All Chapters of CRUEL HUSBAND: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Twenty-Two Years AgoThe eight-year-old boy listened to his parents argue. He watched the scene through the crack in the door. His father spoke in a pleading tone while his mother remained impassive.“Sherlyn, you can't leave me like this!” he cried in despair. “Tell me, what can I do to keep you? If the problem is money, don't worry, I built the Evans Empire from the ground up once, I can do it again, but only with you by my side and with our son, you'll see how everything will work out, I'll continue to give you everything you need, I promise you'll never want for anything,” her father continued, trying to get closer to her mother.However, she slapped his hand and looked at him with a gesture of contempt.“I don't want to build anything with you, why should I when I can have it all with Jonah Johnson? He's a young man and now ten times richer than you were,” the woman pointed out without hiding a smirk.“Because he stole from me, he took advantage of our friendship and the trust th

He remained motionless for a moment, without stopping to observe the unconscious girl, she was beautiful, she had the appearance of an angel, when he reacted he could not help but caress her face with his fingertips, he felt a kind of current flowing between them, he saw a red liquid running down her forehead, she had been injured in the collision. For a moment he had mixed feelings, one part of him wanted to get away from her like someone fleeing from the plague, just remembering whose daughter she was gave him a deep disgust, his stomach churned with disgust, rage stirred within him, the other part, he wanted to care for her and protect her, he shook his head in confusion What the hell do I care about this girl? I should only care about her for my plans to use her against her bastard of a father, nothing else, he said to himself.He let go of her, dropping her on the seat like a lifeless doll without any consideration, but he didn't expect that move to provoke her reaction, he immed

Christian, not caring that the accident had not yet been reported to the authorities, moved his car, which, despite the damage to its bodywork, had suffered no mechanical damage. Without wasting any time, he sped away from the scene of the accident on his way to his friend's house.He could not help but feel an unpleasant unease running through his body, turning into a piercing cold sweat that eventually settled in his spine, too worried about Sally's state of health. He was afraid that something bad might happen to her, because if it did, he would never be able to forgive her for not paying him the attention he deserved during those days, and besides, she was the only person who could make him feel loved and protected, perhaps because they had been together in the orphanage until the day he decided to escape.Twenty minutes later, in record time, he arrived at the housing estate in a middle-class area of the city, a few old gabled houses with red roofs, all painted white. On arrival

Sally, watching the doctor examine her foot, fearing in her heart that he might discover her and expose her to Christian, took a deep breath, building up her courage, because it was better for her to tell him the truth before he ended up discovering it for himself."Doctor, excuse me, but I don't think it's necessary to send me for a series of X-rays, actually my accident is not that serious, I feel fine, I'm pretending to be in an accident," she began to say, fearing the doctor's rebuke. "Don't scold me, please, I just wanted to get a little more attention from my husband, because he lives working and doesn't dedicate enough time to me, that made me think of a plan to make him take care of me.” The woman's lie was an attempt to gain the doctor's sympathy."I need you to help me, right now, when the one who brought me in comes, please support me, remember, it is only a white lie, I promise to tell you the truth later and I will not let any kind of responsibility fall on you. Tell him

Abby began to search for the money in her wallet, with each new search she found a bill, she was too disorganized, that's why her wallet was always a mess. She arranged the bills by denomination and counted them under Lynda's watchful eye, but Lynda noticed the worried look on her friend's face."What's wrong Abby, is there a problem?" the younger girl asked, wondering if she should tell her the truth. The money wasn't enough to cover the expenses, it would barely cover a fifth of what was surely owed. She wanted to deny that there was a problem, but Lynda's suspicious look wouldn't let her."Don't try to hide it, I appreciate all the support, really, you are the only stable thing in my life, without you I would feel completely abandoned, but I know, we don't have the money to pay for medical expenses, do we?""Don't worry, I'm going to talk to the administration, we'll give some of the credit, we'll ask them to give us a deadline to cancel, I can work some overtime at my job to cove
