Both David Miller and I were senior executives in publicly traded companies.
Except for not having children, our life had been worry-free.
And that was exactly why someone like her could find an opening.
“No, thanks. I have no interest in your little arrangement.”
I rejected her proposal outright.
She suddenly dug her fingers deep into the one place where my bone was fractured, making me gasp as if I couldn’t breathe.
The pain was unbearable—I instinctively tried to push her away.
But with that tiny movement, she deliberately fell backward, crying out pitifully, “Don’t hit me! Please, don’t hit me!”
Anna Parker’s cries were loud and convincing, sounding heartbreakingly real.
Outside, David banged on the door frantically.
“Anna, what happened? Are you okay?!”
“Open the door—let me in right now!”
I could see his furious eyes through the crack.
It was a look I had never seen before—like he wanted to tear me apart.
And all of it was directed at me, lying helpless in the hospital bed.
Only then did I realize—I had been set up by this woman.
I tried to explain, but David shouted, “Stop pretending! Open the door now, or don’t blame me for being rough with you!”
