My Husband Faked Amnesia After Cheating, I Left Chapter 9
Three months later, the trial began.Derek was convicted on multiple counts—corporate embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, and commercial fraud.The amounts were staggering. The circumstances were egregious.The gavel came down. Fifteen years in prison, with full forfeiture of all personal assets.The moment the sentence was read, Derek's legs gave out and he collapsed to his knees.Handcuffed, dragging the leg he'd stabbed—the one that had never healed right because he hadn't gotten proper treatment in time—he clawed at the railing of the defendant's stand."Audrey! I'll give you my life! Don't leave!""Look at me! I don't want to go to prison! Please, I can't do this!"I sat there and didn't give him so much as a flicker of expression.I stood up and walked out of the courtroom without looking back.He would spend the rest of his life behind walls, doing hard time.Later I heard he lost his mind completely in prison.Every day he talked to the walls—one minute screaming that Bran

After the police took Derek away, the hospital room was finally quiet.I closed my eyes, utterly drained down to my bones.Derek's case was still under investigation. Given the massive sums involved and the ironclad evidence I'd submitted, he was sent straight to county jail.But he wouldn't give up.He tried everything to see me, even sending Nathan Ellsworth—a mutual friend from college—to the hospital to plead his case.Nathan showed up with a fruit basket, wearing an awkward expression mixed with what he clearly thought was compassion."Audrey, Derek's been slamming his head against the wall every day in there. His scalp is split open.""He wanted me to tell you he truly knows he was wrong. He's eaten alive with regret.""He says if you're willing to write a clemency letter, he'll walk away with nothing. Every asset he has left—it's all yours."I let out a cold laugh and swept the fruit basket off the table.Apples and oranges rolled across the floor, just like Derek's cheap excuse

Derek jerked his head up, eyes brimming with desperate hope."I'll change! I'll change everything! Just please forgive me!"I leaned forward and locked onto his gaze, tearing his delusions apart word by word."Your mistake was treating my love like a stepping stone for your own ambitions.""You think pretending to be brain-damaged was hard for you?""Do you have any idea what you were doing when I drank myself into a stomach hemorrhage trying to save your company and got rushed to the ER?""You were spending my money buying Chloe handbags worth tens of thousands.""Do you have any idea what you were doing when I sold the apartment my parents bought me and stood on street corners in the dead of winter handing out flyers just to pay off your debts?""You were in Chloe's bed, laughing about how I was a dead fish."Derek's face went white as a sheet. His lips trembled violently."No... that's not... Audrey, I lost my mind, I wasn't thinking—""You didn't lose your mind. You're rotten to th

Chloe let out a string of cold laughs. That pitiful, delicate face of hers was now twisted into something hideous."Derek, your company's been seized. Your accounts are frozen. You're flat broke!""What, you expect me to stick around and starve with you?"Derek clutched his face, staring at her in disbelief."Chloe, have you lost your mind? Everything I did was for you!""Cut the crap! Brandon is my son—even if you're leaving, you're not taking him!"Chloe threw her head back and laughed as if she'd just heard the funniest joke of her life."Your son? Derek, is your head full of rocks?""You played dumb for six years, and now you've actually gone stupid for real?""Brandon is six and a half. Do the math—a month before your little drowning incident, I hadn't so much as held your hand!"Derek went rigid, as if struck by lightning."What... what did you say?"Chloe ripped away the last shred of pretense without mercy."Brandon is my ex-boyfriend's kid! I got knocked up and dumped, and the

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital.My father's hair had gone completely white, as if he'd aged ten years overnight.His eyes were red-rimmed as he gripped my hand tightly."Audrey, you're awake! The doctor said you were lucky to survive, but the babies..."I reached for my abdomen. It was flat. Empty. And just like that, my heart had been hollowed out too.No tears came.When grief runs this deep, even crying feels like a waste of energy."Dad, the Southside project..." I managed, my voice hoarse.My father scoffed and patted the back of my hand."You think your old man survived thirty years in business without learning a thing or two?""That supplier Derek introduced—I smelled something off the moment I laid eyes on him.""I'd already sent those materials to a provincial lab for testing on the quiet. None of it ever touched the construction site.""I kept my mouth shut because I wanted to see exactly what that ungrateful bastard was up to."I let out a long breath.Dere

I knew that fighting back head-on would only put me and my unborn child in danger.Swallowing my nausea, I lowered my eyes and spoke, my voice raw."Let me think about it overnight."Derek released his grip with a satisfied look and patted my cheek like he was doing me a favor."See? That's more like it. If you'd been this obedient from the start, you could've spared yourself all that pain."He turned to Chloe. "Babe, take Brandon to the bath. You two are sleeping in the master bedroom tonight."I watched the three of them disappear into the bathroom—a perfect little family—then immediately turned and headed for the study.I had to leave. Now.I needed to drive to my father's house tonight and make him halt construction on the Southside development project immediately. Even if it meant paying breach-of-contract penalties, I couldn't let Derek's scheme succeed.I dug through the safe and grabbed my passport, my ID, and what little cash remained, stuffing everything haphazardly into my b
