Madison and I were known as the perfect couple everyone envied for years.
Everything changed when I attended his class reunion as his wife.

That was when I discovered Madison had been pining over his first love, Sally, all these years.
His classmates jokingly called her “Madison’s dream goddess!”
When I saw Sally, it finally clicked why he’d always tried to change my appearance and why
it felt like he was looking through me at someone else.
High heels, straight hair, all those dresses… everything was modeled after his idealized
version of her.
I used to think his silence around me was due to our lack of common interests.
After discussing the divorce agreement with my lawyer, my body finally gave in to the
stress.
I collapsed into bed, my exhausted body quickly falling into a deep sleep.
But even in my dreams, they wouldn’t leave me alone.
Madison and Sally’s faces alternated in my dreams, with a lingering sense of mortal dread.
The nightmare held me down, trapping me in its grasp.
After what felt like forever, someone violently shook me awake.
Sally’s tear–swollen eyes and Madison’s rage–contorted face swam before me.
I couldn’t tell if I was still dreaming or finally awake.
Until Madison’s roar cut through my confusion “Vou crazy b**ch How dare you call the

Madison screamed, yanking me off the hospital bed.
The IV needle ripped out.
I collapsed weakly to the floor, blood trickling from where the needle had been.
Madison’s eyes blazed red with fury. Entirely indifferent to my condition, he kept screaming at me to apologize to Sally.
When I remained silent, his anger exploded. He raised his hand to strike me.
But in the end, I felt only the wind from his palm across my face.
A hand shot out of nowhere, catching his descending palm mid–strike. In the next instant,
someone’s fist connected with Madison’s face.
“What kind of doctor are you, Madison? What kind of person? She’s still hooked up to an IV!” After berating Madison, Charles turned to help me up.
It was him.
I should have recognized his voice earlier. He performed my surgery when Madison went missing.
After helping me back onto the bed, Charles turned his attention back to Madison. He grabbed him by the collar and physically dragged him out of the room.
Sally screamed and ran after them.
The door slammed shut.
I sat on the bed, hugging my knees, listening to the chaos erupting in the hallway.
