My Husband Won $30 Million in the Lottery and Immediately Moved in with His Mistress The man who had been living off my income suddenly wanted me to leave with nothing but the clothes on my back. When I refused, he started smearing my reputation online. His actions caused my father to have a heart attack, and he just stood by and watched him die. Then, I was tortured to death by thugs he hired. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day he bought the lottery ticket. I looked at Lucas, who was about to leave, and smiled, “Honey, I’ll go with you.” He looked at me suspiciously, “What for?” Hearing his words, I narrowed my eyes. In my previous life, on this day, he went out and bought a lottery ticket, unexpectedly winning $30 million. That same day, he brought his mistress home and asked for a divorce. The man who usually acted meek and played the role of a stay-at-home husband at home became unbridled once he had money. He hired the best lawyers at a high price, trying to make me leave with nothing. He even posted my phone number and address online. Some radical netizens found my home, terrorizing me by smashing windows and banging on doors at night. They even placed funeral wreaths at my door. I was too scared to leave the house. When my father went to confront him, he saw Lucas being intimate with his mistress. Already suffering from heart disease, the shock was too much, and he collapsed on the spot. Lucas watched my father take his last breath without lifting a finger to help. I didn’t even get to see my father one last time. When I was on the brink of a mental breakdown, Lucas brought five thugs to invade my home. “If only you had agreed to the divorce from the start,” he said. “I wouldn’t have had to go this far.” “Fiona is pregnant, and I can’t let our child be born out of wedlock.” With that, he turned and left the room. After my death, he and his mistress lived in my house, spent my money, had a son, and lived happily ever after. They never worked a day in their lives, living off my fortune. Meanwhile, they claimed I had committed suicide, and that was the end of it. Heaven gave me a chance to relive my life. This time, I’ll make them pay for what they’ve done! I placed my hand on Lucas’s arm and looked up at him. “I promised my fans I’d buy some lottery tickets as giveaway prizes,” I said. “They all say I’m lucky to have such a good husband, and they want to borrow some of my luck.” “I just asked Fiona to bring the car over. The three of us can go together.” Being so close, I clearly felt his body stiffen. I knew that today was his anniversary with Fiona, and they had planned to spend it together. He hadn’t expected me to tag along. Pretending not to notice, I continued, “You don’t smoke, don’t drink, and you’re faithful.” “I must be the luckiest woman alive.” In reality, I thought, I must have the worst luck in the world to meet someone like you, who not only destroys my family but also steals my property. “Well, you’d better keep me close then, so other women don’t get any ideas,” he said, gently holding my hand. I felt a wave of disgust and casually shook off his hand. How was I so blind to fall for him in my previous life? Not only was he a freeloader, but he actually thought he was such a catch that everyone wanted him. Just as we reached the ground floor, Fiona pulled up in her car. “Rose, Lucas, hop in!” she called out.
Fiona was wearing an apricot-colored dress today, making her look stunningly beautiful. It seemed Fiona had put a lot of effort into their anniversary celebration. In my previous life, it took me a long time to find out. Lucas and Fiona had grown up together as childhood sweethearts. She was lively, cheerful, and gentle as water, always ready with a compliment, which greatly satisfied Lucas’s vanity. At home with me, he played the role of a dependent husband, but with Fiona, he was a hardworking man fighting his way in the world. When I was busy with work and needed to hire an assistant, he even recommended his “cousin” Fiona. When I was around, they were “cousins.” When I wasn’t… Lucas never dared to mention divorce to me. Because I had money, and he had no job, no source of income, he had to swallow his pride and please me for the sake of money. The look in Lucas’s eyes as he gazed at Fiona was full of infatuation, so obvious! How blind I was in my previous life! I pretended to be jealous, “Honey, you’re looking at Fiona like she’s a piece of candy.” “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you two were a couple.” My words caused a flash of panic in their eyes. Fiona waved her hands frantically, “Rose, don’t joke like