“Daisy, your private videos were posted on a paid forum!”

I was bedridden after giving birth, and that message from my best friend chilled me to the bone.

I opened the link, and in the HD footage, strangers by the thousands were watching my private daily life: breastfeeding, changing clothes, everything.

The comment section was packed with filthy words: “I love married women like this.”

The camera had been installed by my husband, Nathan Reed, two weeks ago.

His excuse at the time was, “This way I can check on the baby while I’m at work.”

With trembling hands, I tracked his phone.

His location was not at the research institute, but at Wisteria Apartments.

Standing at the door, a seductive woman’s voice pierced my eardrums: “Professor Reed, if your wife finds out you come to see me every day, won’t she be furious?”

Nathan Reed laughed. “I posted the camera footage to a forum, and if she finds out, I can still threaten her with it.”

So my body was the offering he had made to the entire internet.

In that case, he could not blame me for being ruthless.
