Report
For five years, I paved the way for my wife, Samantha Cole. After helping her resolve the company's troubles one last time, I called her and asked, "Darling, I'm so cold. Can you come home and hug me?" On the other end of the phone, Samantha had only just pulled herself away from a moment of intimacy with her young lover, Oliver White. When she finally answered, her voice was impatient. "Joshua Davidson, will it kill you to stop being so dramatic?" Indeed, it would. I slammed the phone down and then died on our bed. Later, Samantha—the woman who had kept me trapped in that lonely house for five years—held my portrait in her arms and finally learned what regret felt like.

The Husband She Loved Too Late Chapter 7 The Truth Hidden in My Wallet
When Samantha woke, she was lying on our bed. The memory of what had happened crashed back into her all at once. She shot upright, stumbled out of bed barefoot, and reached for her phone. She was going to call the funeral home. She wanted to confirm it herself. "No need to call." Brandon leaned against the doorframe, scowling at her with open contempt. He lightly tapped the floor with the toe of his shoe. "See those three bullet holes in the floor?" Samantha froze. Brandon gave a cold, bitter smile. "That day, when Joshua was struggling to hold on, I wanted to bring you here and make you apologize to him. But he wouldn't allow it. Even in his final moments, he was still shielding you." He lowered his gaze to the floor. "To stop me, he fired three warning shots. One of them landed less than an inch from my shoe." Samantha's face turned pale. "Oh, right," Brandon continued. "Before he died, Joshua sent everyone away. He stayed alone in this empty room until the end."
The Husband She Loved Too Late Chapter 6 The Man She Lost Forever
A bucket of filthy water splashed over Samantha. She jerked awake. As her eyes fixed on the man standing before her, fear flickered across her face, but it was brief. She quickly gathered herself and calmed down. "Peter," she said evenly, "is five million enough?" That single sentence only made him angrier. Peter grabbed her by the collar and yanked her forward so hard her entire body nearly lifted off the chair. The fabric tightened around her throat, and Samantha's face quickly flushed red. "Five million?" Peter snarled. "Samantha, do you think I'm some beggar you can toss spare change at?" His eyes were bloodshot, burning with resentment. "You sent Joshua to strip me of my power. Because of you, I offended those thugs. Now I spend every day hiding like a rat in the streets." He leaned closer, his voice turning vicious. "Samantha, if I can't live well, neither can you." His roar was loud enough to wake Oliver. Compared to Samantha, Oliver was in an even worse stat
The Husband She Loved Too Late Chapter 5 Only After I Died Did She Come Looking for Me
The room was empty. Everything that had ever belonged to me had been cleared out, including my body. Of course. Brandon had already been here. By now, he had probably handed my body over to the funeral home. Samantha's anger exploded. She paced back and forth across the bedroom, her rage so sharp it seemed to scrape against the walls. Then, all at once, something bright caught her eye. It was my wedding ring, resting quietly on the nightstand. Samantha had never allowed me to wear it on my hand, so I could only keep it hidden with me like some secret I was not allowed to show anyone. Back when I was injured, it had taken me so much effort to find it again. There had even been a thin ring of dried blood around the band. I stared at it for a long moment, a strange ache rising in my chest. 'Something I used to treasure so carefully… Why does it look like nothing more than scrap metal now?' Perhaps Samantha thought the same thing. She barely glanced at it. She did not e
The Husband She Loved Too Late Chapter 4 She Hated Me, Yet Chased My Replacement
Oliver lay on the hospital bed, his face pale and worn. The moment he saw Samantha, tears began rolling down his cheeks one after another, as if he had counted them out in advance. Apparently, pretty boys who knew how to cry were popular with rich women these days. Sure enough, guilt flashed across Samantha's face. She reached out, ruffled his hair, and said softly, "Alright. I was too harsh last time. Don't do anything stupid again." Oliver wrapped his arms around her slender waist and sobbed against her, his shoulders shaking. "Then don't ever say you don't want me again." Samantha's heart melted completely. She sat down beside him, picked up an apple, and began peeling it with surprising focus. The peel curled away from the fruit in one long, perfect strip, circling around and around without breaking. "You're amazing," Oliver praised. Samantha smiled and handed him the apple. "Joshua taught me. He was superstitious about it. Said it was bad luck if the peel broke." N
