Her Sanity Lost, Our Marriage GoneChapter 1

A sudden windfall from a government buyout made me rich overnight.

Within just three days, my wife was kidnapped.

The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $3.5 million.

I refused to pay.

My wife’s parents clawed at me in rage, cursing me as a heartless beast.

They said I was so desperate to keep that money that I didn’t even care about my wife’s life.

Even my own parents urged me to pay for my wife’s safety.

I refused again.

A few days later, since they didn’t get the money, the kidnappers released my wife anyway.

Sarah Miller came back bruised all over, bleeding, and completely deranged.

The moment she saw me, she went mad, lunging at me with the eyes of someone facing their mortal enemy, sinking her teeth into my shoulder.

I looked at the bite mark on my shoulder with cold indifference and said, “Our marriage has run its course. I’ve decided to divorce you.”

Smack!

Robert Miller slapped me hard across the face, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, “You beast, are you even human anymore?”

…

In the living room, relatives from both sides stared at me in disbelief.

Sarah had been tortured into madness, yet I felt no pity for her.
