Finally Choosing My Passion Over the Man I LovedChapter 1

Zelene's POV

On the fifteenth day of the New Year, my husband, Alger Doyle, came rushing home, all excited, saying he wanted to take me somewhere.

I thought to myself—after all these years, he still wants to surprise me?

But the last place I expected him to take me was the police station.

Before I could even react, he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. The next thing I knew, cold metal snapped around my wrists—handcuffs.

Alger looked the officers straight in the eye and said with conviction, “She’s the one who set the fire in the mountains yesterday.” Then, he pulled out a video as proof.

I stared at the screen in shock. The person in the footage had my face—but the body shape was completely different from mine.

Just as I opened my mouth to refute it, Alger leaned down and whispered, “Babe, do this for Carly, please. She’s not in good health. She won’t survive in here.” His voice was calm, almost reassuring. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything at home.”

Then, without another word, he turned and walked away.
