After the Strip Search, My Ex Wept for Me to Come Back

Synopsis

On the day of our engagement party, I, the groom-to-be, never showed up. Amelia tore through all of Chicago looking for me, but I was nowhere to be found. When her mother told her I had walked into a luxury hotel with another woman, she lost her mind. She trashed the venue and sent me a text: "You want to betray me, Daniel? Fine. But you look me in the eye when you do it." I didn't tell her that on the day we were supposed to get engaged, I was chained to a basement wall, tortured for five days and nights. Staring at the bloody, bandaged stump of my amputated leg, I swallowed the agonizing pain and typed my reply: "Yeah. I found someone else. We're done."
