Criminal Love Reunion: A Family Affair ❤️
Our protagonist’s sister-in-law (SIL) was once married to a wealthy man who ended up in jail for white-collar crimes. Despite a suspicious divorce and whispers of powerful friends pulling strings, the family decided to surprise SIL with her ex-husband’s early release at her birthday dinner. The emotional reunion left our protagonist feeling disgusted, as she believes their love story is far from romantic.
