My Wife Loved Another, Yet Made Me Her PrisonerChapter 1

The purest love had been that year, when Athena Gray stormed into the club and crushed the ones who had bullied me. Her actions had not deserved prison, yet they carved an unshakable mark into her life.

The wealthy heiress was cast out of her family, and in the end, she squeezed into a filthy basement with me.

In those darkest days, I held her close and wept, asking if she regretted everything. But she only smiled, her eyes soft and warm.

“How could I regret it? Your safety matters more to me than my life.”

“This life of Athena will always be your dog. If you are safe, then all suffering is worth it.”

She poured every drop of her strength into lifting me up, even while she drove herself into power, rising higher and higher.

Everyone knew I was the one inside the heart of Athena, someone untouchable, someone no one dared provoke.

But on our wedding anniversary, I opened her safe, and inside was a thick stack of documents, from pregnancy check-ups to kindergarten admission notices.

Five years ago, when I had been slashed and left on the edge of death, she had told me she went abroad to hunt the culprit.
