When the Mistress Disappeared, My Fairy Tale Became a Nightmare

My husband, Ethan, a New York tech mogul, was having a blatant affair with Tiffany, his "assistant."

Tired of the humiliation, I cancelled her company credit cards and booked her a one-way ticket to a remote Bali wellness retreat.

His retaliation was swift and brutal. He had my parents, John and Mary, kidnapped from their Montana home.

He sent me a video: them tied up in a dilapidated barn, a digital timer ominously counting down. "Tell me where Tiffany is, Sarah, or your parents' retirement ends now."
