Princess Sickness

His Trophy Wife, The Apex Predator

Eydie Pfefferle

My husband of three years, Arthur Vanderbilt, came home smelling of his mistress's perfume and threw divorce papers on our marble kitchen island. He demanded I sign away all rights to our assets for a five-million-dollar "severance," calling me a leech his family picked up from the suburbs to solve a temporary PR crisis. When I refused and demanded my four percent equity in the Vanderbilt Group, he and his mistress, Serena, launched a vicious smear campaign. They planted false stories on Wall Street forums, accusing me of laundering money for an Eastern European crime syndicate. They tried to force my hand with a check for five hundred million, which I tore up and threw in his face. To them, I was just a trophy wife they could easily discard. They had no idea that the "leech" they so despised was the anonymous investor who had secretly bailed out their entire company three years ago, saving them from bankruptcy. Their final move was to hire an actress to publicly accuse me of fraud in the lobby of the most powerful law firm in Manhattan. They didn't realize I was there to retain the firm's most ruthless lawyer. After security threw them out, I looked my replacement in the eye and made her a promise. "Prepare for an FBI probe into perjury and corporate defamation."

The person Elsa Johnson hated most was Anthony Johnson, who had been pressing her as the guardian.

Recalling the scene of seeing Anthony for the first time, Elsa still felt scared.

Because Anthony pointed a gun at Elsa at that time, and she was only five years old.

When they met again after two years, he grabbed her neck.

It was the darkest night in Elsa's memory. There was no light in the whole villa, and her mother came in a hurry to wake her up from her dream.

Elsa's mother did not even dress Elsa up but randomly put a coat on her.

"Honey, do you remember the boy your Dad once brought back?"

Elsa rubbed her drowsy eyes and replied in a soft tone, "Yes, why?"

Elsa's mother took out a small box in a panic and handed it to her, saying somewhat anxiously, "Today is his birthday. This is a present for him. You must give it to him in person. Do you understand?"

Witnessing her mother's panic, Elsa suddenly sobered up.

She vaguely guessed that her mother's gift was just an excuse and that the real purpose was to ask for help!

Her mother then called a taxi and sent her to Anthony's place overnight.

There were many people at Anthony's house, and they seemed to be celebrating his birthday.

As soon as they met, Anthony squatted down and grabbed her neck.

Even so, she stood bravely in front of him and did not step back.

Elsa knew she had to hand the stuff in her hand to Anthony as he was the only person who could save her parents.

As Elsa's Dad had once saved him, he would undoubtedly nod to reciprocate the favor.

"Brother..." Elsa called him timidly.

The slightly trembling cry made Anthony slowly get his hands off Elsa's neck.

She handed the box given by her mother to Anthony, and he took out a letter from it.

After reading the letter, his face froze, and the look in his eyes became grave.

Elsa initially thought Anthony would convene some people and go to save her parents immediately. Unexpectedly, he took her to a bedroom for resting instead of making any move to come to her parents' help.

For the following three days, Elsa had been locked up in the house, and Anthony did not show any intention of saving her parents.

No matter how Elsa cried and begged him, Anthony remained indifferent.

Given no other choice, Elsa had to resort to escape.

However, before she could even get out of the house, someone arrested her and brought her back. Then, she was kept in the room for a whole month.

Elsa finally accepted her fate after being arrested for many escapes.
