The Ultimate Husband

Synopsis: Edward was adopted when he was five years old—a dream come true for orphans. However, his life was anything but happy. His adoptive father was a scoundrel, always cheating, drinking, gambling, and abusing his spouse and Edward. After years of gambling and drinking, there was nothing left but countless debts and four pale walls in the house. Though weak and sometimes neurotic because of her husband, his adoptive mother always showed great love and affection to Edward. However, good things could never last long. Unfortunately, his adoptive mother soon fell ill when Edward was seventeen. His scoundrel father shunned the responsibility by deserting them and ran away. Edward had no other choice but to drop out of school and toil himself day and night in restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores. Yet, he could merely earn a little money that could not even support him to keep his head above water, not to mention pay his mother’s expensive medical expenses. One day, a chance came. One of his boss’s good friends offered him a better job as a salesman. Things seemed to go well for Edward. He got a girlfriend named Rebecca in his new company. He also had made a good friend, James, there. And above all, he got a better salary. However, something went wrong on the day he demonstrated the slide before his customers. Would he lose his job and come into the same plight again? Would his girlfriend be nice to him like before? Would Edward stay at the bottom rung of the social ladder forever? Read on to unravel Edward’s journey in this mundane world to become the extremely wealthy Supreme Trader with the help of his Super Trading System.

On the day their daughter died… Lyra chose to comfort another child. Brandon spent seven years loving a woman who slowly stopped loving him back. He endured the coldness, the humiliation, and the pain of watching another man and his son replace him and his daughter inside their own home. Still, he stayed. Because he believed that even if Lyra no longer loved him… she would always love Maggie. He was wrong. On Maggie’s sixth birthday, Lyra abandoned her sick daughter to celebrate another child instead. When Maggie collapsed in Brandon’s arms, Lyra still refused to believe the truth. “You used your own daughter to manipulate me!” she screamed in disgust. Meanwhile, Maggie’s tiny body trembled violently as her failing heart slowly gave up. “Lyra… please…” Brandon begged brokenly. “I’ll kneel if I have to. Just take us to the hospital…” But Lyra looked at her dying daughter with cold disappointment. “I’m ashamed of both of you.” Then she abandoned them on the side of the highway. As Brandon desperately carried his little girl toward the hospital, Maggie smiled weakly through her tears. “Daddy… don’t cry anymore. When I reach Heaven, I’ll ask God to send someone who will love you better than Mommy did.” Moments later, her tiny hand slipped away forever. That was the moment Brandon Hale died too. The gentle husband who forgave everything disappeared forever, replaced by a man driven only by grief, revenge, and the truth behind his wife’s betrayal. But when Lyra finally realizes the horrifying mistake she made… It’s already too late. “Brandon… I’m sorry…” she sobbed at his feet. “I never wanted Maggie to die…” Brandon stepped away from her trembling hands, his eyes empty and cold. “It’s too late.”
