Missing just a few days could put my life in serious danger. My husband, <strong data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"363\">Daniel Carter<\/strong>, knew that better than anyone. He had picked up my prescriptions countless times and had even reminded me to take my pills.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"552\">That&#8217;s why I never imagined he would use my illness against me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"672\">One Friday morning, I woke up feeling unusually weak. Daniel was packing two large suitcases while humming to himself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"699\">&#8220;Business trip?&#8221; I asked.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"701\" data-end=\"712\">He laughed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"728\">&#8220;Not exactly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"863\">A few seconds later, a tall brunette wearing a designer dress walked through our front door carrying sunglasses and a luxury handbag.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"896\">Her name was <strong data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"895\">Olivia Harper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"917\">Daniel&#8217;s assistant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"990\">The woman I had always suspected meant far more to him than she should.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1062\">Daniel wrapped an arm around her waist without even trying to hide it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1138\">&#8220;I&#8217;m done pretending,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Olivia and I are flying to Greece today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1194\">I stared at him, unable to believe what I was hearing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1212\">&#8220;What about me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1226\">He shrugged.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1244\">&#8220;You&#8217;ll manage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1319\">I reached for my phone, but he snatched it away before I could unlock it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1388\">Then he walked into the kitchen cabinet where I kept my medication.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1410\">&#8220;No&#8230;&#8221; I whispered.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1452\">He pulled every bottle onto the counter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1475\">&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1513\">Daniel looked directly into my eyes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1549\">&#8220;Making sure you don&#8217;t interfere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1650\">Before I could stop him, he threw every bottle into the trash can and poured bleach over the pills.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1675\">I felt my stomach drop.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1710\">&#8220;Daniel, please&#8230; I need those.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1746\">He smiled without a hint of guilt.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1819\">&#8220;Without your medicine, you&#8217;ll probably be too sick to chase after us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1885\">Olivia giggled as if it were the funniest joke she&#8217;d ever heard.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1968\">Daniel grabbed my purse, removed my house keys, and walked toward the front door.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"1993\">&#8220;Oh&#8230; one more thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2014\">He stepped outside.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2026\"><strong data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2026\">Click.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2065\">The deadbolt locked from the outside.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2111\">I pounded on the door with everything I had.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2137\">&#8220;Daniel!

I crawled toward the kitchen, hoping there might be a forgotten pill somewhere, but the bleach had ruined every bottle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"304\" data-end=\"332\">Then I remembered something.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"334\" data-end=\"405\">The emergency medical alert watch my father had given me years earlier.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"407\" data-end=\"515\">Daniel had taken my phone, my keys, and my purse\u2014but he had forgotten the watch because I never took it off.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"572\">With trembling fingers, I pressed the emergency button.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"646\">&#8220;This is Emergency Response.
