Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1016

Nancy tried to wrench her arm free, only to discover Luke's grip was like an iron vise.

In that horrifying moment, Luke couldn't have cared less about her well-being.

Only one frantic thought pulsed in his brain: if he didn't finish the job in five minutes, his entire life was over.

He aggressively dragged her toward the doorway, chanting like a madman, "I'm just taking you down for breakfast, Nancy."

As he yanked the bedroom door open, his expression contorted into a mask of pure malice.

Desperate, Nancy slammed her free hand against the doorframe, her fingers gripping the edge tightly to anchor herself.

"Are you psycho?" she shrieked. "Let me go! I'm not hungry!"

Luke's eyes went dead. Grabbing the heavy door handle, he slammed the solid wood door directly onto her exposed fingers with bone-crushing force.

An ear-shattering, blood-curdling scream ripped from Nancy's throat, the sheer agony twisting her cries into something inhuman.

Her three remaining healthy fingers had been violently crushed in the heavy doorframe, snapping under the immense pressure.

Instead of showing even a shred of remorse, Luke casually pulled out his phone and started recording her writhing on the floor.

"I did exactly what you asked," he said to the camera. "Now are we done here?"

Ignoring the excruciating torment radiating from her mangled hand, Nancy lunged up and grabbed Luke by the collar.

"You lunatic!" she sobbed hysterically. "Why would you do this?"

The excruciating pain was all the proof she needed that her brother had completely lost his mind.

Staring down at his screaming sister, Luke let out a chilling, empty laugh.

"Why did I do this? You should be asking yourself that."

The alternative was them releasing the crash files in five minutes.

As the primary instigator of that massive pile-up, Luke had directly and indirectly caused multiple fatalities.

To keep his life from being entirely derailed, the Grover legal team had spent a fortune and pulled every corrupt string available to scrub his name from the police reports.

And somehow, The White Family had obtained the raw, unedited footage.

If that hit the press, a lengthy prison sentence was a guarantee—and there was a solid chance he'd end up getting a bullet for vehicular manslaughter.

He was only twenty-one. His life was just starting, and he refused to be collateral damage in Nancy's pathetic war with Andres.

Nancy stared at him, utterly paralyzed. She had never imagined that a few arrogant words would boomerang back and literally shatter her bones.

"Luke, you monumental idiot!" she shrieked. "Can't you see they're playing you?"
