All Chapters of My contracted wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

His eyes brimmed with tears and fear. His mouth hung open, trying to form words, but no sound escaped. He stood frozen, knees too weak to hold him upright.The heavy silence in the room and the thick tension in the air made it painfully clear—something was terribly wrong.George stood helplessly, watching his wife pack her bag. He didn’t know what else to say or how else to beg her to stay. With every item she folded into the suitcase, it felt like another stab to his chest.“Why are you doing this, Emily? I love you… please, don’t go,” George pleaded, tears streaming down his cheeks.But no amount of begging could change Emily’s heart.“George, this is only temporary. I need to leave before I lose myself in this marriage,” Emily said, her voice raised as she finally turned to face him.“Baby… we can work this out, we still—”“My mind is made up, George.

The tires crunched over the frozen dirt, the sound muffled by thick snow. At the end of the path stood a large vacation home weathered but intact nestled deep in the forest, cloaked in silence.She killed the engine, stepped out, and let the quiet wrap around her like a second skin. The wind stung her cheeks, turned her skin pink, her hair whipping around her face.But still she smiled.It wasn’t just the cold biting into her skin. It was the clarity of isolation
