The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Natalie trembled, desperately clinging to the French window frame, hoping Charis wouldn’t push her. In that critical moment, the office door swung open abruptly, and Brandon entered, holding a document in his hand.

As he stepped into Charis’s office, something seemed off. Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream pierced the air, causing Brandon to snap his head up. His eyes widened in horror as he saw Charis gripping Natalie’s head, dangerously close to the broken window.

“Charis! What the hell are you doing?!” Brandon froze, unable to comprehend the scene before him.

With a deranged look in her eyes, Charis shouted, “Don’t come any closer! If you take one more step, I’ll push her!”

Fear gripped Brandon, draining the color from his face. He never imagined such a horrifying scenario when Charis asked him to discuss work in her office.

Charis’s forehead veins bulged with anger as she continued, “Are you hurt yet, Brandon? I brought you here so you could witness Natalie’s death firsthand!”

She raised her head and let out a hysterical laugh, her disfigured face resembling a monstrous creature. Brandon was overwhelmed by shock and confusion.

“Why are you doing this? The psychologist said you had recovered,” Brandon pleaded, trying to make sense of the situation.

Charis laughed again, her voice filled with bitterness. “Recovered? Brandon, do you think life is that simple? I don’t care anymore! That fire turned me into a monster inside and out! My life is ruined, while you’re still happily with Natalie! It’s driving me insane!”
