Kidnappers Drove My Wife Mad, So I Want DivorceChapter 1
A gift from fate made me a nouveau riche, yet before three days had passed, my wife was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded 3.5 million, but I refused to pay.
Her parents, consumed with rage, clawed at me and cursed me as a heartless beast, saying I valued money over her life. Even my own parents urged me to hand over the ransom, but still I refused.
A few days later, when the kidnappers received nothing, they released her anyway. She came back covered in bruises, bleeding, her mind completely shattered. The moment her eyes met mine, she went mad and lunged at me as if I were her father’s killer.
I glanced at the bite mark on my shoulder and said coldly, “Our marriage is over. I’ve decided to divorce you.”
Nikolai Pacheco’s palm crashed against my face, his bloodshot eyes blazing as he roared, “Beast! Are you even human?”
——
In the living room, relatives from both sides stared at me in stunned disbelief. Amirah Pacheco had been tormented into that state, yet I felt no pity; I only offered her a divorce.
To them, I was no longer human, not even a beast.
Facing the Pacheco family’s furious eyes, I spoke coldly to Amirah. “The divorce, my lawyer will handle everything.”
A sharp, piercing cry tore from her throat. Like a woman possessed, she swept the coffee table bare, sending everything crashing to the floor, then burst into the bedroom.
Our wedding photos and the cosmetics I had given her were all smashed to pieces.
I watched her unravel with a calm that chilled the room.
“My poor daughter…” Elianna Pacheco rushed forward, wrapping her arms around Amirah as tears poured like a broken dam.
“Ah… ah…”
Amirah thrashed wildly, her features warped, eyes full of madness. Elianna tried to hold her, but Amirah’s strength overpowered her. She shoved her mother down and lunged for a chair as if to strike.
Everyone cried out in alarm, rushing forward to stop her.
“Aminah, she’s your mother!” Nikolai roared.
Amirah froze for a heartbeat, then the heavy chair slammed down on Elianna, who collapsed, rolling on the ground in agony as her wails filled the room.
But Amirah had lost all reason. She kicked her mother again and again until Nikolai rushed in and clutched his daughter tightly, finally restraining her madness.
“Mom!” Her younger brother hurried over to help Elianna up. “Sis, are you insane? Why are you hitting Mom?”
