My wife, Maeve Sinclair, has a weird fetish. She loves roleplaying as other characters. In her scripts, I'm always the OG husband who gets abandoned by the heartless wife. Today, Maeve will be the domineering CEO who's fallen in love with her assistant. Tomorrow, she will be the professor who has the hots for her student. Every time, she will make me sign a divorce agreement. The next day, she will laugh while ripping it apart. "Darling, this is just a game." But when my dad gets into a car accident and requires 200 thousand dollars just to undergo a life-saving surgery, Maeve is playing the role of a broke woman. "I'm a penniless woman who's gone broke, Neal. I don't have any money for your dad's surgery at all." I can only watch as my dad breathes his last on the sickbed. On the day of his funeral, Maeve approaches me with a young and handsome university student clinging to her side. "Darling, I've fallen in love with my student. Let's get a divorce." Then, she pulls out a document from her briefcase and passes it to me. This time, I refuse to wait for her to rip it apart.

Her Love Was Just a Game… Until the Divorce Wasn't Chapter 8
All of a sudden, it struck me that it'd been a long time since I'd looked at anyone this earnestly.I pushed the agreement back across the desk.Seeing the flicker of disappointment in Sabrina's eyes, I pulled a pen from my bag and added one final clause to the bottom of the agreement."Party A must promise to love only Party B for a lifetime, with no falsehoods or role-playing."With that, I signed my name."Now, it's your turn," I said, handing her the pen.Sabrina froze for a second before she picked up the pen and solemnly signed her name. As soon as she finished, she threw her arms around me and held me tight."Thank you, Sabrina," I whispered in a trembling voice.Breathing in the faint scent of her hair, I could feel the weight in my chest finally being lifted.…Life with Sabrina was peaceful and filled with happiness. She took care of me in ways I never expected and made me believe in love again.We worked together, traveled together, and turned our lives into somet

Maeve opened her mouth to speak, but not a single word came out."Nol… I…""Don't call me that. It disgusts me."I stepped around her, walked to Dad's headstone, and gently placed a bouquet of white lilies."I'm here, Dad. I'm doing well, so don't worry."I softly told him about how Sabrina helped reclaim the company and how Maeve was finally bankrupt, talking to the stone as if he were standing right beside me.Behind me, Maeve was still kneeling, completely still. When I finished and turned to leave, she suddenly lunged forward and grabbed my leg. "Nol, please don't go! Don't leave me!"She started wailing like a child, "I have nothing left. You're all I have! You can't just leave me here!"I looked down at her, at the face I once loved so deeply, now reduced to nothing but pathetic desperation. My heart didn't soften for a second."Maeve, you love role-playing, don't you?" I asked, crouching down to look her in the eye."You played the bankrupt loser so well, didn't you?

That was when Maeve finally remembered me.She tried everything and finally managed to track me down, cornering me in a coffee shop I used to frequent.She looked gaunt. Her makeup was smudged, and her suit was wrinkled and gray."Nolan," she croaked.I stopped in my tracks and shot her a cold look. "It was you, wasn't it?" she asked."Yes," I replied, not bothering to deny it.It was as if I'd drained the last bit of strength from her. She stumbled back and leaned heavily against the wall."Why? Is it because of that game and that I didn't pay for your dad's surgery?"She let out a broken laugh that sounded more painful than a sob. "Do you have any idea that firm was my life's work?""And do you have any idea that my dad was my only family?" I countered.She choked on her words. "Nolan, we're husband and wife—""Not anymore," I interrupted. "You deserve this, Maeve. You loved playing poor, and now I'm just making your dreams come true.""You can't do this to me! All thos

It was Sabrina. She'd matured significantly since our school days, and the soft edges of her face had sharpened.When her eyes fell on me, she froze for a split second before frowning. "How did you end up like this?"I looked down at myself, soaked to the bone with dried blood on my arms. I was a total wreck. "It's a long story.""Get in. We'll talk in the car."The Maybach smoothly pulled away from the rundown apartment complex.In the car, Sabrina handed me a soft blanket. "I just returned to Marinia and was handling business when Gordon told me about what happened to Mr. Woodward. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said, her voice low and heavy. "It's not your fault," I replied, shaking my head. If she hadn't shown up today, I couldn't even imagine what would've happened."What exactly happened?" Her eyes fell on the gashes on my arm.I sat in silence for a moment before telling her about my marriage and Dad's death. There was no exaggeration; just the silent, plain statement

"You're the one who can't tell the difference," I snapped at Maeve and hung up before returning to the interview.The job was a simple administrative role at a small firm. The pay was modest, but it was enough for me to get by.The interview went well, and I was set to start next Monday.…That

The heavy smell of cologne hit me the second I stepped into the hallway.At my door, Zane stood like he owned the place and looked at me with open disdain."What are you doing here?" I coldly asked."Just checking in on you to see how miserable you are after Maeve dumped you."He looked me up an

I looked at the shattered frame on the floor, at Dad's splintered smile.Suddenly, nothing else mattered. In the face of Dad's death, my dignity, future, and freedom were all weightless.Slowly, little by little, I bent my knees.Zane's eyes lit up, while Maeve's expression softened slightly. She
