Chapter 2 - The Calculated Trap
For two years, Dominic and his mother, Victoria, had treated Audrey like an ATM disguised as a wife.
When they first married, Dominic portrayed himself as a loving, supportive partner who wanted a traditional family. Audrey, a brilliant architect who designed luxury properties, earned a substantial income. She paid for their sprawling Manhattan apartment, the luxury SUV, and entirely funded Victoria’s extravagant lifestyle.
However, the moment Audrey became pregnant, Dominic's behavior shifted from supportive to dangerously controlling.
He convinced Audrey to step away from her firm, claiming she needed rest. Once she lost her daily corporate income, Dominic began secretly transferring funds from her personal savings into his private accounts, telling her it was for "family investments."
Victoria constantly belittled Audrey, treating her like an incompetent child who needed Dominic's guidance to survive.
When Audrey went into labor, Dominic didn't even show up for the emergency C-section, claiming he had an "unavoidable client dinner." He finally arrived five days later, bringing his mother solely to collect the luxury SUV for their lunch date, fully intending to abandon a bleeding, exhausted mother and newborn on the sidewalk.
They believed Audrey was trapped, isolated, and too exhausted to fight back.
