The Contractual Wife's Silent Comeback

My husband told me I was a contractual obligation, an irritant he was forced to endure after a car crash stole his memory of our love five years ago. He replaced me with a social media influencer, a woman whose lies were as polished as her feed.

But when her baby was found with a small cut on her lip, she tearfully accused me of being a jealous monster who attacked an innocent child.

My husband, the man I had stood by through everything, didn't hesitate. In a blind rage, he ordered a guard to take a needle and thread and sew my lips shut.
