After My Father's Death, I Left My Billionaire HusbandChapter 1

The day I found out Jesse Gilbert had taken my father's life-saving medical fund and used it to buy an apartment for some college girl, I jumped off the balcony.

I survived. But Jesse lost his mind.

Every day after that, he handed me the dog chain himself, got down on his knees on the balcony in the freezing wind, and let me chain him there while he recited vows of devotion.

Jesse Gilbert, a man who had never bowed to anyone, knelt there day after day with bloodshot eyes, his voice shaking as he begged me not to make myself sick with anger, begged me to smile at him just once.

He swore he would never betray me again.

But today, three million dollars had been swiped from the account. The exact amount of my father's surgery scheduled for tomorrow.

When I saw the smear of lipstick on Jesse's collar, I yanked the chain around his neck so hard my knuckles went white.

"You want to fool around, fine. You want to sleep with other women, I don't care anymore. But why do you keep stealing my father's life-saving money to fund your mistress?"
