In a cruel misunderstanding, Brooklyn’s husband, Mateo, accused her of drugging him. Her pleas fell on deaf ears, and his tightening grip made her fear for her life.
A sudden knock broke the tension—Bella, Brooklyn’s cousin and Mateo’s ex, had arrived.
Mateo softened at the sight of Bella, revealing a tenderness Brooklyn had never seen. She felt like a stranger in her own marriage.
Later, Mateo asked coldly, “Has she admitted her mistake?”
The assistant lowered his head. “No. She sent a divorce agreement.”
Stunned, Mateo snatched it and tore it to pieces.
“This woman is outrageous,” he snapped.
