FAILURE

~RICHARD’S POV~

Morning couldn’t come fast enough.

After the circus last night….Monica screaming at me in front of half the city, my mother slapping me like I was still a damn teenager, and Claire looking at me like I was beneath her…I thought sleep would at least reset me.

But nope.

I woke up feeling like death warmed over, with Monica perched on the edge of the bed like some vulture waiting for the carcass to twitch.

“Morning, hunie,” I muttered, rubbing the grit out of my eyes. Maybe if I kept my tone soft, she’d ease up.

Her laugh was sharp, humorless. “Hunie? Really? You think sweet names erase the shit you pulled last night? You’re delusional.”

I sighed, already exhausted. “Monica, I said I’m sorry. I messed up, okay? Can we just…..”

“Don’t you dare touch me!” she snapped as I reached for her arm. She shoved me off like I was some kind of insect. “You’re lucky I’m even here.”

I held up my hands. “Alright, alright. I get it. Just—give me a chance to explain….”

But she

    DEALING WITH A PROBLEM ~MONICA’S POV~Richard had that smug look plastered on his face, the same one he wore when he thought he was cleverer than me. It made my teeth grind.“Are you seriously this clueless?” I snapped, unable to stop the words from flying out. “Do you have a screw loose, or is it just rust rattling in that empty head of yours?”He blinked at me like I was being unreasonable. “What’s your problem, Monica?” His tone was calm, too calm—like he’d already decided I was overreacting.“My problem?” My voice pitched higher. “You paraded after Claire last night like a dog that’s lost its master. Everyone saw it, Richard. Everyone. And now, this morning, you want me to apologize for ‘assuming things’?”His arms crossed tight across his chest. He thought that stance made him look in control, but all I saw was defensiveness. “I wasn’t chasing her. We were just talking.”“Talking?” I threw my hands up, incredulous. “Is that what you call gazing at her like she hung the moon? Bec

    THE PERFECT VIEW~CLAIRE’S POV~I could barely keep my eyes on the road because I was still choking on laughter. The image of Richard—coffee dripping from his designer suit, mouth hanging open in outrage—was playing on repeat in my head like the best sitcom rerun of my life.“Poetic justice served hot,” I muttered between giggles, wiping a stray tear from the corner of my eye. That poor server deserved a medal, or at least a fat raise.By the time I pulled into the hotel driveway, my ribs hurt from laughing so hard. I took a long sip of my own coffee, savoring the irony. “Serves you right, Richard,” I whispered into the cup like a toast.But the fun wasn’t over—I had a move to coordinate. With one hand, I scrolled through my phone until the moving company picked up.“Hey, this is Claire,” I said, pacing the lot like I was already in charge of something bigger than myself.“Good morning, Claire. How can we help you?”“I need to schedule a pickup from Alexander’s place.”“When are you

    TERRITORY ~ ClAIRE’S POV~The night had been a masterpiece.I sank into the couch with a glass of champagne, the bubbles fizzing like victory on my tongue. The charity auction was supposed to be stressful, chaotic even…..but instead, it had unfolded like clockwork. Every bidder dazzled, every paddle raised at the right time, every whisper of admiration landing on me. For once, life wasn’t slapping me across the face. Tonight, it bowed.I let out a laugh, tilting my head back. The best part? I hadn’t even needed to try that hard. Richard’s family had done half the work for me. Monica with her brittle smile and eyes sharp as knives, Eleanor hovering coldly on the sidelines, trying to act like she wasn’t rattled. Their tension only highlighted how untouchable I looked in comparison.They couldn’t hide their obsession.They circled me like moths to a flame.…not because they loved me, but because they feared what I represented. Independence. Respect. A life that wasn’t tied to Richard

    ANGER~ELEANOR’S POV~The night had been too long, and the moment I saw Claire’s eyes at the gala, I knew there would be no sleep for me. She had smiled, yes, but her eyes were shards of glass. People can pretend with their lips….not with their gaze.Richard thought he could brush it off. My son had never learned that some women don’t forgive, not when you make them a spectacle. Claire was one of those women.I picked up my phone before the frustration burned me alive.He answered on the second ring. “Hello, Mother.” His voice was off.…slurry around the edges. Drinking, no doubt.“Richard, you need to come over. Now.” I kept my voice flat, giving him no room to argue.“Why? What’s going on?”“Just do it. I won’t say this over the phone.”A beat of silence, then a sigh. “Fine. Ten minutes.” He hung up before I could remind him to drive safely. Foolish child.When he arrived, he opened the door as if the handle offended him, muttering a half-hearted greeting. He looked rumpled, the col

    MANWHORE~MONICA’S POV~I swear I could feel the blood boiling in my veins. From across the glittering ballroom, there was Richard….my husband, my supposed partner.…gazing at Claire like she was spun out of gold. His eyes never left her. The laughter spilling from her lips was the kind that stabbed right into me, because it wasn’t meant for me. It was meant for him.I wanted to claw her perfect little smile right off her face.The whispers around us were unbearable. I could practically hear the pity dripping from every corner of the room: ‘Poor Monica. Did you see the way Richard looks at Claire?’Fucking humiliating.I hadn’t spent all day wrapped in silk and diamonds just to be made a fool of. Every detail of tonight.…the dress, the makeup, the hair…..was for him to remember who I was. And yet the moment Claire walked in, I became invisible.What a manwhore.He was supposed to be mine. He was supposed to be standing beside me, making it clear that I was his wife. Instead, he made
