Chapter 11

Penulis: Goldie Bloom
The day Nina received the court summons, she came looking for my help again.

Thunder rumbled, and rain poured down in sheets. She stood outside in the storm, crying herself hoarse as she apologized over and over, begging me for another chance and swearing she would never make the same mistakes.

I closed the curtains, put on noise-canceling earplugs, and lay on my soft, warm bed.

There wasn’t even a flicker of pity in me. She was only getting drenched. My five-year marriage had been nothing short of a five-year monsoon.

I assumed she would eventually give up and walk away.

The morning proved me wrong. When I woke and prepared for work, she was still standing outside the gate.

Her hair clung to her cheeks, soaked through. Her face was ghost-white from the cold. I had never seen her this pathetic.

I didn’t plan to speak to her, and I didn’t want to, but I had to leave for work.

As soon as I stepped outside, Nina hurried over. Her eyes carried a fragile, pleading look.

    Her crying held regret and desperation.I understood the truth. She wasn’t regretting what she had done. She was regretting the consequences she never believed she would face.Even if time rewound, she would choose the same path again.The lawsuit ended exactly as expected. Nina lost. They demanded triple the deposit in compensation, which was nearly a million.Wynn Group didn’t have enough liquidity. Nina emptied her savings, sold everything of value, and still came up short by several hundred thousand. She had no choice except to sell the small suburban house she had secretly bought years ago.She discovered the problem only when she tried to list it. The name on the deed had already been changed.It read: Zach Channing.No one was surprised. Nina trusted him implicitly. Transferring a house to him had always been effortless."Nina, you told me back then this place would be mine one day, so I transferred it. What’s the issue?"Zach was lounging on the couch when Nina confron

    Nina finally found my resignation record. When she saw my name listed as the applicant, her eyes widened, and she stumbled back two steps.A curse slipped out of her mouth. "Who approved this resignation? Do they not know what our relationship is?"She began calling the office like someone unhinged.The call connected almost immediately. Before the other person could speak, Nina launched into a furious tirade. "Did you verify this with me? Who told you to make decisions on your own?""But Ms. Wynn, you previously said—""What did I say? When did I say to fire him? He’s my husband, how do you not know that? How are you even doing your job? You can’t tell who your boss is anymore, is that it?""Get out of the company. Right now. I never want to see you again!"After screaming at the person on the phone, Nina hung up and turned toward me with a sudden, saccharine smile. "Darren, I had no idea she would treat you this way. Come back, alright?"She acted like she was standing up for

    "Darren, did you not review this proposal?"It seemed the realization finally hit her.Back when Nina took the project from me and handed it to Zach, I could never relax. I used to fix every glaring mistake Zach made until the proposal was complete. Nina always laughed and scolded me for meddling, insisting Zach could handle it independently.When problems eventually surfaced, she pushed the blame onto me, claiming I had not double-checked his work and accusing me of missing obvious errors.This time, I had not looked at it once. She said Zach could complete it on his own, so I gave him the chance to take full credit."No. I didn't check it." I shook my head.Nina’s brows tightened.She looked ready to explode, and I said calmly, "This is Zach’s work. It isn’t my responsibility. I have neither the authority nor the obligation to interfere.""You’re my husband," she snapped."And what exactly does that change?" I let out a short laugh. "Because I’m your husband, I’m expected to

    "Our issues have nothing to do with you, so stay out of it. If you’re fine, then head back first."However, Zach didn’t leave. "Nina, did you forget? My rental place isn’t livable right now…""If it’s not livable, then get a hotel. You’re an adult. Don’t tell me you can’t solve a basic problem like that. Or do you expect me to magically conjure up a new apartment for you?" Nina’s tone was harsh.Nevertheless, I noticed the subtle glance she shot him. She thought she was being discreet, but she didn’t know I already knew she’d secretly purchased a small house in the suburbs.Zach understood immediately. He casually slipped his hand into the pocket of Nina’s coat hanging by the door and retrieved a key before heading out.I didn’t expose either of them.It was not because I was protecting them; I simply didn’t care anymore.Even if I did expose it, what difference would it make? That house legally belonged to her. Whoever she wanted to give it to was her choice.Once he left, Nin

    Nina’s smile froze. "What do you mean, you want a divorce?"Her expression wasn’t as delighted as I once imagined it would be. Unexpectedly, there was even a trace of irritation.Zach paused only for a moment. A flicker of joy flashed through his eyes before he masked it under a scolding tone. "Darren, why are you being so stubborn? Nina only mentioned divorce earlier because she wanted you to coax her. She didn’t actually want to leave you."Put the divorce papers away. Don’t make trouble. Nina’s been exhausted for so long, and she finally made it back home. Don’t upset her."He made it sound like he was speaking up for me, but I knew exactly what he was doing. He was provoking her on purpose. He’d used this tactic countless times, and it was always effective.In the past, Nina had fired me in anger, cut my salary, and even deducted two months of pay, all because Zach fanned the flames at just the right moments.I thought Nina would once again act out of spite and agree to the d
