My Sleeping Beauty Husband

It was said that after the party, Simeon didn't come home; he went to see Mia instead.

Wendy called him right in front of me.

In an instant, she switched to a sorrowful tone, her eyes red with tears. "Simeon, let's get a divorce."

There was silence on the other end for a long moment.

"Wendy, I was only giving Mia a ride home. Why are you making a scene again?

"She threw wine on you because you deserved it. From now on, you'll live alone in the Bayview Villa to reflect on your behavior.

"I'm bringing Mia back to the Lake Manor. After tomorrow, I don't want to see you ever again."

Before Wendy could say anything, Simeon hung up the phone.

Wendy shrugged. "Plan A failed. Time to start Plan B."

Her Plan B was to fake her death and disappear.

Wendy quickly sold Bayview Villa, transferred all her assets, and even bought herself a grave.

On the day she faked her death in a staged car accident, I followed Wendy's instructions and called Simeon.

When he picked up, there was a surprise in his voice. "Layla?"

I spoke in a voice choked with tears.

"Simeon, Wendy...she's been in a serious car accident. She's asking to see you one last time. Could you come to the hospital?"

He let out a sneering laugh. "Does she think I'm an idiot? This is just another one of her tricks because I haven't been home in days.

"Layla, tell her if she wants to die, she should go ahead and die, but not in front of me."

I smiled and gave Wendy the signal.

She took off with my money.

I'd follow her soon after.

But to make sure Simeon believed Wendy was genuinely dead, I had one last scene to play out.

Three days later, I was in my bedroom rehearsing the scenario when Simeon burst in, his eyes red with fury.

"Layla, where's Wendy?!"

I shed a few tears and stared at him blankly.

"She's dead."

Simeon's body stiffened, and his face went pale.

"That's impossible!"

I showed him a doctored video of the car accident, but before he could get a clear look, I quickly pulled it back and took him to see Wendy's grave.

"She wanted to see you one last time, but you didn't come. In the end, she died all alone."

Simeon stared at the name on the tombstone, looking utterly devastated.

"How could this happen?"

He clutched the tombstone tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Finally, he muttered, "Dead...she's better off dead."

I felt a chill run through me.

"People were right. Marrying into a wealthy family was never a good idea. They never treated women like human beings."
