Chapter 160 Explanation (Two)

• “Naturally, I did not believe her one bit, and I was desperate to keep the fact that I had cheated from my wife, so I warned her to stay away from me. I believed that she was crazy, and soon after that, I moved away from that city and did not hear from her again, which was just as well as far as I was concerned. Seven years later, she showed up out of the blues and began to harass me, showing up at my factories and offices and seeking an audience with me by every means possible. This time, she was using drugs heavily and was desperate for a fix. She began to blackmail me, saying she would go to my wife and tell her everything. Since I was a hundred percent sure that I wasn’t the one who got her pregnant, I asked for a paternity test, which shockingly, proved I was the father. I was devastated, as any man would be. I finally had it all … a happy family and a booming business, and now my happy family was going to crumble. The major problem was how I was going to inform my wife of this. I knew it was going to hurt her more than anything else, considering that we could not have children.
• Your mother told me that I did not have to worry about it and that she was not going to let my wife know about it, provided that I gave her half of my net worth. She was going to disappear and would never bother me again. I did that without the knowledge of my wife, until three years later when your mother came back. What she used 500 million dollars to do in those days is beyond me. That money was to be your inheritance, you, and your brother. She said she needed more money … half of my net worth again, or she was going to tell my wife. I offered to buy a house for all of you, pay child support, and come see you and your brother once in a while, but I wanted absolutely nothing to do with your mother. Your mother said that it was either I divorced my wife and we all lived as a happy family, or she will take you both away forever. I told her she was crazy and that I would never divorce my wife.
• This got her angry and she somehow found a way to inform my wife about it. That almost caused the end of our marriage. My wife could not believe that I had been lying to her for all those years, and the shock of it was enough to land her in the hospital. We got through it and she made me promise not to keep any more secrets from her. She asked your mother to let you kids live with us and that she would take care of you both as though you were hers, but your mother said she will rather die than do that.”
