The Dead Husband Who Repaid Every Single Cent

Damon Kincaid has endured seven years of marriage to Bess Sinclair, a wealthy woman who reserves her devotion for Sawyer Maxwell, her childhood sweetheart. When Damon accidentally brushes Bess's arm, she orders her guards to break his legs and brand him, then imposes a $15 million fine for emotional distress. He works seven jobs to pay it, while his existence remains an embarrassment to her.

After Bess locks him in a soundproofed basement room, his seven-year-old son Noah sneaks him out. For that defiance, Bess has the boy beaten and thrown to the Rottweilers. She tosses Damon a new $200 million bill and gives him twenty-four hours to pay or plan a funeral. He sells his blood, but returns too late; Noah is already dead. As Bess spends hundreds of millions on a global art exhibition for Sawyer, Damon begs for a thousand dollars to bury his son, and she refuses.

At home, Sawyer tears open the shirt holding Noah's ashes, scattering them, and Bess crushes Damon's hand under her heel and tears apart the photograph that was Noah's last memory. Only then does Damon tell her that Noah is dead.
