The Idiot Wife’s Revenge
My husband Maverick Clinton’s childhood sweetheart and I were kidnapped.
When he came to our rescue, he chose me without a second thought.
Sophia Kincaid was thrown into the sea by the kidnappers.
The drowning left her brain damaged from lack of oxygen, and she became mentally impaired.
Driven by guilt, Maverick brought her back to our home.
Simple–minded as she was, Sophia went out of her way to pick on me at every opportunity.
She even caused me to miscarry.
As I cried in grief, Maverick said simply and flatly, “We owe her.”
Later, when Sophia and I were in a car accident, he saved her first without hesitation.
Sophie, I’m sorry. For the past two years, I haven’t stopped regretting that choice for a single
noment!”
May, I recovered a long time ago. I’ve just been acting this whole time–because I knew that only a ‘broken‘ version of me could keep you by my side…”
Through the raging flames, I saw them clinging to each other as the fire consumed them.
When I came to, I was back on the day of the kidnapping.
This time, before Maverick could speak, I jumped into the sea.
And when I woke up, I became the “fool.”
Good.
This time, I’ll play dumb… and make them pay.

“Mona-!” Maverick’s anguished scream echoed behind me.
I sank into the freezing depths of the ocean…
When I came to, I had become simple–minded due to brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen.
No one could say for sure when–or if–I’d recover.
Maverick clearly couldn’t accept what had happened to me.

He held my hand, his eyes brimming with pain. “Mona, I love you.
“Even if you never get better… I’ll take care of you forever. I’ll never leave you.”
Thinking of my tragic death in my previous life, I couldn’t help but sneer inside.
The next second, I screamed and yanked my hand away.
I slapped him twice across the face. “Get away! Get away!!”
Maverick froze.
He didn’t move, letting me hit him over and over.
“Ms. Rinehart, please calm down!”
