Married to the man who sacrificed me novel

Chapter 5 The glaring words " tragedy " and " divorce " burned his eyes like a searing light , making it impossible to look away . His fingers slid down the screen . Beneath the top headline was a video of him forcing Arlette's head down until her forehead was battered and bloody . Then came the photos of her - weak and wounded from recent surgery - wandering alone through hospital corridors and empty city streets . In every single frame , Arlette looked utterly desolate and wretched . There were quite a few comments under the headlines .

" Granted , what happened back then might have been her father's fault , but that's no reason for her entire family to die ! Her mother passed away , and both her kids died tragically in Haisley's hospital . It's hard not to suspect something - if I were her , I'd think it was deliberate too . " " Think about it : your father is partially paralyzed , the assault allegation is still unclear , and your whole family is gone . Anyone would fall apart . And then your husband forces you to kneel and apologize just one day after giving birth ?

Even if her suspicions are wrong , they're completely understandable . " " Exactly ! Only the people in that operating room know what really happened . If her claims aren't true , then she must have been driven to the edge - depression , even a breakdown . Either way , her husband is a monster !

He had known full well that Arlette had been struggling with de- pression and anxiety , and that her accusations had never been baseless .

Yet , counting on his beloved's deep love for him , he chose the most heart - wrenching approach .

Staring at the comments supporting her decision to get a divorce , Alejandro was seized by frantic panic . No ! He couldn't divorce Arlette . They had loved each other so deeply ; no one was allowed to tear them apart . He frantically bombarded her with messages and calls . He wanted to tell her that he was wrong .