that. Lucas is my cousin.” “Is that so?” I said. My gaze moved between the two of them, my tone flat as I got into the car. My question left them both squirming uncomfortably. The car ride was extremely quiet. Lucas kept glancing at me, his lips moving. But in the end, he said nothing. “Fiona, how long have you been working as my assistant?” I suddenly asked, breaking the silence in the car. I clearly saw both Fiona and Lucas stiffen, unsure if they were startled by my sudden question or if it was their guilty conscience. “Th-three years,” Fiona stuttered. Fiona had been my assistant for three years, and Lucas’s mistress for three years. And I had been kept in the dark for three whole years! I didn’t say anything, but Lucas couldn’t sit still. He spoke urgently, “Why are you asking about this? Fiona works hard and has taken good care of both of us.” Seeing how desperately he was trying to defend Fiona, I found it amusing. I remembered how Lucas had brought Fiona to me in my previous life. “Honey, Fiona is my cousin. Her parents passed away, so I need to take care of her.” “Sister-in-law, Lucas is my only family now. I’ll work hard for you, I promise.” The way they called each other ‘cousin’ sounded so sincere back then. As the car stopped, I turned my head and stared intently into Lucas’s eyes. A flash of panic crossed his eyes before it was quickly replaced by a smile. I smiled and said, “Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that since Fiona has been with us for three years, it might be time for a raise.” “I didn’t expect you two to react so strongly.” I pushed open the car door and got out before either of them, heading straight for the lottery store. “Boss, give me all the tickets with the number 7 in them. I’ll take them all,” I said. The shop owner looked confused. “That’s quite a lot. Are you sure you want them all?” I nodded firmly. Lucas, who had followed closely behind, heard this and came over to pat my shoulder. I shifted away, feeling disgusted. “I was thinking of buying one with a 7 today too. Can I have one, honey?” he asked. “No,” I replied without hesitation. There was no way I was going to give him a chance to win $30 million again. My whole family’s lives depended on it. The smile on Lucas’s face froze. Fiona stepped in to smooth things over, pulling out five dollars. “Lucas, I think tickets with 8 are good too. Eight sounds like ‘prosper’, right?” “Sounds good,” he replied. The two exchanged a sweet glance, making me feel sick. “Lucas, how about it? Did you win?” Fiona asked. Lucas held his head and sighed softly, shaking his head. In my previous life, when they went out to celebrate their anniversary, Fiona suggested buying a lottery ticket for fun. Unexpectedly, they won $30 million. Lucas immediately saw Fiona as his lucky charm and proudly brought her to me to show off. Now, the $30 million lottery ticket is in my hands. Whatever happens next is up to me. The next day, I went to claim the prize with the ticket. After taxes, there was still $24 million left. I transferred all of it to my father’s bank account. Just in case. I was afraid Lucas might check my account balance when I wasn’t paying attention. In my previous life, I had earned quite a bit from my social media work, so I used to give Lucas $50,000 every month. It was meant to cover his expenses for staying at home and taking care of me instead of working. Ever since we started dating and even after we got married, Lucas had never had a job. He would say things like, “Honey, my colleagues always isolate me. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.” “Honey, you work outside, I’ll be your supportive partner at home.” “I love cooking and doing laundry for you. It makes me so happy.” Back then, I was so blinded by his sweet talk that I kept supporting him. And he had the nerve to use my money to keep a mistress! Every time I think about this, I shake with anger. When I got home, I saw Lucas and Fiona sitting at opposite ends of the sofa. Fiona’s hair was slightly messy, and her lipstick was smudged. Both of their clothes were wrinkled. I could only imagine how intense things had been between them before I arrived. I wondered if they had gone all the way. I hope Lucas didn’t get too scared. “R-Rose, weren’t you supposed to be shooting a commercial?” Fiona stammered. “Yeah, honey, why are you back so soon? Why didn’t you tell me to pick you up?” Lucas added. Looking at the panic on their faces, I found it quite amusing. “Oh, they suddenly canceled the shoot,” I said. I took a couple of steps, then suddenly turned back, “What were you two doing just now? You both seem out of