A Talented Son-in-Law

Chapter 2-Powerless

"Oh my God!" Dasha was startled and got out of the car with the man she had been kissing.

The clothes she was wearing looked messy and the top button was open.

Stefan was deeply shocked and didn't expect to see something like this right in front of his eyes. Stefan never thought that Dasha would play with another man.

"Dasha, who is he?" Stefan pulled the man who had fallen on top of Dasha's body.

The man's lips were covered with Dasha's lipstick. It made Stefan unable to hold back his anger and he punched the man.

Dasha ran and stood in front of that man. "He's my lover, Robert Bulgakov." Dasha pushed Stefan. "He's a wealthy man who matches me and I can rely on. Not a man like you who simply can't even buy a house for your wife."

Stefan was shocked that Dasha could say such a thing. All this time Stefan thought she had accepted him as he is and was patient with his efforts to buy a new house. But all of Stefan's assumptions were wrong. Dasha had never loved him.

"I married you to make sure my father's inheritance could be distributed and I could use it. I was willing to marry you because I knew you loved me sincerely and you wouldn't take a penny of the money I had. You should know that this is not about love, but about money and power." Dasha laughed with her new lover.

Stefan clasped his hands at his sides. He was extremely angry but he couldn't do anything about it. "I might not as rich as that man, but I'm your husband! We're married and you have to respect my presence here! You can't cheat on me with another man when you're married!"

Robert came forward and pushed Stefan until his body hit the wall hard. "A poor man like you should know your place. You don't deserve to yell at Dasha like that because you're not even her equal. She's a successful woman while you're just an ordinary employee who doesn't even make a quarter of Dasha's salary."

That sentence hurt Stefan deeply. Stefan had never thought that Dasha would tell anyone about his salary, especially if it was his wife's affair!

Stefan's pride had been trampled on by his wife and her affair!

That's why Stefan came forward to attack Robert. He tried to hit Robert with all his strength but Stefan didn't see Robert in pain. Instead, Robert slammed Stefan to the floor so hard that Stefan coughed.

Robert's body was much taller and more muscular than Stefan's. In addition, Robert also has excellent fighting skills while Stefan doesn't have that ability. As a result Stefan had to receive punches and kicks many times.

Stefan tried to protect his head and vital organs from being hit by kicks and punches.

Stefan's body was battered, scuffed and bruised. He coughed and tried to stand up. Stefan's condition was heartbreaking. Even Dasha stepped back as Stefan tried to reach her.

"Dasha, tell me that this is all just a bad dream. You at least have a little love for me, right? We've been together for a year now. You even helped me to convince your parents from the beginning of our relationship until we got married." Stefan looked at Dasha with a bitter look.

"I told you, I never loved you. I just faked it to get to my real goal of riding as the company's heir after marriage. You still think this is a dream? Wake up Stefan, it's not your nightmare!" Dasha pushed Stefan backwards.

Because Stefan's body had lost a lot of strength, the push Dasha gave him made him fall on the ground.

Dasha and Robert laughed at Stefan's powerlessness. They looked down on Stefan who didn't have any strength.

Stefan was deeply hurt. He tried to stand up by holding on to the wall. He wouldn't let Robert take Dasha. Even though Stefan didn't know how his relationship with Dasha might end, he didn't want to see Dasha with a man who Stefan thought insincere.

Stefan could see in Robert's eyes that he had something in mind, not a genuine love like when he looked at Dasha.

"Why me, Dasha? Why must I be the butt of your jokes?" Stefan asked.

"You want to know why?" Dasha leaned closer even though her hand was pulled away by Robert. "Because you won't be able to sue me. Look at you, could you afford a lawyer to sue me for fraud and illegal use? You can't! You won't be able to afford a lawyer because you're poor. So I chose you because you are poor!"

"If I was rich, wouldn't you have picked that man?" Stefan pointed at Robert.

"If you were rich? Hm, maybe I'll drain your money." Dasha laughed again with Robert. "You look at yourself now. You're skinny like you're malnourished. Do you think a beautiful, sexy woman like me would want you? Don't you realize that every night you fall asleep first, not because you're tired, but because you've taken sleeping pills?"

"What do you mean?" asked Stefan in shock.

"I put sleeping pills in your drink every night at Robert's suggestion so you'd fall asleep and not touch me. Then I would go out with Robert and come back in the early hours of the morning. I did that every day and you didn't notice?"

Stefan recalled his days of rarely touching Dasha. Stefan never even had sex with Dasha like a married couple. Dasha always complained about being tired and sometimes Stefan would fall asleep before Dasha came home. So Stefan tried to be patient during the 6 months he was married. But in fact, all this was planned by Dasha and Robert!

"You have no heart, Dasha. And you've manipulated Dasha!" Stefan came forward to attack Robert but Robert slammed Stefan into the car causing a dent.

"I almost forgot to tell you this important thing. Since I no longer need you, you can leave my house."

Robert pulled Stefan's body into the car trunk. Stefan kept fighting to make Robert put him down.

"What are you doing!" Robert punched Stefan in the head once more.

Seeing Stefan struggling, Dasha approached them. Dasha took off her high heels. "Scum don't deserve to be in a place like this. You need to stay where you belong and wait for the divorce certificate to reach you. Don't try too hard."

Dasha hit Stefan on the head with her high heels until he bled and passed out.
