Thirteen Million Dollar Man

Geraldine, once known as The Scarlet Healer, spent eight years building her husband Jeffrey Delacruz into the ruthless mafia king of New Jersey. Betrayed by his obsession with the innocent Amelia, she endured his cruelty—he ordered her mother’s death, abandoned her when she was kidnapped, and hid divorce papers to erase her from his life.​ After losing their unborn child and suffering severe torture at his hands, she faked her death, fled the country with her mother, and vanished from the underworld.​ For months, Jeffrey searched frantically, slowly realizing Geraldine was the only one who truly understood and stood by him. When he finally tracked her to a foreign city, he begged her to return. But Geraldine, now free and reborn, shot his hand as revenge for ruining hers, declaring their debt settled. She walked away forever, leaving the mafia king broken and alone.
