After I Became the Perfect Wife, They Regretted Everything

Synopsis

My husband, Arthur Sterling, locked me away in a Swiss sanatorium for three whole years. This year, I was finally brought home. Upon my return, I became the flawless Mrs. Sterling, praised by everyone in Manhattan's elite circles. I stopped throwing hysterical fits when my husband left to care for his late partner's widow. I even took the initiative to bring her into our Long Island estate to help look after her. I didn't care if our two children wanted to throw away their Ivy League spots, nodding along to every absurd decision they made. I managed all our high-society obligations with airtight perfection. But Arthur wasn't happy. Watching me kneel on the rug, reaching out to take off his mud-splattered leather shoes, his bloodshot eyes flared before he violently kicked over a crystal vase. "I already sent Cynthia away! How much longer are you going to punish me?" The two kids threw themselves at me, gripping my arms tight. "Mom, we'll never call you crazy again. We'll never go looking for Cynthia. Please, just stop looking at us like that!"
