In Sickness and in Wealth: A Medical Psychological Thriller

By Ethel Miller

She gave him everything. Now he wants her life.

For ten years, Emma Bennett sacrificed everything for her husband Marcus-her inheritance, her career, her relationship with her father. She funded his first food truck with her entire trust fund. She worked double shifts while he built a restaurant empire. She forgave his coldness, his cruelty, his affair.

When kidney failure puts Marcus on death's door, Emma makes one final sacrifice: she agrees to donate her kidney. Maybe this will finally prove her worth. Maybe this will save their marriage along with his life.

But Marcus doesn't want to save their marriage. He wants to end it-permanently.

While Emma prepares for surgery, Marcus is planning a future that doesn't include her. He's booked a honeymoon in Bali with his mistress. He's printed wedding invitations for six weeks after the transplant. And he's paid the surgeon $150,000 to ensure Emma never wakes up from the anesthesia.

When Emma accidentally overhears Marcus discussing her murder, she realizes the man she loved never existed. The grateful boy who cried when she gave him her trust fund became a monster willing to kill for convenience.

Now Emma must make an impossible choice: disappear and let Marcus get away with it, or become the bait in a trap that could either save her life or end it.

Armed with a wire, an FBI agent, and a rage she's suppressed for a decade, Emma will play the devoted wife one last time-and make Marcus Bennett regret ever underestimating her.

A gripping exploration of love, manipulation, and the moment when survival becomes more important than sacrifice, In Sickness and in Wealth asks the question: What becomes of a woman who gives everything away-and then takes it all back?

A psychological thriller about toxic love, medical conspiracy, and the deadly cost of staying too long.
