My Wife’s Lies Left Our Daughter Broken And BruisedChapter 1

I had been buried in a classified project deep in the mountains, completely cut off from the world for three years.

The moment it ended, the very first thing I did was call my daughter, it was her birthday today and I wanted to wish her in person.

I called her again and again, but no one answered. I didn’t think much of it. I figured she was just busy celebrating, too caught up in the joy to pick up.

But a while later, she sent me a video. In it, she was tied up and forced to kneel on the ground.

Buckets of ice water were poured over her.

Shivering, she whispered, “Stop, it’s so cold.”

Her teeth chattered, her body trembling.

But the torture didn’t stop.

“Dad… save me, Dad… where are you?”

Her voice was faint, slurred, filled with pain.

As I listened, I felt my entire body collapse into pieces.

“Calling for your dad? Isn’t he right in front of you?”

A mocking voice cut through; it was a voice I knew all too well.

How could the one tormenting my daughter be him?

——

The video cut off. When I called again, the line was instantly rejected.

Without hesitation, I dialed my wife, Alice Ferrari.
