Chapter 1

After leaving, I sat in the parking lot until 5:00 pm.It was then that I received a message."What's taking so long with the draft proposal? Is this how you work? The project's on hold for now. We'll talk again once you get your act together."After six years of marriage, Matt Miller had grown increasingly indifferent toward me.To secure Miller Group's beauty project, I had put in twice as much effort as everyone else.Yet the moment we started working together, he would cut the budget at my slightest missteps, even going as far as putting the project on hold. He said it was strictly business and that he couldn't lower his standards even though we were a married couple.That morning, his secretary, Faye Davis, had posted on Instagram.Matt, donning a white shirt and black trousers, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, was arranging bags of potato chips on the shelf.His handsome profile appeared softer in the light, a hint of a smile playing at his lips."Mr. Miller

Matt quickly left, changing his shoes and closing the door in one swift motion.My reflection appeared on the black screen of the TV.I remained silent as I threw the remaining chips into the trash.After midnight, Faye posted a new update on Instagram."Mr. Miller took me to karaoke. But does my singing really put people to sleep?"In the video, the lighting was dim. She was singing into the camera.Her voice through the microphone was deafening. Startled the moment I clicked into the video, I quickly muted my phone.Then she flipped the camera, showing Matt asleep on the couch.At home, he wouldn't even let me move an inch of his pillow.Any little change would keep him awake.However, even with the loud karaoke on, he had dozed off right then. He was resting his head on his arm, one of his legs hanging from the couch.Not even Faye's singing could wake him up.I realized at that moment that he could tolerate noise, after all. He just couldn't stand my voice.I pitied my

"He used to be so cold that people felt nervous around him. Now he finally seems more human."Matt didn't respond, but he didn't deny it either.He asked the waiter for a glass of water and handed it to Faye."You're on your period. Have some water instead."Last Christmas, his mother had given me a hard time because I still hadn't gotten pregnant. At that time, I was also on my period while I was out in the snow doing laundry in the yard.I had to get a jab for the cramps after that. In my daze, I complained to him.He gave me a cold look and said, "It's your fault for not taking care of your own body."I clenched my fists under the table, the pain in my chest nearly drowning me.As the commotion died down, Faye suddenly came over.With a bright and innocent smile and sparkling eyes, she greeted, "Ms. Vance, I'm Mr. Miller's secretary. Here's to you."She poured me a glass of white wine while holding her glass of water.I shook my head."Sorry, I can't drink."Faye's smil

”I am calm. I just don't get it. You can't even stand the sound of my breathing. Yet you can sleep so peacefully no matter what Faye does. Do you even see me as your wife?"I tried to stay calm, but Matt suddenly met my eyes. There was a strange vibe of hatred in his tone."You're having trouble sleeping too, no? You slept so calmly on Eric's bed, but you can't sleep with me. You never loved me, Yelena. So why should I treat you as my wife?"My temples throbbed.After we broke up, my family had arranged for me to go on a blind date, and that man was Eric Bale.To keep our parents happy, we dated briefly for a month. We only broke up upon realizing we weren't a good match.Right after that, Matt pursued me again and insisted on marrying me regardless of what our families said.Not wanting him to misunderstand, I told him about Eric long ago."Matt, you said you didn't mind," I reminded him. "Besides, nothing ever happened between—" "I'm a man. Of course I mind," Matt interru

The night was gentle, yet brutally cold.As I fastened my seatbelt, I looked across the street. Matt's BMW was parked there.I had borrowed it when my car was sent for maintenance last month.Just that once.After that, he never drove that car again.When I asked him why, he simply brushed me off."I have no use for it right now."At that time, I often saw his driver driving him around in the company's car. I thought perhaps he was too tired to drive himself.Looking back, I reckoned he found it disgusting that I had driven his car.We dated for four years and married for six. We were together for ten whole years.Yet our love that was meant to last forever ended up in tatters.When dawn arrived, my assistant, Ariel Cameron, entered my office and was shocked to see me."Ms. Vance, did you sleep here last night?"Rubbing my aching temples, I let out a sigh.I had forgotten to bring along my sleeping pills. With no way to buy them in the middle of the night, I ended up stay

Third Person POVYelena's smile melted away all his worries.When Matt woke up, it was already 5:00 pm.He sat up with a jolt, startling Faye, who had been watching dramas on the side."Why didn't you wake me up?"Faye looked confused. "You were sleeping, Mr. Miller. Why would I wake you?""I still have two more meetings and…"Without finishing his sentence, Matt grabbed his coat and ran outside."Mr. Miller, wait up!""Take a cab on your own."Matt stepped on the gas, but the company car wasn't fast enough. It took him 20 minutes to reach his office.He stepped out of the car and took a few deep breaths, trying to appear calm.However, there was no one in the conference room.He had a bad feeling, so he called the head of the beauty department."Where are the representatives from Yeluminate Creative? Are they not here for the meeting?""Mr. Miller, you're back? I called you this morning. But Ms. Davis said you were asleep and shouldn't be disturbed, so I…""I'm asking,

"That's why I stop watching TV after 9:00 pm. I don't make calls. I don't eat. I had carpets laid all over the house. I even walk on tiptoes."Matt shook his head, his gaunt face filled with determination."No. I said I'll sleep in the guest bedroom. We're not getting a—"I stood up with a frown, cutting him off, "Why not? You can't sleep because of me. Everything I do seems to bug you. When I turn over, when I swallow, even when I'm just lying there breathing, you say I'm keeping you up."I thought it was just your severe insomnia that made you sensitive to noise. But now I know it's because you find me disgusting. And I also know you sleep just fine at Faye's place. So why can't I divorce you? I'll go far, far away from you."I'm letting you go so you can be with someone who lets you sleep better. What, are you worried about upsetting our parents? Then I'll tell them myself. Your parents never liked me anyway. They'll be happy to hear we're getting a divorce."I lowered my head

Chapter 8

When Matt proposed to me, I was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. I thought I had bet on the right man.Little did I expect that his proposal wasn't motivated by love.I had yet to find out the reason behind it.For the past six years, neither of us had been happy. There was no point in maintaining a marriage that only brought us pain.Another sleepless night went by.The next morning, I made an appointment with my doctor to get another prescription for sleeping pills.When I arrived at the office, Ariel told me that someone from the automotive company had arrived.I quickly headed over to the conference room, only to see a familiar face.Eric waved at me with a smile."Yeluminate Creative, huh? I know you've always wanted to get into content. When I saw your company name, I figured it might be you. So I came by to see for myself, and it really is you!"After the meeting, I brought him to my office.It had been a while since we last met, and we both felt that time had flown

"I get it now. It was all a misunderstanding. Yelena, we can't divorce."I didn't answer him directly.Instead, I asked, "So if I had asked you why you didn't use Yelenaissance, how would you have replied?"He stopped in his tracks, his face contorted.After a long while, he finally answered, "I would have asked you to bear me a child if you had wanted me to use that name. With a child, you wouldn't think of other men."I laughed soundlessly.I was reminded of what his roommates had said about him back in college.They said he was impartial, professional, and principled. But at the same time, he was stubborn, always wanting things to go his way.At that time, I thought he was indulgent with me. He didn't seem stubborn at all.Only after years of marriage did I realize it was true."Matt, I did want to have a child with you. But you'd pull away from me at the slightest touch. You found me disgusting. How could I even get pregnant like that? And how many of the doctor's require
