The Dangers of Love: My Husband Gave Up on Me to Save His First LoveChapter 1

I was kidnapped when I was five months pregnant. Tragically, the kidnapper was hired by my husband’s childhood sweetheart, Casey Paul.

My husband, Miquel Walker, was a top lawyer who would rather abandon me and our child to protect his childhood sweetheart. Even when my dad died, he did not come and chose to attend his sweetheart’s puppy's funeral.

I could not help exclaim, "Miquel, so you tell me that my dad is not as important as a puppy?"

He answered "Yes,” without hesitation.

After I filed for divorce, he pretended to be seriously ill and begged me to look back at him.

***

After I opened my eyes, I was in an attic in the wilderness, where Casey and I were kidnapped.

The kidnappers asked my husband to choose between two options and as expected, he chose his first love, Casey.

"You've been married since you were thirty, so your innocence is no longer important to you. That’s why I will go save Casey first, okay?"

After Miquel finished speaking, he ran straight to Casey without even looking at me.
