Wife on the Wire: A Mother's Sacrifice

My first life ended with a bomb, a cruel joke played by my own husband, Andrew.

Then, a blink, and I was back, the bitter taste of betrayal fresh on my tongue.

This time, it wasn't me on the bomb, but my mother-in-law, trapped on a pressure plate in a derelict industrial lot.

Andrew, an EOD expert, was our only hope, but I knew his true colors.

In my past life, he let me die while he was out with his high school sweetheart, Sabrina.

This time, he scoffed, called it a prank, and refused to come, humiliating his own mother in front of the entire town.
