Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Priceless Honeymoon: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

On the second day of Nina Wynn and her favorite assistant, Zach Channing's "honeymoon", I wrapped up my handover work, went to HR, and completed the full resignation process.Barely ten minutes later, a push notification popped up: "Request Approved. Nina Wynn.""Looks like Ms. Wynn wanted him gone ages ago. Guess he finally figured it out.""Right? Staying here was only making Ms. Wynn upset. Better to leave early. And honestly, what's he worried about? He's the CEO's husband. Even if he quit and stayed home forever, he couldn't spend all her money."As I packed up my things, my coworkers watched me like I was the day's entertainment, their tones dripping with sour pleasure.I was used to it.Everyone knew Zach and I didn't get along, whereas my wife, Nina, openly favored him. She'd publicly embarrass me for his sake anytime she wanted. So they all rushed to target me, eager to win points with the beloved little assistant.Thinking about it, a cold laugh escaped me."Sorry to

Money never betrays you. Feelings do.With that thought in my head, I walked straight out of Wynn Group, already considering what came next after leaving.I had barely driven out of the parking garage when my phone buzzed twice.It was a payment alert.Nina had charged twenty thousand on my card. Again.Everyone assumed I married Nina for money, but the truth was she controlled all my cards. She insisted her own income had to be invested into the company, so for years every expense—rent, food, utilities, gifts, daily spending—came out of my salary and whatever extra I earned from my side work.I agreed since I believed a man should shoulder more for his family, so I never argued.Not until recently, when I realized something strange. I made good money, more than enough, yet somehow I had no savings. Not a cent was spared, and I was always short.I finally cracked and checked my statements. That was when I found out that Nina regularly used my card to buy gifts for Zach.A gami

Because I had listed the apartment at a very low price, it sold within a week.I signed the contract, set the handover date with the buyer, and returned home.The moment I opened the door, laughter echoed from inside.At the entryway, the couple’s fleece slippers were gone. In their place sat a pair of men’s leather shoes and a pair of high heels, the same ones Zach had bought Nina for her birthday.That was when I realized who was inside: Nina and Zach.Weren’t they supposed to return in two days?I was still processing that when Zach heard the noise and strolled over. He was wearing my slippers and my pajamas, ambling with a lazy, comfortable posture, like he owned the place."Darren, why do you come back home so early? Isn’t the workday still going on?" As he spoke, he flicked ash directly into a cup on the side table.I recognized it immediately. It was the couple’s mug Nina had given me. I used to treasure it, always holding it carefully in my hands.Nina appeared from th

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

"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
