Winning Back the Wife

Campus

During my senior year of college, I started dating Leo Whitman online. He was the hottest guy on campus. All through winter break, he texted me every day. He kept me company while I took my grandmother to her pre-op appointments. One night, at two in the morning, he even promised that when we got back to Boston, he'd make up for all the hugs we'd missed. Then the new semester started, and we finally met at the student center. The moment Leo saw me, his face fell. He pulled out his phone, showed me a photo, and said there had been a mix-up. He'd added the wrong girl on Instagram. The girl he had a crush on was my roommate, Vivian Blake. Back in December, Leo had spotted Vivian at the school's winter charity gala and snapped a photo of her from the side. He posted it in his fraternity group chat and offered $10,000 to whoever could introduce them. Except his roommate had sent him my Instagram handle by mistake. And just like that, I understood how I'd spent two months in a relationship that had never really been mine. Leo sat by the window without saying a word. After a long silence, he slid a signed check across the table. "We're done here. But I need you to help me win Vivian over. Write in whatever amount you want."

Chapter 1
When I didn't react, Leo pressed. "Any other conditions? Name them."He didn't hesitate, as if I were nothing compared to Vivian.I was still holding the ice cream I'd waited in line to buy. Matcha. His favorite.I'd thought he'd be happy to see me.Just like I'd been two months ago, when his message popped up on my phone.I'd secretly searched for that Instagram account countless times over the past six years. And suddenly, there it was.When his request finally appeared on my screen, I was over the moon.The boy I'd liked since high school liked me back.For two months, I thought I was living a dream.Then the dream shattered.It stung.For those two months, we only ever saw each other on video calls, but we talked late into the night about everything. We never ran out of things to say.We laughed together. We hurt together.Was that fake too? Apparently.But Leo didn't know who I really was.Vivian was the one he had wanted all along.All that attention had been meant for her.And n

My part-time job kept me busy. Most days, I left early and came back late.That day was no different. I headed straight to work after class.As I cut across the basketball courts, a ball came flying straight at me.I didn't have time to dodge. It slammed into me and knocked me to the ground."Hey, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"I opened my eyes, still dazed, and found a clean-cut guy crouching beside me. Relief crossed his face when he saw I was conscious, and he carefully helped me up."I'm Ethan Cole. I'm really sorry. Let me take you to the hospital."My head was spinning. There was no way I could go to work like this. I could only nod."What's going on here?"Leo appeared out of nowhere and stepped in front of us. His eyes immediately dropped to Ethan's hand on my arm.Ethan explained what had happened. Leo's expression stayed cold, his gaze fixed on Ethan's hand."Do you really need to have your hands all over her?"My head was pounding too hard to deal with whatever this was. I pre

Smack!My head snapped to the side as Vivian slapped me across the face.Pain exploded across my cheek.I pressed a hand to it and stared at her. She'd stormed into the dorm looking ready to kill someone. "Are you insane?""You have the nerve to ask me that?" Vivian shot back. "Zoe, I treated you like my best friend. And this is how you repay me? Why don't you tell everyone what you've been doing behind my back?"My stomach dropped.She knows. But what did I do wrong?Vivian's hands curled into fists."You won't say it, so I will! You're the one who used my name to date Leo online! And that wasn't enough for you. Now you've got his best friend chasing after you too!""I didn't—""Don't even try to deny it! If one of their friends hadn't gotten drunk and let it slip, I'd never have known. How long were you planning to keep this from me while you went after Leo behind my back? And I was stupid enough to have you answer my phone. I practically handed you the perfect chance! Now everyone's

No amount of foundation could completely hide the mark the slap had left on my face.So I wore a mask to work.I told the supervisor I had a cold and didn't want to infect the guests, and he bought it."Hey, you! Yeah, you in the mask. Get over here!"The man calling me over was clearly drunk.I walked over to his table. "Is there something you need, sir?""Isn't this supposed to be an upscale, uh, upscale restaurant?"He pointed at my face. "What's a server doing in a mask? Are you ugly? If you're too ugly to show your face, why are you working here?"His friends laughed.Just then, Leo and Vivian walked in with a group of people. They heard the commotion and stopped nearby.My face burned. There was no getting out of this. I took off my mask."Sir, I'm sorry. I'm—"He slammed his hand on the table. "And another thing! Why isn't this Coke cold? Are you looking down on me? I'm not good enough for a cold drink?"It had come straight from the fridge. The glass was still covered in conden

