Glacier Took My Brother, Guilt Took My HusbandChapter 1

My younger brother, Mark Green, joined his teammates on an expedition to the Alaska Glacier. Unfortunately, he slipped into an ice pit and went missing.

One of his teammates called for help, but my husband, Richard Miller, repeatedly hung up.

When the call came again, this time he blocked the number.

I was deeply worried.

“It’s my brother’s teammate calling—there must be something urgent.”

His tone was impatient and filled with anger.

“Use your brain. Your brother is skiing in Alaska right now—how could anything have happened?”

“And even if something did happen, your brother is a grown man. Can’t he figure out how to save himself? Why waste our time and money?”

Then came his harsh threat:

“If you dare go, if you even think about using our joint marital assets, I’ll divorce you and make sure you never see Ethan again.”

His words froze me. But in that moment, I suddenly understood.

He thought the missing one was my brother, which was why he tried so hard to stop me.

But what if the missing person had been his own brother?

…

I spoke faintly.

“Alright.”

Hearing me agree, Richard finally relaxed.
