Betrayed by My Husband Who Chose Mistress and LiesChapter 1

At twenty, I poisoned my stepfather’s cup, only to be caught by Easton Hammond, the Christian devotee. I glared at him, even imagining dying together, but he turned instead and stabbed my not-yet-dead stepfather ten more times.

The robe was soaked with blood, the prayer beads scattered in broken pieces. As the police dragged him away, he looked back at me with a grin.

“Tisha Trevino, never again in this life will a beast torment you. I will always protect you!”

Ten years later, Easton walked out of prison. Once devoted to Christ, he had become my blood-soaked avenger, guarding me like a shadow.

He could have stepped into the mortal world and married me fully, yet he clung to the last commandment, never once touching me. But not long after our marriage, a woman with a swollen belly came seeking me.

“Easton doesn’t keep the commandments because he won’t touch you. It’s because he doesn’t love you. He despises you as filthy. He only loves me.” Her hand stroked her belly, pride gleaming in her eyes.

Easton rushed in, his face flustered, but I lifted a stick and brought it crashing down on the woman.
