For Her, He Cut Off His Son’s Legs

On the day our son, Lucas Smith, turned one month old, my husband, Xavier Smith, learned that his precious childhood sweetheart, Wendy Xander, had been kidnapped.

The kidnappers made an outrageous demand. They wanted him to personally cut off our son’s legs.

He acted indifferent, as if it didn’t matter.

But behind my back, he drugged my drink with a heavy dose of sleeping pills.

Dazed and barely able to stay awake, I forced myself toward the nursery.

That was when I overheard his conversation with his bodyguard.
