Chapter 245: Easy death
"No, not physically," she said, shaking her head. "But he was so angry. He said horrible things, and then he... he threatened me."
Fredrick’s face darkened with concern. "Threatened you? How?"
Margaret swallowed hard, her eyes filled with tears. "I asked him for a divorce. I told him that I couldn’t continue living this lie, that I needed to be with you. But he refused. He said that if I tried to leave him, he would ruin me. He would take everything, and he would make sure that I never saw my daughter again."
Fredrick’s hands clenched into fists, his anger barely contained. "That bastard," he muttered. "He can’t do that to you, Margaret. He can’t control you like this."
"But he can," she said softly, her voice breaking. "He has the power, the money, and the influence. He knows how to manipulate the system. And I can’t bear the thought of losing my daughter , Fredrick. She’s everything to me."
Fredrick pulled her into a tight embrace, his heart aching for her. "We’ll find a way, Margaret. We’ll figure this out together. He can’t keep you trapped in this nightmare."
Margaret clung to him, her tears soaking into his shirt. "I don’t know what to do, Fredrick. I’m so scared."
He pulled back slightly, cupping her face in his hands. "We’ll get through this. I promise. We’ll find a way to protect you and your daughter . You don’t have to face this alone."
Margaret looked into his eyes, finding strength in his determination. "I don’t want to lose you, Fredrick. You’re the only thing keeping me sane right now."