breath.” The two on the sofa froze. After a long moment, Lucas finally spoke. “We were just doing some exercises, that’s why we’re so tired.” I nodded as if suddenly understanding, then went into the bedroom. I opened my phone and registered a new TikTok account, posting: “Can you believe it? I won a $30 million lottery ticket in a giveaway!” I tagged myself in the post. I invested a lot of money to promote this post, just to make sure Lucas would see it. As expected, the post went viral. During lunch, Lucas’s expression was very gloomy. “You saw that post about your fan winning $30 million in the giveaway, right?” I nodded slightly, lowering my head to sip my soup. My indifferent attitude successfully angered him. He slammed his rice bowl on the ground, shattering it. Furious, he shouted, “That lottery ticket, I saw it! It was the one I asked you for!” “If you had given it to me then, I would have won the $30 million!” “That money should have been mine!” Looking at his angry face, I found it laughable. “I bought it first, why should I have given it to you?” “We’re… we’re married!” he sputtered. Now he remembers we’re married. Where was this thought when he caused my father’s death and ruined my life? “I don’t care. The winner should have been me. Go and get that ticket back,” he demanded, seeming to have lost his mind, shouting wildly. I ignored him and went back to the bedroom. Lucas made a phone call in the living room. No need to guess, it must be Fiona on the other end. After feeling wronged by me, he was running back to his comfort zone. I wanted to push him to the edge. After all, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. No wonder he’s so anxious, because at this moment, Fiona had found out she was pregnant. In my previous life, it was also around this time, but I found out a bit later. Lucas now desperately wants to divorce me. If we don’t divorce, his child with Fiona will be born out of wedlock, and they’ll always face the risk of me finding out and kicking them out. But right now, he has no job and no money. His only source of income is what I give him. That’s why he was so angry when he saw the fan win $30 million. In his eyes, that lottery ticket should have belonged to him. He had asked me for it first, but I didn’t give it to him. It wasn’t just $30 million, it was his leverage to ask me for a divorce. While Lucas was out, I installed hidden cameras in inconspicuous corners of the house. I picked up my phone and made a call, “That show, I want to participate.” I slept the entire afternoon in my room. When I woke up, I found that Lucas had returned, and Fiona was here too. The bowl he had smashed at noon had been cleaned up, and now they were in the kitchen making dinner. Seeing me come out, Fiona hurried over and took my hand, “Rose, Lucas didn’t mean it this afternoon. He told me he was just too angry.” “Please don’t hold it against him.” I pulled my hand away and sat down at the dining table, resting my chin on my hand. I smiled, “I’m not holding it against him. Winning or losing is all about luck.” “I guess Lucas just wasn’t lucky.” He really wasn’t lucky. Who told him I would be reborn to the day he bought the lottery ticket? Thinking about this, I struggled to suppress the urge to smirk. Lucas’s cooking skills were indeed very good. If he had always been honest, I wouldn’t have minded giving him more money to spend each month. Unfortunately, he wasn’t honest and insisted on keeping a mistress. “Honey, can you lend me a million dollars? I want to invest in stocks,” Lucas asked. I replied, “Didn’t you already lose half a million in stocks last month?” “I’ll let that half million slide, but don’t even think about this million.” Lucas: “But…” Fiona’s sudden retching interrupted Lucas’s words. I put down my chopsticks, pretending to be surprised, “Fiona, are you… pregnant?” “No, no, I just have a bit of an upset stomach lately. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.” As Fiona finished speaking, a glass of water appeared in front of her. When she started retching, Lucas had already gotten up to fetch water from the kitchen. What a considerate and caring man, indeed. “Fiona, since you’re not feeling well, I’ll go to tomorrow’s event alone. You stay at our place and let Lucas take care of you.” “Rose, will you be okay by yourself?” Fiona asked. I nodded. “Lucas, take good care of Fiona while I’m away on this business trip for two days.” Take very good care indeed, because after today, both of you will be disgraced. The next day, they saw me off at the airport. As soon as they got home, they fell into each other’s arms, kissing passionately.
