I felt humiliated and furious. I shouted, "Get your filthy foot off me! Get out of my house, or I'll call the police!"
Seeing that his men found nothing, Henry's face turned as dark as a storm cloud.
Instead of removing his foot, he pressed down even harder.
The pressure on my chest was so intense that I could hardly breathe.
"Where the hell is Daisy? Didn't you throw her some bullshit bachelorette party tonight?"
Watching him lose control, a dark satisfaction rose within me.
I sneered, "My place is too small for a group of men to have any real fun, so of course, I picked a more spacious location for her!"
Hearing this, Henry kicked me hard in the chin, sending a wave of pain and tears streaming down my face.
"This is your last chance to speak clearly!
"Where did you take Daisy?"

I bit my lip, refusing to show any weakness in front of him.
"Daisy was probably busy with her games, and I was just her scapegoat. There was no way she'd tell me where she was." I thought.
After a tense standoff, I finally sneered, "You're her husband and you don't know where she is? How should I know? Maybe I should ask those guys she's with, one of them might be able to tell you!"
Henry's anger flared, his face darkening dangerously, on the verge of exploding.
He grabbed my collar, yanking me up from the ground.
Just as he raised his hand to strike, one of the bodyguards noticed the plane tickets on the coffee table.
In the next moment, the tickets and the documents from my company, showing that I was to go abroad for training, were handed to Henry.
He glanced at them with disdain, a mocking smile spreading across his face.
"Ruined my wedding, made my bride disappear, and you still think you can escape the country?
"Dream on, you'll have plenty of time for that after you're dead!"
With that, he pulled out his phone and called my boss.
I immediately reached out to stop him, but the bodyguards restrained me, pinning my limbs down.
"Back when we were in love, Henry introduced me to the company, and I worked hard to earn my current position.
With just a word from him, my career could be destroyed."
The thought of this made panic surge through me.
"In my previous life, I had given up the chance to go abroad because of them, only to meet a tragic end in the mountains.
After my rebirth, I bought my ticket and packed my bags as quickly as I could. Was I still unable to escape?" I thought.
