After my car accident, I overheard my husband, Xavier Colton, talking to a surgeon in the rehabilitation center.
“Prepare my wife for surgery and take one of her kidneys. Make sure the transplant is a success.”
He then placed a gentle hand on another woman’s arm and said，“Jennifer needs it to live, so the transplant team must be ready. I want her healthy again.”
I recognized the woman—Jennifer, a socialite whose family Xavier had financially saved.
I heard him sternly remind the surgeon once more, “But ensure Miranda’s recovery is flawless. If this surgery causes any other issues, I'll destroy you.”
My world collapsed. I never thought the man who once worshipped me would suddenly turn against me.
Without hesitation, I left him with signed divorce papers, wishing him success in his “life-saving endeavor.”

Escape from a Sanctuary Full of Lies

Subsequently, I was in a car accident that took everything from me. The future I had just reclaimed was gone.


During that time, I grieved so intensely that I barely functioned. Xavier, conversely, seemed almost relieved. In retrospect, he likely saw the accident as the perfect cover from the start.


Strangely, I felt a trace of relief as well. Perhaps it was for the best. A life tethered to a man who saw me as a collection of spare parts would have been an intolerable existence.


The Greek landscape was magnificent, and I chose to make it my new home. After securing a long-term lease, I settled into my whitewashed villa. It wasn't large, but it was airy and perfect for a solitary woman.


My life here was quiet yet fulfilling. To bring some life to my home, I adopted a stray dog I found on the beach.


The dog, with its peculiar habit of chasing the waves, was named Kima.
