His Forgotten Savior: The Ex-Wife's Escape

About this story

Synopsis

For three years, Beryl worked grueling food delivery shifts to pay the medical bills for her comatose husband, Aidan. But when she delivered an order to a luxury hotel suite, she found him awake, healthy, and playing house with his high school sweetheart and their toddler. He offered no explanation for his miraculous recovery or his betrayal. When his illegitimate daughter had an accidental allergic reaction, his lover slapped Beryl across the face and framed her for attempted murder. Aidan didn't hesitate to take his lover's side. He violently slammed Beryl against the hospital wall, threatening to make her pay with her life. He trashed all her belongings at their estate to make room for his new family, and even used her sick mother's nursing home funding to blackmail her into being their free babysitter. He treated her like garbage, thinking she was just a gold digger clinging to his billionaire status. He didn't know that while he was in that coma, Beryl had nearly sold her own kidney on the black market just to afford his experimental treatments. When he finally discovered the medical report and tried to buy her silence with a ten-million-dollar check, she threw it right back into the muddy street. "Save this desperate little act for someone who might actually want you. All I feel for you is disgust." He sneered those cruel words at her, desperately trying to mask his own panicked guilt and confusing desires. That was the moment Beryl's heart finally turned to ash. She calmly wiped the blood from her lip, pulled out her dusty suitcase, and decided to disappear from his life forever.
