Alex Carter's mistress ran away again. This time, he actually delayed a commercial flight to bring her back. That night, he rushed home and found divorce papers in my hand. He let out a quiet laugh. "Her little tantrum got out of hand again. Took me a while to find her. You understand, don't you, babe?" I pushed the pen toward him. He scoffed. "Seriously? You're really leaving me? You signed a prenup. Walk away, and you leave with nothing." I nodded. "Yes." His smile faded. "So you're going to let your mother die?" It was his favorite weapon. The one that had always made me surrender before. I shook my head calmly. "No more treatment." His face turned cold. What he didn't know was that my mother had been on that same flight, fighting for her life. The delay cost her the treatment that could have saved her. And from that moment on, I would never let this place hold me prisoner again.
