I found out my husband, Logan Atkinson, had quietly added his secretary's number to our family plan. [Dear customer, the number ending in 8848 has been successfully added to your family plan. Effective immediately, all calls between plan members are free.] I held up my phone and looked straight at Logan. "You're treating her like family. What does that make me?" He sounded annoyed. "Regina said staying on the phone with me every night was getting expensive. If she's on the family plan, it doesn't cost anything. She's just used to saving money. Don't read into it." Regina said she had severe depression and couldn't fall asleep, so Logan stayed on the phone with her every night for at least seven hours. I stared at the call logs in the family plan. Even on our wedding anniversary, when I closed my eyes, wishing we would make it through another ten years and grow old side by side… He was still on the phone with Regina Dittman, coaxing her to sleep. When I didn't say anything, Logan looked a little surprised. "Wow. Quiet today? Finally learned how to be the bigger person?" I just didn't feel like arguing with them anymore. All those fights before had only proven one thing: he always chose Regina. After ten years in a broken marriage, it was time to set things straight.

Loved Him First, But Not Forever Chapter 8
When Logan first came to my house, he was like a stray cat someone had dragged in out of the rain. He wouldn't eat or drink. He just hid in the corner, arms wrapped tight around himself.I tried bringing him different food, but he would only crouch there, unmoving.Until one day, I brought home a cupcake I had made in class.I dabbed a little frosting on his lips. He licked it off, and his eyes lit up."Is it good?" I asked. "Sweet enough?"He nodded.The first thing he ever finished eating was that cupcake I made.I remember laughing. "You don't even know your birthday, right? Then from now on, today is your birthday."He looked up from the cake, hesitating before he asked, "Then will there be cake every year?"I ruffled his hair and thumped my chest like I was making some big promise."Of course. Not just cake. You'll have me, too. Every year, I'll make you a cake, and we'll celebrate together."Something I said as a kid carried on for over 20 years.We celebrated so many

Logan leaned against his car, the setting sun stretching his shadow long across the ground."Whitney."It had only been a month, but Logan looked thinner. There was a worn-out look on his face. "I figured you might come out to the countryside. I went town by town, one after another. Guess I finally got it right."He took a step closer. "I missed you."I moved away before he could get near me, my voice flat."What are you doing here?"His hand dropped back to his side. He let out a quiet, self-mocking laugh. "We're married. A husband coming to find his wife… Is that a problem now?"I met his eyes, calm. "We're divorced.""I didn't sign anything.""I can file for a court divorce.""I don't agree." His gaze dimmed, the faint smile on his face turning bitter. "I'm not divorcing you. I made a promise at your dad's grave. I said I'd take care of you for the rest of my life."So he still remembered.I didn't answer."I've already sent Regina away," he said. "She won't show up

Hotels across the city were checked one by one.The back roads, usually pitch black on stormy nights, were lit up like daytime under searchlights.Rivers throughout the city were crowded with rescue boats, and more than 100 divers searched beneath the surface.Logan pulled every string he had.He even got other powerful families involved.He offered huge rewards, all for one thing: to find Whitney.Reporters swarmed the city, camping out everywhere.Photos of Logan, disheveled and out of it, spread fast.

The voice on the other end of the call kept going."Mr. Atkinson, since the startup capital for Logney Corporation was provided by Ms. Welch, she is requesting a division of assets…"Logan steadied himself, but when he spoke, there was still a trace of panic in his voice. "Wait. I'm coming in now."Regina pressed a hand to her chest, her eyes already glossing over with tears. "Logan, my chest hurts."His gaze turned cold. "If you're not feeling well, have my secretary take you to the hospital."Neon lights flickered past the car window. Behind Logan, fireworks still burned across the night sky.On the drive to the law firm, his thoughts wouldn't settle.He couldn't understand it. They had been together for 20 years and married for 10. Why would Whitney want a divorce?Was it really just because of the family plan?He had already explained everything. He didn't have feelings for Regina.
