My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Lester had never loved my mother. I did not know the truth at that time, but even then I could tell.

He wanted a son and would taunt my mother for not being capable of bearing another child, for not being woman enough. He never asked for another child directly because he was afraid of my grandfather. Afterall all his power and positions had been his dowry.

My grandparents passed away when I was seven. After that, my father became a real asshole. He never comforted my mother for her loss. Sure, he put on several shows publicly but privately he seemed to be celebrating.

He practically ignored me after that.

He forced my mother to be pregnant and after a year, she had conceived her second child despite her ill health and risks to her life.

But my father seemed to be having an affair. I had seen him with Rose with my own eyes. I just did not know what it meant at that time.

Because Rose also got pregnant at the same time, my father mixed abortifacients on my mother’s supplements. Someone told me that it meant she ate bad medicine which would take my little sibling away.

She miscarried and brought me here to recover.

I met you. You looked so beautiful but so sad that I wanted to wash away all your grief.

I kissed you and told you I would make you happy without actually realizing what I was talking about.

That was the best week of my life after my grandparent’s death.

After I went back home, I realized a serious problem. I did not know anything about you, so how could I be a good wife and make you happy. I did not know what you needed. So, I got trained in everything including housework – cooking, cleaning, hand-washing the clothes, drying, scrubbing the dishes, polishing the shoes, gardening, everything.

This was in addition to the other training I was going through, now secretly, as the Petrova heir.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

I guess Mom must have gone to your family for betrothal. I had no idea.

A few months later Mom suddenly fell and was taken to the hospital. She passed away.

A few weeks later Lester brought a very pregnant Rose and Rose’s daughter Lydia home and married her.

She moved me to the servant’s quarter and piled a lot of housework on me. Because I had been learning it anyway and wanted to continue, I simply did that without complaints. I had formed a good bond with all the servants at home, so they protected me. I was never as miserable as the Apices wanted me to be.

A few weeks later Rose gave birth to a baby and they brought him home.

But I knew in my heart that he was my brother. He loved me. Even as a few days old, he would cry whenever Rose, Lester, or Lydia picked him up.

But he would smile immediately on seeing me or hearing my voice.
