Became A Queen After divorce

Suddenly, the shabby cloth curtain was pulled aside, letting in the outside light.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

A man at the doorway, with lewd and depraved eyes, stared at her, his gaze filled with amazement.

“Whistle–”

The newcomer couldn’t help but let out a loud whistle and began to praise her.

Ruth looked up and saw a burly man standing there, with a body as strong as an ox, and tattoos on his arms that immediately signalled he was no good.

“What a great figure, why hide it? Take your hands away and let me have a good look.”

“Ahhh!”

Ruth, scared out of her wits, immediately covered her chest with her hands and retreated backward, her sharp screams echoing far away.

“Who are you? Why have you barged into my home? Get out!”

Her reaction amused the man. Instead of leaving as she wished, he took big steps forward, approaching her.

His fat face was full of fleshy folds, and his gaze was as fierce as a cruel hunter’s.

“Hahaha, this whole area is under my control. It’s okay if you don’t know me, but I know you.”

“Your name is Ruth, you’re Ryan’s sister, right?”

“Your brother lost $6, 000 gambling at my place yesterday. He told me to come to you for the money.”

Hearing this, Ruth’s body instantly froze in place, a chill crawling up from her feet to her head.

She was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

Taking a deep breath, she answered an irrelevant question.

“Ryan… is my brother, yes.”

But he’s not her biological brother.

Ruth’s mother, Louisa, had her first husband, who was a drug addict.

After Ruth was born, the man was beaten to death for stealing, and his body was thrown into the Coltos River.

Louisa took her daughter to the city alone, spending years in hardship.

In a factory, she met her second husband.

The man claimed to be a clothing wholesaler and deceived Louisa into marrying him.

Only after the marriage did Louisa realize she had been tricked!

The man was not a clothing wholesaler at all but a thorough rascal.

Drinking, fighting, whoring, stealing, he did it all.

When he had no money, he would use Ruth’s life as a threat, forcing Louisa to sell her body.

And he comfortably acted as her pimp.

During the day, the rented house was filled with the sound of the stepfather beating the mother;

At night, it was another scene unsuitable for children.

To prevent her daughter from interfering with her work, Louisa would tie her up and stuff her in the closet.

This life continued until Ruth was thirteen.

One day, the stepfather suddenly extended his dirty hands to her, lightly pinching her buttocks and asking if she had started menstruating.

Ruth was terrified and did not want to live a life like her mother’s, so she persuaded her mother to leave the man.

To not leave any clues, Ruth and her mother tricked the man to the Coltos River, then knocked him out when he was not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, the boat they were on sprang a leak. The mother and daughter only cared about escaping themselves, leaving the unconscious man to drown as the boat sank.

Louisa, after experiencing so much suffering, did not get to live her dream life but ended up with various occupational diseases.

She completely saw through reality and quickly married an honest man.

The third husband was named Saul, a regular customer Louisa had met while she was a prostitute.

From physical and emotional exchanges, Louisa knew his name was Saul, living in the slums.

He had married a wife in his youth, who unfortunately died during childbirth, leaving behind a son named Ryan, one year younger than Ruth.

Saul was a poor man who made a living by picking up trash. To afford being with Louisa for a night, he usually had to collect trash for a month.

However, he was quite loyal, as he never saw other women after meeting her.

After careful consideration, Louisa resolutely decided to marry again.

The condition was that the man should not interfere with her daughter’s education unless Ruth herself did not want to study anymore.

Suddenly having a pretty woman willing to marry him, Saul was thrilled.

He readily agreed to Louisa’s modest request.

It was the third time her mother married, and this time to a penniless man, despite Ruth’s strong opposition, she had no say over her mother.

Thus, Ruth followed her mother from the crowded alley to this foul-smelling junk yard.

Luckily, the second stepfather did not interfere with her freedom nor beat her, allowing her to successfully enter school and get into college.

The only thing she despised was the stepfather’s son, Ryan.

That bastard had been up to no good since childhood, a trickster and fraud, who recently got hooked on gambling and often stayed out all night.

Any bit of money at home would be extorted by him forcefully.

Even though Saul wanted to discipline his unworthy son, he was incompetent to do so.

Louisa, in her capacity as a stepmother, remained silent and compliant in the household.

“That bastard is getting more outrageous. Why do I have to repay his gambling debt? I’m not even his real sister. You should go find him!”

The man’s next words truly made Ruth’s heart sink to despair.

“No one around here dares to owe me, Ibrahim, anything and not repay. Before coming here, I already found Ryan.”

“He has no money to repay me, but your mother signed this!”

While speaking, the fat man pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. The title read, “Debt Repayment Agreement.”

The content stated that the $6, 000 Ryan owed at the casino would be repaid by Ruth within the next three days.

If it exceeded three days, the $6, 000 would double to $60, 000.

The signature section clearly bore her mother’s name, Louisa.

The crooked handwriting was unmistakably her mother’s.

Ruth looked unbelievingly at the agreement in his hand, snatched it away, and tore it into pieces, scattering them in the air.

“Impossible, I don’t believe it! You must be lying to me. There’s no way my mom would agree to such an absurd agreement!”

Tearing up the agreement did not bring her any relief, but rather… more sorrow.

The man watched her frantic actions without any reaction, the smile on his face turning to anticipation.

“Go ahead and tear it, this is just a copy. I still have the original.”

“You!”

“What about me? Your mom voluntarily signed this agreement,” the man said coldly.

He took big steps towards Ruth, grabbed her hair, and dragged her up from the ground, forcing her to look at him.

His greasy, fat hands caressed her beautiful face, then he squeezed her slender neck hard, his threat clear.

“Remember, you have only one month. If you can’t come up with the money in one month, I’ll sell you to a nightclub to be a prostitute!”

With that, he threw Ruth to the ground, turned around, lifted the curtain, and walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, a small, skinny boy greeted him with a nod and a bow.

He was none other than Ruth’s half-brother-Ryan.
