My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Time flew by as Rose, Romeo, and Lester – and their accomplice – served their terms.

Rose was in poor health. She had acquired a scornful attitude when she was Mrs. Aprice, which made it difficult for her to live in prison with other inmates.

The frequent scrimmages made her life miserable, for she would often get beaten. They would steal her food and leave the most disgusting or difficult work for her.

Moreover, she was depressed because of the loss of her second child. Her health deteriorated rapidly, and she was almost at the end of her life.

But when she was close to kicking the bucket, she received another piece of news.

Her son had been cremated and buried. His ashes were waiting for her.

She begged the guards for an audience with Liliana, but Liliana had cut off her past.

Liliana did not want to deal with her or Lester or any past. She had moved on and no longer cared about petty grudges.

As far as Liliana was concerned, Lester, Rose, and Romeo had gotten their due. The dead were long gone, and she was smart enough to move on from the conflict. She did not want to waste away in revenge.

But Mariana was happy to spend her time gloating in their misery. Instead of Liliana, Mariana visited Rose to rub salt in her wounds.

Rose had a bad feeling when she saw Mariana.

Liliana always acted like she was above all of them. She had that aloof and untouchable air about her. Rose could count on Liliana to settle things and move on. She was too proud to mingle with their likes.

But Mariana Jacobsen was different. She liked the tit-for-tat approach and did not mind getting down in the gutter to get even.

Rose asked impatiently, “What do you want?”

Mariana sneered, “Why are you so impatient? It’s not like you have anywhere to go.”

Rose took deep breaths to suppress her anger and panic.

Mariana watched her patiently as if she had all the time in the world.

Rose closed her eyes and counted backward.

She had to hold on until she found her child’s remains.

Mariana chuckled.

“It’s good to see you miserable. I had waited so many years for this. Not that you ever managed to cause any harm to Liliana, but even so.”

Rose dug her fingers into her thighs to keep her temper.

Everything was done and dusted. Rose only cared for her child’s remains and Lydia’s wellbeing.

Mariana lost interest in her and showed her a video clip.

Rose perked up on seeing what was on the screen.

An eight-year-old Liliana was talking to a doctor.

“Ms. Petrova, how would you like to handle the fetus?”

Liliana winced at the word ‘fetus’ and asked, “Is there no way to save the baby?”

The doctor shook his head, “The baby was never alive. If she hadn’t kidnapped my family, I would have removed it and conducted a proper burial months ago. But now, even the corpse is decaying inside her body. I am sorry.”

Liliana scrunched her nose and took a deep breath.

“In that case, please preserve the remains. No matter what, the baby was my half-brother. He should get buried in my father’s family graveyard. I will handle the rest – please safeguard his remains.”

The doctor mumbled a few compliments and left.

Liliana stood transfixed and walked to the NICU. It was a private room, and only one child was inside.

“What shall we do, little brother?”

The video ended, and Rose’s heart leaped in her throat.

She cried and asked, “What did you do?”

Mariana shrugged, “That is for us to know and you to find out.”

Rose cried and begged.

“Please, just tell me.”

“Please, I am begging you.”

“Just tell me what she did to my child.”

“Did you bury him in Aprice’s graveyard?”

“Was he placed in the Aprice family tree?”

“What happened to his ashes?”

“Tell me!”

“I will apologize to Liliana. I will kneel in front of her mother’s grave for three days. Just tell me where my child is.”

Mariana was satisfied with her reaction.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Liliana had asked her to tell the truth to Rose and move on from the past.

Mariana wanted respite, and she was finally happy.

She arranged for Rose to kneel in front of Anne’s grave for three days.

Surprisingly, Romeo joined her.

For all their faults, Rose and Romeo were good parents. For their children, they could do anything. Unfortunately, they did not care about other people’s children and had no qualms about mistreating them.

After three days, Mariana took them to the Aprice graveyard, where Lester and Rose’s son lay buried.

Liliana had named him – Roger Lester Aprice.

Rose wept in the graveyard for many hours until the police escorted them back to prison.

Lester had already visited his son once. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Ultimately, Liliana moved Lester abroad to his backup house with his new identity to live out the rest of his remaining days with the woman he had saved.

Lester had one foot in the grave, and she did not want his death on her conscience.

And with that, the grudges of the previous generations ended.

Lester passed away after a year due to multiple organ failures. He had spent his last year bedridden – in remorse and guilt.

Rose and Romeo spent three years in prison. Rose died soon after she was released, and Romeo followed her after half a year.

Lydia had learned from her lessons and taken a job at a supermarket. She had a roof over her head, so at least she and her parents had a place to die.

Lester had donated all his property to charity. Aprice Group collapsed, and many companies swept in for the prize.

Liliana asked her assistant to keep an eye out and help qualified people with prospective employers.

Lester’s lawyer friend and his wife lost their licenses and fortune. But their son was healthy, and they lived a low-key life abroad after getting out of prison after three years.

Mariana stopped thinking about the past. She had spent her childhood being heartbroken for her best friend. But since they had come out better, she did not want to lose herself.
