The Woman He Left Behind Is Now Untouchable
The casino my husband and I ran was about to go through a chaotic police raid. Anyone who got caught would likely end up arrested.
We had the time to leave. But we couldn’t all leave. One of us had to stay behind, or the cops would keep chasing us.
Elias, my charming husband, didn’t even hesitate. He grabbed Mireille and left me to handle the cops, tossing over his shoulder, “I’ll send a lawyer to you.”
Lucky for me, I managed to walk away without any consequences.
And then, I saw, Elias, the man who was supposed to have my back, not only did escape without me, he also whisked Mireille away to some fancy resort, like they were on vacation.
He looked so carefree, so unbothered. Not a hint of concern for the wife he’d just abandoned.
“Think Seraphina’s gonna be mad that we left without her?” Mireille asked, all innocence.
Elias laughed, that cold, detached laugh that sent a shiver down my spine. “Please. As if she’d ever get mad at me. She can handle herself.”
He didn’t care.
But you know what? Neither do I. Not anymore.
