His perfect wife
His perfect wife
“Isabella once believed she had married the man she would spend the rest of her life with. Sebastian was wealthy, handsome, and charming when they first met. She believed he loved her, so she never expected their marriage to become a nightmare. Over time, Sebastian changed. He became controlling, insulted her, and used his money and position to make her feel powerless. He treated her like a servant in private but expected her to behave like the perfect wife whenever they were around other people. Isabella tries to endure the marriage because she still hopes Sebastian will change. However, his behaviour becomes worse, and she begins to lose confidence in herself. He sometimes makes her question her own memory and acts as though she is the problem whenever she disagrees with him. Rachael, Isabella's best friend, notices that something is wrong. Isabella avoids her calls and refuses to explain why she has become distant. Rachael worries about her but does not know how badly Sebastian treats her. Alexander, Sebastian's powerful older brother, lives a different life. He is wealthy and influential, and people respect him. Although he and Sebastian are brothers, their relationship is complicated. Isabella meets Alexander through family gatherings and social events, but she does not expect him to become important in her life. Everything begins to change when Sebastian's controlling behaviour becomes unbearable. Isabella starts questioning whether she can continue living this way. Her growing connection with Alexander creates another complication because he is the brother of the man she is trying to escape.”
