My Crazy Husband Chased Me to a Different WorldChapter 1
Everyone in the mercenary team knew one thing: Gale Holden was utterly devoted to me, to the point where my absence was his greatest fear.
To give me a sense of security, he locked himself up—figuratively and literally. Even in the middle of firefights, with bullets raining down, he would check in to reassure me.
Out of concern for him, I kept my true identity a secret and joined the team as their strategist. But after one successful mission, I overheard the team joking around.
“Captain was in such a rush to get outta here just to see Flossie. Is she that irresistible?”
I forgot to turn off the body camera on Gale. He laughed and casually said, “I used up seven boxes last time. What do you think?”
My whole world froze. My chest tightened and I couldn’t breathe. A cold wave of shock washed over me.
Desperate to get away from the agony, I called on the system.
“System, I want to leave this world.”
The system's voice was cold and mechanical.

When I snapped back to reality, the monitor was still on. Gale had no idea what he'd just said.
On the screen, his attention was all on Flossie Dixon, his hands all over her as he kissed her like there was no tomorrow.
“Did you know how much I’ve missed you, my little temptress?”
I stayed frozen, pale as a ghost, my hands balled into fists. My chest felt like it was caving in. I couldn’t believe I was actually sitting there, watching this. It was like I was torturing myself.
The villa they were in had once been our home. The place where I’d been kidnapped and tortured. I promised myself I’d never set foot there again, yet Gale had turned it into their hideaway—a secret love nest for him and his affair.
Hours passed and only in the dead of night did their passion finally die down.
“So, who makes you feel better in bed? Me or your wife?” Flossie teased, her voice low and sultry. I could practically hear the smugness dripping from her.
Gale smirked coldly, running his fingers through her hair. “Don’t even try to compare yourself to her. You’re not worthy.”
His words cut like a knife. My heart twisted, but Flossie’s face fell. Tears started streaming down her face, but Gale didn’t budge. His voice stayed cold.