Chapter 5
Leo's check still hadn't arrived, and Grandma's medical bills kept piling up.I had no choice but to work more shifts.Outside of class, I spent nearly every waking hour working.Once the check arrived, I'd cut all ties with Leo. Then I wouldn't have to work myself to exhaustion anymore.I just never expected Ethan to deliver it."Surprised?" He got straight to the point.I nodded, then shook my head. Leo and Vivian were busy enjoying their new relationship. Of course he wouldn't come himself.Ethan smiled and pointed to a line on the document. "Sign here, and the money's yours."I knew what he wasn't saying.Once I signed, Leo and I would be even. Completely.I didn't hesitate.I signed my name with a steady hand.With every stroke of my pen, I left behind all the love and pain that had consumed me for years, sealing it all away with that cold check.A flicker of approval crossed Ethan's face. He handed the document to the lawyer nearby, then glanced at the flyers I was holding."I'll

I never saw what happened next coming.I'd barely gotten back to the dorm when Leo texted me."Is Ethan trying to date you?"I stared at the message for a few seconds before replying. "No."That was it. He didn't say anything else that night.I figured he'd just been curious and had already forgotten about it.Then, at lunch the next day, I got a message from one of my ex-coworkers."This gorgeous guy came looking for you! He asked where you'd gone and I didn't tell him. Guess he's here to make you feel better about the other day."She'd secretly snapped a photo of Leo and sent it with the message.He was sitting on a couch by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight streaming in behind him. Somehow, even sitting there doing nothing, he looked good.He clearly had no idea I'd been fired.Which meant he probably didn't know Vivian had complained about me either.I gave my ex-coworker a vague reply, then opened my chat with Leo. I stared at our conversation, wondering if I should say somet

It all started with that necklace.After that, Ethan and I began spending more time together.He often picked me up after work. We'd grab a late-night bite at a food truck and talk about anything that came to mind.When I started applying for internships, he studied with me at the library and even came with me whenever I had an interview.Little by little, I could feel myself opening up to him.As for Leo, I only heard about him through Vivian. I didn't see him at all.From everything Vivian said, the two of them were still going strong.That May was especially rainy.One day, I came back to the dorm, folded my umbrella, and heard Vivian complaining to Leo on the phone."Why won't it stop raining? We haven't seen each other in a week. Look at Ethan. He sees Zoe every day, rain or shine. Why can't you do that?"Leo was quiet for a moment. Then he said flatly, "I'll come see you when I'm done with what I'm working on."Two days later, the rain finally stopped.Suddenly, I heard people sh

The last mourner finally left.When I stepped outside into the sunlight, I realized I'd spent the past three days in hell.I'd shut everyone out.I'd stayed by my grandmother's side the entire time. I'd barely eaten or slept, and I'd cried until I had no tears left.Now everyone was gone. I was alone, and the silence made my chest ache.That was when I remembered my phone had been off since that day.I dug the charger out from a pile of stuff and turned my phone on a few minutes later.The second it connected, messages and missed-call notifications flooded the screen.After losing Grandma, I didn't think anything else could hurt me.Ten minutes later, I wished I'd never turned my phone back on.I'd first met Leo at our high school's New Year's talent show.A prop branch had ripped my pants, and he'd given me his jacket to cover up.To him, it had probably meant nothing. He didn't even remember me afterward. But that one small act was enough to make me fall for him. For six years, I'd s

That brief run-in with Leo was nothing more than a minor interruption.Once I was back in Phoenix, work kept me busy enough to put it out of my mind.I worked hard, and eventually my manager trusted me with a project of my own.On the day of my first meeting with the client, I arrived at their office ten minutes early. When the receptionist heard why I was there, she led me to the project lead's office.On the way, she casually mentioned, "You're lucky. This is the first project he's handled here. It isn't a big project, but he's young, handsome, and excellent at his job. Everyone here wants a place on his team."Young and easy to work with.I had a general idea of what to expect and thanked her.I straightened my jacket one last time and knocked on the door."Come in."That voice sounded strangely familiar.I didn't think much of it and opened the door."Hello, I'm Zoe Bennett from Meridian Group."The man had his back to me. The moment he heard my name, his hand jerked, nearly sendin

Luckily, Ethan wasn't badly hurt. He got away with a few cuts and scrapes.As soon as he was out of the hospital, he laced his fingers through mine and took a picture.Our hands were intertwined, and the Hello Kitty bandage I'd put on the back of his hand stood out against the dark background.He immediately posted the photo on Instagram with a one-word caption: "Finally."Then he pinned it to the top of his profile.I couldn't resist teasing him. "Is this necessary?""Of course it is. Zoe, I am so happy. Because of Leo, I was never sure how you felt. I didn't want to put any more pressure on you, so I stayed close and kept my feelings to myself."Leo and I have barely spoken in the past two years. At first, he blamed me for mixing up the Instagram accounts. After that, we just drifted apart."He smiled. "For the past two years, though, he's been running all over the world looking for you."I squeezed his hand. For once, I felt completely sure of where I stood."Thank you for not givin
