Honeymoon From Hell: Abandoned in the Desert のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

Ever since Luke came into Sandy's life, I couldn't do anything right in her eyes.Luke was lazy and not particularly bright. I caught him red-handed when he tried to plagiarize my experimental data for his thesis. However, Sandy accused me of being unnecessarily harsh.When Sandy took Luke home with her and he broke our wedding photo, she blamed me for not putting it away properly.Even when I was too busy to buy Luke a birthday present and send him money with my birthday wishes instead, Sandy accused me of humiliating him.Every time I gave in, all I got in return was even more blatant favoritism toward Luke.It wasn't until this very moment, when Sandy was genuinely trying to drive me to my death, that I finally came to my senses.I struggled frantically to break free, but the ropes held my hands firmly bound. No matter how hard I fought, my efforts were futile.Seeing the terror in my eyes grow more intense, Sandy ushered Luke back into the vehicle. A wave of cool air drifted

Sandy snatched the bracelet right off my wrist before I could pull away. My head was still buzzing from the shock.The bracelet had been made from my parents' ashes, and I'd never even taken it off to shower. Not only was it the last thing they had left me, but it was also the only thing keeping me going all this time.I had always believed that no matter how cruel or misguided Sandy could be, she would never lay a hand on something belonging to the dead.My eyes bulged with rage as I staggered forward, only for my knees to buckle and send me crashing to the ground. The wounds on my knees struck the scorching sand, and the pain was so intense that my vision went black."Give it back, Sandy! Or I swear I'll make you pay!"Sandy appraised the bracelet disdainfully. "You? What can you possibly do? It's just some worthless trinket. Clifford, what do you think would happen if I tossed it somewhere into this desert?"Would you even be able to find it? Do you think your parents could re

After returning home, I spent an entire month recovering in the hospital.There wasn't a single part of my body left uninjured. I had suffered from dehydration, extensive skin burns, and multiple fractures.It took me a full week before I could even get out of bed.Meanwhile, Sandy's life had descended into chaos.News reports about the horrific abuse I had suffered at the hands of Sandy and Luke kept flooding the Internet.Blanc Group issued an official statement announcing the termination of all business dealings with Cramer Corporation and the recovery of all investments.The partners who had once eagerly sought to collaborate with Sandy rushed to distance themselves from her as quickly as possible.Her company was now on the verge of bankruptcy, and yet she couldn't get in touch with me.In the early evening, Miranda came to visit me as usual. She was dressed in a business suit, clearly having come straight from the office.I took the food she brought and tried to sound ca

The hospital room finally fell silent.In the days that followed, Miranda raised the security level to the highest possible setting, making it impossible for Sandy and Luke to get anywhere near me.The two of them were at each other's throats, as Luke's reputation had been completely ruined. Everyone knew about this misconduct, from academic fraud to carrying on an affair with a married woman.No company was willing to hire him, and with no money left to his name, he was forced to live in a basement in a rundown neighborhood.Every day, he waited drunk outside Sandy's apartment building.Sandy was at her wit's end, but Luke clung to her like a leech.He showed up outside her unit every day like clockwork, sometimes pounding on her door, other times banging on her windows. The constant noise was driving the whole neighborhood crazy.Sandy was so swamped that she couldn't even find time to come see me, leaving her frantic with worry.It wasn't until Sandy received the legal paper
