My husband repeatedly sla***ed me in the face over a trivial matter. The next morning, he saw a lavish feast and said, “It’s good that you’ve finally come to your senses!” But he panicked and nearly fainted from shock after seeing the guests seated at the table…

“He forced me to send the documents. He said he’d ruin my career if I refused. He also made me book the hotel rooms.”

Daniel exploded instantly.

“You little—”

The officer stepped directly between them.

Evelyn pointed at me furiously.

“You planned this? You cooked an entire meal just to humiliate us?”

I smiled for the first time in years.

“No,” I replied. “I cooked because Daniel wanted witnesses to my obedience.”

I looked directly at my husband.
