Chapter 1

Author: Sweetie Moore
As soon as the words left my mouth, my wife Alexia Holt's voice turned cold.

"Just because I didn't take you to dinner and loaned a diamond ring to Caleb to save him from embarrassment, you want a divorce? Over something this small?"

"Yes."

I had a thousand things I wanted to say. But if my feelings were just a small matter to her, then no matter how much I said, she would only see it as me whining without reason.

I was about to hang up when, suddenly, from the other end of the line, I heard the intern Caleb Foster's voice.

"Alexia, the fireworks show is about to start. Don't keep working."

Alexia's voice turned soft as she responded to him, "Okay."

Then she snarled at me impatiently, "How many times do I have to explain this to you? Caleb is a high-end talent I spent a lot to recruit. Taking him to dinner, helping him complete a game punishment, having his back—I'm just trying to strengthen his sense of belonging to the company.

"You're my husband. You should think like me and put the company's interests first. How can you throw a tantrum every day and hold me back?

"If you put all that messy emotional energy into your work, the company would have broken into the top ten national firms a long time ago. Reflect on yourself. I have work to do. I can't talk anymore."

With that, she hung up quickly.

I tried to smile, but it came out bitter. I sent Alexia a message: [The company shares are yours. Give me the house.]

After a long time, Alexia sent a reply: [Still throwing a tantrum? You just want an explanation, don't you? Fine. I'll give you one.]

I didn't know what kind of explanation she had in mind. But scrolling through my social media feed, I came across Caleb's unique apology letter.

[The post from earlier was just a punishment for losing a game. It wasn't real. Thanks to the boss for playing along and for sending over that big diamond ring. However, I shouldn't have posted those photos online, causing malicious people to target them and file complaints, which created negative influence for the company and the boss. I am deeply sorry. Finally, I want to emphasize again: my boss is not my girlfriend. Everyone, stop spreading false rumors. Be careful not to provoke someone's dark revenge.]

My coworkers all figured out that the "someone" Caleb was talking about was me. They immediately flooded the comments section, cursing me out.

[Everyone in the company knows Elliot has a crush on Alexia. Just because he has a strong performance, she turns a blind eye to his crush. He doesn't really think that just because Alexia won't respond, it means she agrees, does he?]

  • My Wife Digs the Intern   Chapter 11

    Alexia walked in and saw the house in total chaos.She also noticed all the couple items I had thrown away.She screamed in anger. "How could you throw these away? These are the proof of our love!"I let out a bitter laugh. "They're just useless trash. Throwing them away is no big deal."Honestly, I had my doubts. Back when she chose me, was it really because she loved me? Or was I just the most suitable option available to her at the time?I found my answer.Whenever she was with me, everything she did felt like she was just checking off a task list.But with Caleb? She had that shy, girlish glow of someone in love.Alexia glared at me, furious. Then she gritted her teeth. "Fine. You don't want any of it? I do."Whatever. I didn't care.After I finished sorting everything out, I pushed her to move her things out, too.Once the house was completely empty, the buyer came.Once I got the money, I didn't stick around. I left immediately.Alexia found an excuse to drive me aga

    But now, I just gave a cold nod."Yes. You have to leave. Actually, never mind. Whether you leave or not, I'm selling the house anyway. Do whatever you want."If she wouldn't leave, then I would. We were divorced. I didn't want to live under the same roof with her anymore.At first, when I said "never mind," a flicker of hope lit up in Alexia's eyes.But when she heard what came after, her mouth fell open in shock."You're selling the house?"I nodded.She couldn't stop herself from demanding an answer."This is the house we bought with our very first earnings! It holds so many beautiful memories for us. This was the starting point of our dream. I thought you wanted the house because you wanted to hold onto those memories. I never thought you would sell it!"Alexia screamed her accusations at me.But I just looked at her coldly."If this home is so sacred to you, then why did you bring Caleb here?"Before, she used to make him wait downstairs. Then it became the front door.

    Alexia rolled down the window. There was far less arrogance on her face than usual. She looked at me with complicated emotions and let out a soft sigh."Get in. I'll drive you home."Funny. Back when I was her husband, I never got to ride in her car. Now that we were divorced, I was finally getting the experience.I refused."No thanks. I called a car."Alexia raised an eyebrow, hesitated, then spoke again."Get in. I need to go back anyway and move my stuff out. You want the house, right? Then I'll move out."Since she put it that way, I didn't say no.She was right. Even if she hadn't brought it up, I was going to. If she didn't move her things out, how was I supposed to sell the house?I planned to sit in the back. But she opened the passenger door for me. So I had no choice but to sit up front.The moment I sat down, I saw a bobblehead of Caleb's face right there on the dashboard.Alexia's face went stiff. She hurried to explain."I brought him along to a client meeting

    When Alexia finally graduated from grad school, she proposed to me. She said she wanted to start a business.I stayed by her side, starting from nothing, step by step, all the way to where we were now.In the beginning, she used to talk about how she would repay me someday. Then she started taking my kindness for granted.Later on, she decided that my being good to her was just what she deserved. And she always thought I wasn't doing enough.She imagined me as this perfect, all-powerful husband. And any time I fell short—even a little—she would criticize me.She criticized me for not being romantic. She cursed me out for not saying sweet things. She even blamed me for looking tacky and unsophisticated.Putting me down became her default setting.But she forgot one thing. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have any of this.She kept hitting my chest. I grabbed her hands.There was no love left in my eyes. Just exhaustion. Pure and total depletion.I had poured so much emotion

    Alexia was speechless for a moment. Then she exploded."Elliot, you tricked me? I trusted you! That's why I didn't read it carefully. Seven years of marriage, and you stab me in the back like this?"Listening to her fire off accusations like always, I just shook my head with a bitter smile.It was her own fault. But just like before, her first instinct was to shove the blame onto me.In the past, I might have gotten angry. I might have argued back.But we had been fighting like this for seven years.She was always unreasonable, and I could never win an argument with her.Now, I was just tired of it. I didn't have the energy to waste words anymore."Say whatever you want."I believe I was fair about the assets. My salary and commissions were high. We could have bought a house easily. So I'll just take the house we lived in. You can keep the company shares."I wasn't going to do something stupid like walk away with nothing. But I also believed I had done right by Alexia.Techn

    Alexia froze when the divorce license hit her.She bent down, picked it up off the floor, and turned it over in her hands, staring at it in disbelief."Elliot, when did you ever get me to sign divorce papers? Do you really think you can fool me with a fake?"The moment the words left her mouth, the entire room went dead silent.Everyone's eyes darted to Caleb. People started whispering to each other, looking confused."Wait... what? Elliot is Alexia's actual husband? So we've been attacking the wrong person this whole time?""No wonder Elliot lost his mind when she took Caleb out for that candlelit dinner. Alexia was his wife. Honestly, I get it now.""This is huge. So everyone was right from the beginning. Caleb really did get in through connections. And it's worse than we thought.""Right. We all saw it. You'd ask him to print a document, and he'd still mess it up. Alexia has never tolerated mistakes. One wrong punctuation mark and she'd scream at you until you quit. But with
