Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Send your wife to prison. She needs a lesson,” said Nadine Lambert, Jericho Bowman’s mistress.

Driven by her manipulation, Jericho and his son, Kashton

Bowman, had Romina Sandoval imprisoned, subjecting her to three years of brutal torture.

On the day of Romina’s release, Jericho and Kashton came to the prison to meet her.

She looked up, her gaze landing on the two men standing in front of her.

Jericho met her gaze.

He was instantly stunned.

What happened to Romina these past three years?

She had lost so much weight.

Gone was her radiant confidence. He found himself staring at a gaunt, trembling stranger.

How could this be? He had pulled some strings to make sure she was well taken care of in prison…

Was she … faking it?

As scenes from three years ago flashed across his mind, his expression turned indifferent again.

So what if she had been tortured in there?

She brought this all upon herself.

His icy tone showed no guilt at all. “Get in the car. After three years, I suppose you’ve learned your lesson. You should know better than picking on Nadine from now on.”

Kashton was stunned, too.

In his memory, Romina was so beautiful.

She had been luminous and radiant, her smile breathtakingly gentle.

His attitude toward her affected Kashton, who grew up showing her neither affection nor respect. His most repeated line was, “Mommy, you don’t even have a job. You have no right to tell me what to do.”

She used to think Jericho and Kashton were born cold.

Until Jericho’s unforgettable love, Nadine, came back to the country.

In front of her, his usual icy composure melted away. When he smiled, the outer corners of his eyes tilted upward, and the frost in his gaze was all gone.

For the first time, she realized he could smile this gently.

On their wedding anniversary, her postpartum complications flared up, and she felt the abdominal pain was tearing her in half.

Unable to bear it anymore, she called Jericho for help, only to be rejected by him simply because he was celebrating Nadine’s birthday…

Later, she barely survived the operation, where critical condition notices were issued multiple times. However, Jericho and Kashton didn’t even bother to show up.

After she was discharged and returned home, what came into her view was a messy home, her sulking son, and her indifferent husband.

Kashton even complained, “What kind of Mommy are you? You were gone for so long! Shouldn’t you be at home, cleaning? Look around-see how messy it is? You’re so irresponsible. Nadi is so much better than you.”
