A Happy Wife

By Ina L Nara

They say I'm lucky. Married to a handsome, wealthy man. Living in a high-rise apartment with city views. Always smiling. Always in love... But they don't know why.

I never dreamed of a fairy-tale ending. Not when I grew up hungry, invisible, and utterly unchosen. So when my rich, handsome, and powerful husband offered me love, safety, and a way out, I said yes.

After we were married, he suggested we be chipped with an experimental neural implant designed to lock in our love. He promised the money from the experiment would give us a fresh start, a better start.

I hesitated. But in the end, I agreed. What else was I supposed to do?

Go back to nothing?

Now we live in a luxury apartment. I have a successful design career. I smile when I'm supposed to smile. I feel what I'm supposed to feel. The love chip guarantees it. I am a happy wife.

Until one day, I find something my husband has been hiding, evidence that he may have other plans for me.

Suddenly, I'm questioning why he asked me to marry him in the first place. I want to believe I'm just being paranoid, imagining the worst. But what if I'm not?

Because I was warned: there's only one way out of this marriage, and it isn't divorce.
It's death.

His... or mine.

A totally gripping and pulse-pounding psychological thriller packed with twist after twist.

"Felt like Black Mirror from page one. Twisty, chilling, and emotionally intense-guaranteed to mess with your head." -Goodreads, Lu thrillskillsandchills
