Dear husband I can live without you Chapter 25: Are you challenging me?
Gerald’s Range Rover roared into the private lot of Smiths Corporation, tires screeching as they met the sun-baked asphalt. The echo bounced off the walls of the towering glass building, drawing eyes like magnets.He killed the engine, took a deep breath, and stepped out.The moment his polished shoes hit the ground, time seemed to hold its breath.Every passing employee turned to stare. Conversations trailed off. Keycards hovered in midair, forgotten. All eyes landed on the man who once co-helmed the empire.“Oh my God… is that Gerald Smith?” someone whispered, not-so-discreetly. “What’s he doing here today?”Gerald didn’t flinch. He’d grown used to the attention. It was the same mix of awe and curiosity he’d drawn since his twenties. He adjusted the cuffs of his navy suit and moved forward with long, purposeful strides, eating up the marble floor beneath him.Memories tugged at the edges of his mind as he entered the lobby—ghosts of another time.Back then, he and Erick had worked s
Dear husband I can live without you Chapter 24: A walking paradox
Chapter 24“Oh no... Oh my God!”Vivian's hands shook as she yanked the napkin from her mouth and jumped to her feet.Her thong was still down, dangling helplessly at her knees.“Hide—under my desk,” she hissed, shoving Erick toward the corner of the room.He scrambled to zip up his pants, then dove beneath her desk like a guilty schoolboy caught red-handed.The rattling on the doorknob grew louder.Vivian’s heart thudded against her chest. Too fast. Too loud.She yanked her thong up, adjusted her skirt in one frantic tug, and smoothed down her blouse with trembling fingers.Deep breaths, Viv. Deep breaths. She coached herself silently.Peeking under the desk, she spotted the top of Erick’s hair poking out.“Hide properly,” she whispered in a sharp panic, pressing down on his head until not a single strand was in sight.She turned to the door, face composed—barely—and opened it with a smile that screamed nothing to see here.“Hi Olivia,” she said, a bit too chipper.Olivia arched a br

Vivian jumped as her phone slipped from her hand, landing face-down on the floor."I guess that was your friend," Eric said, his voice smooth and unexpected.She looked up from her laptop, startled.Eric leaned casually against the doorframe, a single flower in one hand and a paper bag in the other. He looked completely at ease, like he belonged there."Eric? What are you doing here?""Admiring your beauty, my love," he said with a soft grin.Vivian stood and crossed the room toward him."Flowers for you." He kissed her cheek and slipped the flower into her hand.She smiled despite herself. "Thank you.""You're glowing this morning," he said, gently brushing her chin with the back of his hand.Her dark waves framed her small, angular face perfectly. Even under the office lights, her olive skin had a soft warmth to it.She nodded toward the bag in his other hand. "What's in there?""Lunch. Your favorite."He placed the bag on her desk. Vivian peeked inside, her nails polished a soft n
Dear husband I can live without you Chapter 22: I got the job
Anna hovered at the threshold of the glass door, her pulse thrumming like a warning drum. Every instinct screamed at her to pivot, walk away, and spin straight back to the safety of her car. But then she thought of her plans—her goals. Of the financial freedom she craved. Of the life she refused to keep putting on hold.So she stepped inside and slid into the seat.She crossed her legs, spine straight as steel, masking the nerves crawling up her throat. Gerald sat across from her, fingers interlaced like a man with both time and power on his side.The office was pristine—silent except for the low, ever-present hum of the city beyond the glass. Thirty stories up, the world outside looked like a simulation. But inside this room, everything was real. Up close. Sharp.Gerald studied her the way a sculptor studies raw marble—calculating, discerning, searching for the cracks.“Let’s get this out of the way,” he said, finally breaking the silence. “You didn’t know I was the CEO.”Anna shook
Dear husband I can live without you Chapter 21: Prove it
The next morning, Anna dressed with purpose.She slipped into a tailored navy-blue blazer, its sharp lines hugging her frame, layered over a crisp white blouse neatly tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt that hugged her hips just right. From her jewelry box, she chose bold statement earrings—elegant but daring. She pulled her hair into a sleek, no-nonsense ponytail and brushed on soft, natural makeup that enhanced her features without shouting for attention.A final touch: the floral cologne Vivian had gifted her over the weekend. Feminine. Sophisticated. Just the right hint of mystery.As she stepped out of her bedroom, the sharp click of her nude pumps echoed over the marble floor. Downstairs, Andy was on the couch, mid-sentence on a business call. But the sound of her heels—and the sight of her—cut through everything.He turned. And froze.His phone slipped from his ear. His jaw slackened."Where are you going?" he asked, curiosity laced with disbelief.Anna paused, swiped a fre
Dear husband I can live without you Chapter 20: Pinky promise
Penelope's heart pounded like a war drum inside her chest.Does he know? Did Charles betray me?She turned slowly, face composed, not a single muscle twitching. But inside, a storm raged. Her instincts screamed, Run. Her pride screamed, Fight. But none of that mattered now.“I think Anna still owes us an apology,” Andy said, cool and cruel.Anna’s breath hitched. “What?” Her voice came out small, stunned. Eyes wide.Penelope exhaled quietly, a breath of relief escaping her lips. “Of course. Of course,” she said, sliding back into her seat, masking her glee with fake composure.Andy turned fully to Anna now, his tone shifting to something almost casual—like a man offering a deal he knew the other person couldn’t refuse.“Since we haven’t found any proof, I’m letting this go—for now,” he said.Anna stood frozen. Her blood was boiling. Letting it go? You cornered me like an animal in front of everyone and now you're acting gracious? Still, she didn’t move.Andy went on. “But before you c
