My future mother-in-law demanded my ATM card to pay for the wedding. When I refused, they locked the door and shoved me against the wall. “Hand over the card, or the wedding is off. Who wants s preg/nant woman like you?” she laughed. My fiancé screamed, “We’re about to become family, and you’re still selfish.” They expected tears and surrender.

When I was pregnant with twins and going through terrible labor pains, I asked my husband to take me to the hospital. As we were about to leave, my mother-in-law saw us and said, “Where are you trying to go? Come and take me and your sister to the mall instead.” So he straight up refused to take me and said, “Don’t you dare move until I come back.” Father-in-law added, “She can wait a few hours. It’s not that serious.” They all left me there, doubled over in pain. An old friend happened to stop by and helped me get to the hospital. Suddenly, my husband burst into the labor room and shouted, “Stop this drama. I won’t waste my money on your pregnancy.” When I called him greedy, he grabbed my hair and slapped me across the face. I screamed in pain. Then he hit my pregnant belly with his fist. What happened next was shocking.

My husband never realized I was bringing in $130,000 a year, so he actually chuckled when he told me he’d filed for divorce and intended to keep the house and the car. He handed me the paperwork while I was still in a hospital gown, then disappeared and remarried as if I were nothing more than a liability he’d finally wiped away.

My husband locked me in the basement to die. His mistress brutally drove her stiletto into my bleeding hand. “How does it feel to be punished?” she smiled. I didn’t scream or beg. “Your loyal servant was caught upstairs with that ugly green pendant,” she sneered, holding it up. “You have no one left. You’re finished.” She thought she had won. I just smiled, my blood turning to ice. Because the time to send them both to hell had finally arrived.
