THE PERFECT WIFE

THE PERFECT WIFE

They thought breaking her would be easy. But from the ashes of betrayal, she rose stronger than ever. Mary Martel was the perfect wife—obedient, loyal, invisible. Until her husband, Alfred Martel, discarded her like trash for his pregnant secretary, Selena. Broken and humiliated, Mary Martel vanished from the spotlight, presumed defeated. But behind the silence, she was rebuilding herself—sharpening her scars into weapons, her grief into armor. Now she’s back. Not as the meek wife they used to mock, but as a powerful, enigmatic woman with one purpose: To destroy the man who broke her, expose the woman who deceived her, and prove that a wife may bend—but never breaks. Love, vengeance, secrets, and twisted redemption collide in this fast-paced, emotional rollercoaster that will keep you breathless until the last page.

Chapter: Confronting the Past
“The cancer disappeared,” he replied, looking at her with concern.She sat up sharply.“What? I was told I had only 6 months to live. Was that a wrong diagnosis?” she asked, her heart was bench pressing.He nodded slowly, “the coma seemed to have eaten it away. It's no longer there,” he said.She could live now……..she had every reason to fight for everything Alfred and her family had taken from her.She felt her body feel light and almost weightless…..she hadn't felt this liberated in years.As she stood, staring at herself in the bathroom mirror, she understood why the doctor had called her a fighter.Well, she was.The night was cold and thick when she stepped into the dark.There weren't any cars in sight.If they wanted her dead, she may as well come in the night as a ghost.Her heart rammed into her ribs as the thought of what she was going to do ran through her mind.She was going to come face to face with her parents one last time…….what would their reaction be like?Would they

Chapter: The Cost of Survival
He placed the plate of jello by her side and watched her eat slowly.“Can I ask some questions?” she asked, her voice small and shaky.Doctor Morgan moved uncomfortably on the chair he sat.“You don't need to now. Just eat and rest. You need a lot of it,” he tried to hush her.She smiled and scooped a spoon into her mouth, her face grimaced in slight disgust.The doctor laughed out loud.“Hospital isn't the best medicine for the body but you will survive,” he said to her.He checked her vitals and began to walk out of the office when her voice rang out behind him, a little louder than normal.“What happened to him? Alfred? My parents? Did they know I had an accident?” Then her voice broke slightly as she added, “Did anyone ever come to visit me while I was here?”The old man stood, divided by emotion and duty.He couldn't risk her going into another coma but he had to warn her.“Sometimes little one, we are better off alone in the world,” he replied.She nodded.A strong cry rose to h

Chapter: Handover
The blogs carried the news……newspapers, journals, influencers, they all hosted one title.“Billionaire wife in a vegetable state after an accident due to illicit affairs”It was captioned in block letters, so huge to ignore.Alfred did not hide his emotions during conferences and guest shows.“I still can't wrap my head around her affair and why she would do that. I was everything she ever needed in a man” he would say, one hand placed on his forehead and his eyes darkened with sorrow.The narrative only got worse.Selena played the victim.She cried, cleaned snot and kept a pitiful face….pretending she was more hurt for her step sister's condition than the “horrible things” she claimed Mary had done to her.Evidence of threatening letters Mary had written to Selena to stay away from Alfred all sufficed.Their debate was that they had always been together……..way before he even met Mary, but Mary, being a powerful woman, had threatened Selena into leaving Alfred for her. She had playe

Chapter: Alive again
“Good morning love” she kissed him and he purred like a cat, stretching lovingly.She let out a tiny excited shriek as her hands flew down to his naked erection under the blanket.“Naughty girl” he smiled, pulling her into a hug.“So what now?” She asked, her voice slightly serious.Alfred’s heart skipped a beat.The guilt of what they had done to Mary washed through his mind once more.His hands quivered a little as he stroked her bare back.“I have to go to the hospital. I need to tie up loose ends” he said.Selena flinched.She calmed her nerves…..making a mental note of just the kind of man Alfred was.“And?” She asked again“We…..party” he stared into her eyes, sparks flying, emotions playing the card of queens.“And?” She asked again, raising slightly on her elbow.“We take all those vacations we couldn't take because of ‘her’. With the death certificate, all I need to do is show the court all the evidence I have against her plus the divorce papers and her wealth becomes mine” h

Chapter: Ecstacy and death
The sharp pain pierced through her skull, pain ramming hard against the back of her head as she blinked her eyes open slightly.The walls were white, the room where she was smelt of drugs and antiseptic.It was a hospital…….she knew it.A man in a white coat walked in with a file.She opened her mouth to speak but no sound came out.Her heart tightened as she gripped her knuckles hard against the bed where she lay.Was she deaf or was she dumb?Her feet turned cold and she threw herself back and forth on the bed.The man walked to her.“You must rest ma. You don't want to harm yourself by moving too much” he said casually, his eyes bored.She frantically let her eyes scan the room.No drips, no bandages…..nothing.She could remember the accident vividly.She could feel all the bone crushing pain but she wasn't given any medication.She opened her mouth and tried moving her mouth again.This time, a sound escaped her throat.“Hel…..help me” she criedThe doctor scoffed then patted her
