No matter how broken and scattered your heart is, you can always heal.Don't ruin your life over anyone.

When you marry a Casanova with a lot of assets, you can be sure you’re not the only woman in his life…..happens all the time!

When A Man IS A PLAYER HE IS A PLAYER ALL His Life and No Woman Can Ever Change Him . FACT TRUTH

[cherrytomato]

She should have gone to HSBC board with the evidence of his financial crimes. He would have been ruined completely, his dreams of living a happy life in Hong Kong destroyed, his reputation annihilated. He would be an outcast in the world of big finance forever. Murder is never a right answer.

[ginad]

Sarah should expose his crimes and made him lose everything instead of waisting years of her own life behind bars. It’s just not worth it.

[ssy]

She should have divorced him She lost her life for a worthless man. She still made three children fatherless. No matter how crap the father is. She could have divorced him and had a better life.

I have trouble believing that his 2nd wife did I not know about Sarah. James being a high profile banker in Dubai with a corresponding lifestyle is not an ordinary person. Everyone would have known about his marital status. At the very least Amara’s parents would have done a background check before allowing a foreigner to marry their daughter.

She made a mistake by killing him. She made herself suffer instead of let him suffer.

[clairericaud]

Obviously, one should never condone murder, but I can really empathise with Sarah having been through infertility and IVF myself. What a despicable man and what an absolute slap in the face. Poor lady, she deserved so much better. 💔

[P.L.P.E-zs]

I don’t understand why he didn’t divorce her when he fall in love someone else! Honesty is very important!

No partner is worth prison, divorce and live your life

Everyday when I pass those huge villas here in Abudhabi or UAE - just thinking what’s happening inside it’s it happiness or torture! Bless them!

It's not hard to split from a person but to have the betrayal and scheming done against you has serious psychological impact.

[Marta-tomf]

He had an agreement with his secret second wife, there is no way high profile man with his marriage well documented on social media was presenting himself to his second wife as a single man. This story is fake.

[inog]

The second wife having kids is what broke his woman . Very sad

[paulabaggett]

Wow I would never ruin my life over a looser cheating husband.

[saragiovannac]

I know firsthand how a narcissist can drive you to the brink of insanity, and I can deeply empathize with Sarah’s emotions. For any survivor of abuse, it’s never as simple as saying, “Why didn’t you just leave or divorce?” Deception is an incredibly difficult emotion to process—it shatters your sense of reality and can completely turn your life upside down.

Some of the details, such as names and locations, may not align for example, Al Seef Tower is in Dubai Marina, not Jumeirah. However, having lived through an almost unbelievable and deeply deceptive relationship with a covert narcissist in Dubai, and now dedicating my work to helping others recover from narcissistic abuse, I’ve encountered countless stories of manipulation, coercive control, and double lives like this one. Sadly, these experiences are far too common—not just here in the UAE but anywhere entitlement, power, and money thrive.

I’m sorry for Sarah, but not for James.

[sallyjohnson]

Excellent presentation of a massively complex saga.. James was an utterly horrifying human being..a sociopathic narcissist whose ego steam rolled not only a successful brilliant young woman, but banks worldwide.. I really appreciate your narration, comprehensively explaining the impact that rippled out.. delivering details with precision, respect and sensitivity ~ definitely looking forward to hearing more from you.. Thanks tremendously!

[jgopalKrishnan]

I don't believe the other woman doesn't know his marital status, Sarah is very brave and intelligent.
