“Let me be your real wife for just one month, Daven.” It was a simple request—one that sounded like the last plea of a heartbroken woman. But to Althea Grayson, it was her pride. The price she asked for the love she had given, yet never once received in return. She had known from the start: their marriage was never about love. Daven Callister had married her out of duty, pressured by his grandmother. There were no tender embraces, no loving glances—only cold silence and an empty house that never felt like home. Still, Althea held on. She tried to be a good wife, clinging to the hope that one day, Daven’s heart might soften. But her hope was shattered by betrayal—Daven wanted to marry someone else. The woman he truly loved. With or without Althea’s consent. And his entire family stood behind his decision. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Althea made one final request: one month of being loved like a real wife. One month... before she walked away forever. Daven thought it was a desperate move—pathetic, even. But that single month changed everything. The way Althea smiled, the way she loved so fully. Even the way she left—left something behind that lingered in Daven’s heart. And now, Daven was lost. When the love he had never once recognized finally revealed itself... was it already too late? Or should he fight against everything—just for one more chance?

“Are you… all right, Mr. Daven?” Andy asked, his voice edged with worry as they made their way down the same corridor they had taken to reach Harold’s office.“What kind of question is that, Andy?” Daven flashed a wry smile. “What will really help is if our ride shows up on time.”“What do you mean,
Harold laughed. “Please, sit down, Mr. Daven. I’m sure the trip to SunCity must have been exhausting.”Daven ignored the pleasantry. He chose a seat that would give him enough space to move if needed. Arsen settled to his left, while Andy remained standing close by, alert, his eyes sweeping every co
