A Crazy Wife novel Chapter 1

A grim gate is opened. There is a woman in prison uniform, holding an archive in her hand which turns yellow.

Behind her comes an indifferent voice of a prison police, “behave yourself when you get out.”

“Behave myself?”

She smiles indifferently and comes to have a memory of Hannah Joseph, the master of this body.

Hannah Joseph was born in a noble and rich family in London, which then declined because of her father’s bad habit-gambling. At the age of 16, her mother died of a sickness, and three years later her father remarried a woman, who took her daughter with her. Her daughter was several years younger than Hannah Joseph. From then on, her status in the family decreased straight.

Her step mother bullied her and what’s worse, her sister grabbed her beloved boyfriend.

She tried to bear all those till she was 22 years old. In order to stabilize the Joseph family’s status in London, her father had to have her marry Chester Shahbaz, the disabled eldest son of a military and political family.

An accident happened to Chester Shahbaz in a military training. As a result, he got disabled, with paralysis of half of his body. Perhaps he was unable to attend himself for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile she had a low status in the Shahbaz family, and was treated unfairly.

Finally she was even accused of “kill by mistake” and sentenced to prison for three years.

She still remembers clearly those things happening three years ago as if they happened yesterday.

Sitting in the cab, looking through the window, with her slender fingers on her knees, she holds the corner of her clothes tight with her hands.

Hannah Joseph seems to have been bullied by others all through her whole life, so in the hopeless moment in the prison, she chosen to kill herself, and therefore, her soul was revived.

She has all the tough memories of Hannah Joseph.

After over half an hour’s drive, the cab drives slowly into a three-storey villa with a simple gate and courtyard in the mountainside.

She takes out one remaining piece of paper money from her pocket, gives it to the driver and walks towards the gate of the villa.
