The Gift I Gave My Husband: A Divorce He Never Saw ComingCHAPTER 1

MADELYNN

“Madelynn, we both know how hard you’ve worked for this marriage. I advise you to take the time to reconsider this decision.”

“I’ve made up my mind, attorney. I’m going to divorce Oliver and leave his company. Just draft both agreements please.”

Madelynn had been Oliver Kane’s secretary for four years, and at the same time, she had been secretly married to him.

Few months ago, while she decorated the house to announce her pregnancy to her husband, robbers broke in. They forced her to make countless calls and messages to Oliver in order to get the combination to the safe where he kept all his money and valuables. They threatened to kill her if they didn’t get the code to the safe.

But despite seeing the blue ticks that showed that Oliver was reading her messages, he never responded or answered the call.

The robbers had stabbed her in the thigh and left her to bleed to death, but luckily, she was saved by a neighbor who had heard her screaming.

She found out later that Oliver had been at a resort… with Cecelia, her sister.
