On New Year's Eve, my husband, Max Davis, took me to a private dinner hosted by a big industry player. We had barely made our way around the room when a strange woman suddenly shoved me into the pool. When I insisted on checking the surveillance footage and calling the police, Max firmly held me back. He warned me to "remember my place" and not embarrass him in front of everyone. In the brief time I changed into another gown, I returned to find that same woman perched on my husband's lap, her red lipstick leaving traces on his collar. "Max, you're right! That nasty scar on her stomach really does look like a centipede. It's so hideous!" She giggled with mock innocence, adding, "It's been so fun messing with your wife. Next time, can I slap her when no one's looking?" Meanwhile, Max gazed at her like she was the only woman in the world, gently tracing his finger over her nose. "Of course, you can," he replied, eyes still locked on hers. "I'll even tie her hands behind her back for you."

Behind Closed Doors Chapter 10
Despite being a new company, my business grew steadily. Many of Max's employees flocked to join me, tired of sitting idle on a sinking ship. Without business prospects or decent pay at his company, the choice was clear for them.My company was the opposite: fast-growing, vibrant, and even reaching international markets. The day we secured our first overseas contract, I gave everyone cash bonuses, hosted a company dinner, and declared the next day off.During the celebration dinner, Max's call interrupted my evening. "Suri, can we meet up? I just want to talk."I hung up without responding.Though I was not actively following their drama, office gossip kept me informed. Coco's behavior at Max's company had only worsened since his public outburst at her, seemingly retaliating by harassing employees and driving away key personnel.She pretended to know everything about the business but could not deliver when it mattered. The company's reputation tanked quickly, and the empire Max spe

To celebrate my newfound freedom, I chose a private island getaway. While scrolling through social media, I saw Coco flaunting her relationship with Max, who promoted her to executive assistant. With that, she sat pretty as the queen of his company, just beneath him in authority.Coco reveled in her new power, but it quickly went to her head. On my second day of vacation, several longtime employees called me in tears. Apparently, Coco was targeting anyone who had been close to me, trying to force them out without severance.She was truly Max's loyal henchwoman, squeezing every penny for him.As I listened to their complaints, an idea struck me. These employees had been there since the beginning; they were the foundation of the company. Coco did not understand their value, but I did.I knew how hard they worked and how much they loved what they did. The situation left them heartbroken. Moreover, Max did not care about Coco's antics, leaving everything to rot.If they believed in me

That evening, I returned home, and surprisingly, so did Max. He brought an elaborate container of home-cooked comfort food."I made all of this myself. It's everything you love," he said, picking up a bowl of soup as the housekeeper handed him utensils.Leaning back on the couch, I watched as Max brought the bowl to me. He even blew on it to cool it down. "Drink this, it's good for you," he urged softly.I glanced at it dismissively. "Get it away from me. It's disgusting."Max's chest heaved, but he held back his anger and tried to embrace me. "Suri, I only love you. Why won't you believe me? The divorce threat was just to scare me, right? You wouldn't be so cruel."I immediately pulled away. "Mr. Davis, show some self-respect. Stop being so pathetic."Max contained his anger again as I casually flipped through a magazine. "Unless... you drown Coco and tell her you don't love her to her face. Then I might forgive you.""You're insane!" Max's facade finally cracked. The devoted h

The shock on Max's face lasted only a second before turning into a mocking smile. "Playing hard to get now, Suri? You'd never divorce me. You wouldn't throw away everything you worked so hard to build."So he knew. He knew I had invested everything in our marriage and was confident I would not leave. He thought he had me all figured out, but the truth was, I had misjudged him."I'm not as weak as you think, Max. I'll be better off without you," I said coldly. "Once we're divorced, your little assistant won't be a homewrecker anymore. She can officially be your partner."As I turned to leave, Max panicked and grabbed me from behind, but I shoved him away violently."Are you crazy? Keep your hands off me!" I snapped, wincing as the pain in my abdomen made me break into a cold sweat."Suri, be honest. Is there someone else? Is that why you want a divorce? You wouldn't actually leave me, would you?" His voice cracked slightly.When I tried to leave, Max lunged for me at the entrance,

I summoned all my strength to stand up from bed and hurled the vase from the nightstand. Without hesitation, I threw it at Max's feet.I spat, "She just threatened to end herself just to scare you, and you're losing your mind over it. I'm literally passing out sick, yet you couldn't care less. Your b

Already dizzy, Max's shaking made it worse. Still, I maintained my composure and replied calmly, "Her post just happened to appear on my feed. Is that a problem?"Max's anger intensified as he violently swept everything off the coffee table. The housekeepers stood frozen, having never seen him this e
