He Got What He Wanted... Then Went Mad
My husband—one of the top elites of Raventon Street, cold and ruthless to his core—keeps a stray orphan girl he rescued from the slums hidden in an apartment.
Rowena Fletcher is clean and fragile, like a newborn creature untouched by the world. And somehow, that innocence softens something in Micah Benson—a man who's spent years clawing his way through the brutal wilderness of capital.
He thinks this secret game of his goes unnoticed, but I find out anyway.
At the Benson family's charity gala, I smash his favorite antique vase in front of everyone. He doesn't even flinch as he simply signals the bodyguards to clean up the mess and then hands me a divorce agreement.
"Sign it, Sabrina. The penthouse in Ashbourne City is yours."
I burn the divorce agreement—and that's when he finally shows his true colors.
He freezes all my accounts and launches a hostile takeover of my gallery.
On the night the storm hits, I get a call from the hospital. My sister, Roberta Slater, has been in a car crash—she needs emergency surgery.
In the security footage, he stood there, watching coldly. "Sign the papers, or start planning a funeral."
I dropped to my knees and slammed my forehead against the floor, blood trailing down my face as I begged, "Micah, please… don't…"
A long, flat beep echoed from the other end of the line, slicing through the sound of rain. Then a voice on the line says, "We did everything we could."
However, I have gone back in time—to the day I first found out about Rowena.
This time, I no longer cry. Instead, I plan my divorce on my own terms. I call Valebrook Bank that same night and begin preparing for a quiet disappearance.
But the moment I truly vanish from his world, Micah loses his mind.
