Chapter 81<\/p>\n

Liberty shot back, \u201cHank, I\u2019m the one who takes care of our child all day! Yet, you see me as some useless person who just eats and spends money.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI can handle it because I want to give our son the best I can,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut your sister\u2019s kids have nothing to do with me. They\u2019re not my responsibility,\u201d Hank replied firmly. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to care for her children! I can\u2019t believe you actually want guardianship of them. The burden of providing for their needs and education would fall on us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe title deed doesn\u2019t have my name on it, so if you want to transfer ownership to your sister, that\u2019s your business. If you can\u2019t get the house back, that\u2019s also your problem. But one thing is certain: you need to return the renovation costs to me before you put her name on the deed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t be able to get my money back once the house is hers,\u201d a shadow of gloom crossed Hank\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned that I\u2019ll be giving you extra allowance. Isn\u2019t that enough? You\u2019re already at home with our child, so I don\u2019t see why adding two more kids is such a big deal. Kids over ten years old are hardly a handful. You can just help them with their homework,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think a thousand bucks isn\u2019t enough, I can add another five hundred. You should be grateful for a total of fifteen hundred,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what if the responsibility for their well-being and education falls on us? They\u2019re my sister\u2019s kids. It\u2019s the least we can do. I trust my sister. She will give the house back to me,\u201d Hank argued. \u201cAnd what do you mean by renovation costs? I bought the house with my money. Shouldn\u2019t you contribute to the renovations since you\u2019re living here as well? The audacity of you to ask me to repay you for the renovation costs\u2014dream on!\u201d Liberty glared at him.<\/p>\n

Her heart plummeted as she gazed at her husband. The couple, who had shared a long-term relationship before exchanging vows, now faced a challenging reality. Hank, once the ideal boyfriend and husband, began to change two years into their marriage. His actions were now causing her immense heartache.<\/p>\n

Hank consistently sided with his parents and sister, neglecting both Liberty and their son, Sonny. It seemed that all of Hank\u2019s attention was focused on Chelsea, catering to her every whim. The contentious issue of catchment areas had escalated into a national problem, leading to rifts even among siblings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHank, I\u2019m standing firm on this,\u201d Liberty asserted. \u201cThis is not about money. It\u2019s not my responsibility to take care of your sister\u2019s kids or tutor them. If you want to go down that path, you might as well pay me like a tutor. I\u2019ll charge five thousand dollars for each kid per month\u2014that\u2019s ten thousand for both. Honestly, for that price, I could cook, handle the pickups and drop-offs, and tutor them as well. Take it or leave it; that\u2019s a discount since she\u2019s your sister. I\u2019m highly qualified as a tutor, so I believe I\u2019m worth that price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since it was all about money, Liberty decided to play Hank at his own game. \u201cI won\u2019t agree to transfer the house to your sister\u2019s name until you reimburse me for the renovation costs. If you proceed anyway, we can get a divorce, and I will still demand that renovation money as part of the settlement.\u201d <\/p>\n

Although her name was never on the title deed, as Hank had purchased the property before they married, Liberty was determined to fight for what was rightfully hers. The Browns had no intention of giving her a share of the house. Upon learning that Liberty and Hank were becoming serious, the Browns had quickly bought a house for Hank, ensuring their interests were protected.<\/p>\n

Liberty found herself in a tough situation when it came to the prenuptial property; she was not entitled to anything that wasn\u2019t in her name. Hank, visibly upset, turned pale and exclaimed, \u201cFive thousand dollars for each child? Why not just rob a bank? A divorce? Do you think you\u2019re just eighteen? You\u2019re a married woman with a child and no job!\u201d<\/p>\n

With harsh words, he continued, \u201cYou\u2019re fat and ugly. Just looking at you makes people sick to their stomachs. How are you going to support yourself after the divorce?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright now,\u201d he said after a moment of contemplation. \u201cI need to think about this. Ten thousand is out of the question. The best I can do is three thousand bucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo deal!\u201d Liberty firmly replied, turning away and refusing to engage further in the conversation with Hank.<\/p>\n
