All Chapters of My Disabled Billionaire Husband : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Prologue Arlene's POV “Miss Arlene Rhodes, you have been found guilty for the second degree attempted murder of Mr. Martins and illegal possession of firearms. You are hereby sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment.” The Chief Judge declared, striking his gavel with so much ferocity.“All rise!” The court clerk announced, signalling the end of this court session.My eyes scanned through the crowd till it landed on my parents, sister and my boyfriend Tristan. I had half expected them to believe me when I told them that this whole thing was a misunderstanding. I was being framed for this, but the looks of disgrace and disgust on their faces said it all.“Please, I didn't do this…” I whispered, my voice barely holding together. “I’m not a monster.”But the silence that followed was louder than any accusation.They had already decided who I was.

Arlene's POV That whole night, I stared blankly at the ceiling. Memories flowed in and out, of the good times I had spent with Tristan, when we first met, our first kiss.

You're in the wrong way…” she tried to grab my arm but I yanked it off.“I don't care! I must leave this place at once.” “ But that's not the way to the exit, Ma'am.” I paused in my steps, looking around and it really didn't feel like the way we took earlier.“Oh…please lead th
