After my husband's business went bankrupt, I received a late-stage breast cancer diagnosis.
To raise money for treatment, I sold all my jewelry and clothes, and even borrowed $100,000.
When I returned home, I noticed a string of numbers had appeared above my husband's head.
Every time he spent money on another woman, the number above his head would increase by one.
As I watched the numbers above his head constantly increasing, I realized his bankruptcy was just a lie!
He had his arm around my cousin's shoulders, his face animated with excitement. "Don't worry, once that bitch is dead, I'll buy you a huge diamond ring!"
But what he didn't know was—
The one with breast cancer was him!

Husband Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

"If only you'd been this sensible earlier. The kid wouldn't have had to suffer."


"I want five hundred grand... no, make it a million!" Damien, seeing my concern for our daughter, boldly upped his demand.


Hearing his words, I started trembling all over.


A million dollars? Where on earth would I get that kind of money?


Noticing my hesitation, Damien pressed the knife harder against our daughter's neck, as if ready to use force.


Watching my daughter's little face turn red, my heart clenched.


"But I can only get two hundred grand right now. I'll give you all of it. Just let our daughter go, please?"


Damien shook his head. "No way! I'm not letting her go without the full million! Who knows if you'll just run off again!"


Seeing his stubborn refusal, my anger flared up again. "Fine, then kill me first! Go ask whoever you want for the money!"
