.” Her voice was as matter-of-fact as it had been throughout the entire arrangement. I nodded slowly, but my eyes remained on the papers. Done. Just like that, I was no longer simply Colton Ross, the farmer who had spent the day running through the city with his sick son on his back. I had become part of an agreement I never imagined signing.The lawyer si

Chapter: Chapter 004Colton's POV“Then become my husband.”For a few seconds, I couldn't move. Her words hung between us, and I stared at her as though waiting for her to take them back. Become her husband? My mind struggled to process what I had just heard, but my body reacted before my thoughts could catch up. My fingers tightened around the arm of the chair, and I remained silent, staring at the woman sitting across from me.Slowly, I tried to sit up straighter, but the movement sent a dull ache through my bruised ribs. I stopped halfway and gripped the chair harder until the pain eased. Only then did I remember the beating I had taken earlier. My entire body felt exhausted, my arms heavy, my legs almost too weak to carry me, yet Maita's proposal had somehow forced me to forget the pain for a moment.“Why me?” The question finally escaped my lips. My voice sounded rough and unfamiliar, even to me. I looked down at myself before meeting her eyes again. My clothes were dirty and wrinkled, my face st

Chapter: Chapter 003Colton's POV. Just then, Felix started gasping for breath. His face turned pale, and his lips went dry.Without wasting another minute, I carried him on my back as I ran from the village to the main city. Each step I took was filled with fear; my body shook in pain as I continued running.“Please, Felix. Just hang in there”I ran from house to house, seeking help. “My son is dying, help me”“Get out”“I don’t want any curse upon my family”“It seems his curse will kill his son just like it did to his parents. Poor child, he chose the wrong person to be his father”Hot tears streamed down my face; I’ve never hated my life in this way before. Are they telling the truth? Will this curse kill my son?“Arggh no!!” I fastened my pace. No matter how long it will take me, I must get to the main city.A journey of 2 hours by bus took me 3 hours of running as I missed the last bus.Upon arriving at the hospital, the Nurses rushed to help out. Felix lay on the bed, looking as pale as though all
