The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Melanie didn’t even make eye contact with Caspian. She stuffed the divorce certificate

into her bag and casually touched up her makeup with a small mirror.

“It’s better if we treat each other like strangers in the future. When I look at you, I am

reminded of the time I lived in poverty. The six months of our marriage felt like a

nightmare to me. Now that the nightmare is over, I feel so relieved.”

Caspian was taken aback.

He never thought that the woman he did his best to love for the past six months would

describe their time together as a nightmare.

In that instant, any lingering feelings he felt for Melanie disappeared completely.

At that moment, the revving sounds of a sports car approaching could be heard.

A red BMW sports car pulled up next to Melanie.

The next second, the car door opened.

A one-eyed man with pockmarked skin and balding hair stepped out of the car.

Caspian recognized this man.

He was Bobby Mason, the son of their company’s general manager.

Bobby was born with only one eye. Although he was ugly, he had a decent family

background. His career was mediocre at best.

He had to rely on his dad’s connections to get to where he was currently.

Thus, he remained unmarried for years.

When Bobby got out of the car, he walked over to Caspian.

He grabbed Caspian’s hand and exclaimed with a smug expression, “Although you didn’t

do much, thank you so much for taking care of my wife for the past six months! From now

on, she’s my woman. I’ll definitely do my best to take care of Melanie, don’t worry.

“When she’s my wife, I will not let her take public transportation nor do any house chores.

I’ll do my best to give her the best life I can afford. I’ll definitely make her happier than

ever before. Dear ex-husband, don’t worry about her!”

Bobby’s cheeky words of gratitude toward Caspian did not mask the mocking tone in his

voice. At the same time, he flaunted his wealth.

Caspian ignored him but stared at Melanie with surprise and curiosity.

In his mind, he thought that Melanie could do much better. She should have found a

younger, richer, and more successful man than him.

Who would have thought that Melanie only wanted a rich man? Except for being richer

than him on the surface, Bobby’s physical appearance was utterly repulsive.

Caspian asked her, “Did you divorce me because of him?”

Melanie hung her head as her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

In the next moment, she mustered her courage and looked up.

She shouted, “Yes, I divorced you because of Bobby. Bobby has been good to me and will

give me a better life. He genuinely cares for me. I’m not a materialistic woman.

“Bobby is kind to me. He is also willing to spend time to keep me company. In my eyes,

that makes him far superior in comparison to you.”

Perhaps only by shouting that Melanie could convince herself that she wasn’t a gold

digger.

She was clearly trying to hide her feelings of shame toward Caspian.

“Caspian, I know you loved Melanie, that’s why you let her go. Men should be open-

minded. Competent men like me must do their best to take care of the woman they love,

while incompetent men should let them go. For example, you let Melanie go and allowed

her to pursue happiness.”

As Bobby spoke, he nodded condescendingly at Caspian. “There is a kind of love called

letting go. You’ve done well.”

Caspian chose to ignore Bobby and turned to Melanie.

He had a look of disappointment on his face. “Did you abandon me for this handicapped

man? You’ve really disappointed me.”

Caspian’s words hit a nerve with Melanie.

Melanie couldn’t care less about her image and screamed hysterically on the spot, “How

dare you call my husband a handicapped man? He drives a BMW. How about you? You take

the bus every day! He earns tens of thousands of dollars each month, and his father is a

manager of the company.

“How about you? You work a day job and deliver parcels in the afternoon. You come home

every day covered in sweat, but you only make five thousand dollars a month. What do

your parents do? They must be living in a remote village, I guess.

“We have been married for half a year, but you won’t even let them meet me. Are you

concerned that they would lose their way in the city, or are you afraid that I will look down

on them?

“If you have the nerve to call Bobby a handicap, why don’t you take a good look at

yourself first? You’re worse than trash!

“Even if you scrimped and saved all your life, you can’t even afford to buy a car, let alone

a BMW sports car. Caspian, accept your fate. You’re just a poor loser.”

After giving Caspian a piece of her mind, Melanie turned to Bobby and took his arm.

She spoke to him in a sweet voice, “Darling, let’s go.”

Bobby was still grinning widely. “Melanie, how can you call him a poor loser? You are right

about that, though. We should stay away from beggars like him in the future.”

In Caspian’s eyes, the two shameless individuals yapping away in front of him deserved

each other.

As the couple walked toward the red BMW, a powerful rumble of an engine could be heard

in the distance.

The next moment, a huge Mercedes-Benz SUV roared by without pulling on the brakes. It

ran over the red BMW sports car that Melanie was so proud of and flattened it into scrap

metal.

The once stylish sports car now resembled a deflated balloon.

Bobby and Melanie stood on the sidewalk, completely bewildered.

The Mercedes-Benz was a modified SUV.

It had a length of 20 feet, weighed 3 tons, and was powered by a 6.2-liter turbo engine.

This ferocious beast of a car cost approximately around 6 million dollars.

The Mercedes-Benz SUV drove over the sports car several times until it was flattened into

a sheet of scrap metal.

Finally, the SUV’s engine was turned off and the car door opened. A pair of long legs clad

in silk stockings stepped out.

The woman who emerged from the car was wearing a camo dress that clung to her

shapely figure.

Earlier, Bobby was furious at the brainless driver in the Mercedes-Benz SUV for running

over his beloved sports car.

However, he couldn’t pull his eyes away when he saw the curvaceous woman stepping out

of the driver’s seat.

Bobby swallowed hard to control his desires.

To his disappointment, the woman in the camo dress ignored him completely and strode

toward Caspian gracefully.

“Good morning, Lord—” Sylvia started to greet Caspian, but he shook his head.

He gestured to her so that she would not reveal their identities. “Sylvia, why are you

here?”

Sylvia nodded with a smile. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and linked arms with

Caspian.

Her actions caught Caspian off guard.

Sylvia lifted her chin disdainfully. With a mocking smile, she sized up Bobby and Melanie

who were standing opposite them.

“Caspian, I’ve seen your wedding photos and I know she’s Melanie. However, who’s the

hideous ogre standing beside her?”

Hideous … ogre …?
