From Neglected Wife to CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 99

In the end, he actually tied me up and dumped me in the guest room.

What happened next? Well, I’ll leave that up to your imagination.

After watching all three videos, I was equal parts mortified and relieved. At least there wasn’t any footage of him helping me shower or change clothes—otherwise, I might have just died right there from embarrassment.
