The Wife He Betrayed
(2026)(Book 28 in the Her Marriage in Crisis series)
A novel by Ella Amafa and Lira Rain
She hears her husband confessing:
"I don't know how to breathe in this marriage anymore, it's dying." to another woman.
Mara Ashford remembers the man she married. The one who pinned her against hotel doors and whispered promises against her skin.
The one who said he'd love her when they were old, on the worst days, and every day in between.
But that man is gone.
Now it's locked doors. Silence. Reaching for a husband who flinches at her touch, and gives her cold sheets and empty rooms.
She survived it- then she got pregnant. Then she crept downstairs and heard something she hadn't heard in years—Her husband. Crying. To his sister.
"I'm suffocating. I don't know how to breathe in this marriage anymore."
Not once. Not once in two years did he say that to Mara.
So she walked in. Dropped the pregnancy test. And said, "Congratulations. You're going to be an aunt."
Then she left.
Dominic told himself he was protecting his wife. That his grief was too dark to share. So he shut her out—and opened up to everyone else.
Now she's gone.
And now he's realizing his mistake- and he's determined to grovel on his knees.
But his money can't fix what his silence broke.
She told him: "I don't love the man you are. I love the man you were. Go find him."
He's trying.
She's not sure it matters anymore.
A MARRIAGE IN CRISIS, second-chance romance about emotional abandonment, NO CHEATING, pregnancy, and the grovel of a lifetime.
Genre: Romance
