The Unwanted Wife's Daring Escape Plan

About this story

Synopsis

Callie thought her two-year marriage to Jaime, a wealthy and gentle CEO, was a perfect sanctuary. That was until a late-night call from the NYPD shattered her world. Her husband was being questioned at a hotel where a male escort had just died. Rushing home, she didn't find a grieving man, but caught him in his study intimately entangled with the dead escort's friend. When confronted, Jaime didn't apologize. He coldly admitted he was gay and their marriage was just a sham for his inheritance. To keep her quiet, his wealthy family threatened to cut off the life-support funds for her comatose mother unless she got pregnant immediately to kill the PR scandal. When his lover later tried to sexually assault Callie in her own hallway, she fought back and struck him in self-defense. Jaime walked in, but instead of protecting his wife, he slapped her hard across the face. "You're so desperate for a man, you'll attack my guest?" She had endured the public humiliation, the cruel blackmail, and even survived a horrific car crash just to keep her mother alive. Yet, watching her husband comfort the man who just tried to violate her, she felt a chilling emptiness. Every moment of their marriage was a sickening lie. Wiping the blood from her bruised lip, the last chain of her submission finally snapped. She locked herself in the guest room and picked up her phone. She was going to accept the help of the ruthless Wall Street billionaire who had saved her life, and she was getting out tonight.
