Chapter 1

I finally answered my phone when Mackenzie Lister, my wife, called for the 13th time. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Thomas Quinlan? It's an extremely crucial moment for the company right now, especially since it's going public soon. You're going to ruin everything! "Isn't it just a photo? Why are you making such a big deal out of it? You're making a complete laughingstock out of us! I must have been blind to marry someone as immature as you!"Mackenzie immediately started tearing into me the second I picked up.I had been arguing with Mackenzie countless times over her assistant, Colin Sumner, lately. I was completely exhausted by this point, so I just said calmly, "If you actually knew how to draw the line and kept your distance from him, we wouldn't be making a scene like this to begin with. "You're actually blaming me now? Who's the one being unreasonable here, Mackenzie?"Mackenzie's company relied entirely on my connections and funding to get off the ground fr

The following day, I was woken up by an urgent call. "There's been a major issue, Mr. Quinlan! Ms. Lister inexplicably transferred all of her shares to Colin, so the board members are extremely upset about it!"I froze for a moment before instinctively tapping open the work group chat, where it had already erupted into chaos."Is this for real? Is Ms. Lister really in a relationship with Colin?""Do you even have to ask? It's not like you guys don't know about Ms. Lister's special situation. Have you ever seen her get this physically close with anyone before? She literally gave Colin her shares! If that ain't love, I don't know what is!""Where does that leave Mr. Quinlan, then? I could've sworn they were actually a thing!""Mr. Quinlan has always been a hopeless simp for Ms. Lister!"I couldn't help but laugh in sheer disbelief when I read that message. Mackenzie had given me several conditions before joining the company, with one of them being that our status as a married cou

Mackenzie stormed over to me in a rage, instantly flying off the handle. "Thomas Quinlan! What right did you have to revoke my shares without consulting me?"I responded without urgency once she finished her outburst. "You're merely a figurehead for this company. You seem to have forgotten your actual role and status, so I felt obligated to bring it to your attention."Mackenzie glared at me, gritting her teeth. "It's my company! You're the one who needs to get out of here, Thomas!"Just as Mackenzie said that, all the shareholders inside the room erupted into laughter.I laughed so hard that I could barely stand upright. "Your company? What part of the company's operations have you ever managed? You haven't touched a single thing here, from the team to the actual deals. "Your sole purpose was giving a short speech at the company's annual gala. You really got lost in that dream of being the CEO, didn't you?"Mackenzie's face fell instantly. "How could you say that to me? Have y

Mackenzie had finally backed off, but Colin came knocking at my place early that morning. He used the same old trick and got on his knees right outside my front door. "You can't just let them fire me, Thomas! You know how tough it is for me to land a good job without a proper degree or skills! "I saw that you were slammed with work and couldn't take care of Mackenzie, so I just wanted to help you out. I did it for your marriage, Thomas! I swear nothing went down between us!"I sat on the couch and slowly took a sip of coffee. "I'll believe nothing happened between you two if you go ram yourself dead right here in front of me." Colin's expression shifted slightly. He hesitated for a moment before he abruptly rose to his feet, as if he had made up his mind. He rushed toward the stone pillar at the entryway, yet with only a few inches to spare, he chickened out.He sank to the floor as his knees buckled, crying uncontrollably. "Do you really have to destroy me completely, Thomas?

I stared at them calmly and said, "You two can carry on. Scarlett and I were just passing through. Do you want me to book a room for you? If you're staying out tonight, I'll tell the housekeeper not to prepare your share of dinner."Mackenzie's face instantly drained of color. "It's not what it looks like, Thomas! I just happened to run into him working here today. I felt bad for him, so I stayed to talk to him for a bit. I mean, we were standing a bit too close, but I swear nothing actually happened!"She shot Colin a quick look after saying that, silently signaling him with her eyes.Colin nodded hurriedly, saying. "Exactly, Thomas! Mackenzie and I are just friends, so please don't overthink it! She had something in her eye, and I was only helping her blow it out!"Scarlett chuckled. "Did you forget there are surveillance cameras in here? Why don't we pull the footage to see how it actually went down?"Mackenzie instantly lost her nerve. However, she quickly snapped out of it,

Mackenzie went off the grid for over two weeks just to show me the gravity of my mistake. She had at least kept her social media updated before, so I always knew what she was doing. But this time, even her best friends didn't know her whereabouts.I knew she was giving me the cold shoulder to get me to back down and apologize, but without her around, the only things I felt were a long-lost freedom and peace.Just when I thought this quiet streak would keep going, I walked through the door after work one day and found Mackenzie sprawled out on the couch. She barely cast a glance my way, then pointed to the fruit sitting on the table. "Go wash an apple for me," she ordered.I smiled faintly and said, "Have you lost your mind? We've got nothing to say to each other unless it's about the divorce."Mackenzie clearly hadn't expected my attitude to remain so unyielding after all this time. She bolted upright from the couch, her expression instantly hardening. "Haven't you had enough

That evening, Mackenzie arrived at my place in an almost frantic state. Scarlett was picking out stuff for the wedding when Mackenzie frantically pushed her away and charged up to confront me. "How can you do this to me, Thomas? We haven't even gotten divorced!"Scarlett offered a faint, mocking smile. "You two aren't exactly a married couple anymore. You're already in the middle of a divorce. You should just sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. If the matter goes to court and evidence of your affair is presented, you may lose your claim to everything.""Shut up! You're the bitch who ruined everything for me!" Mackenzie pinned the blame for our ruined marriage completely onto Scarlett. She let out a hysterical shriek as she charged straight at Scarlett.I reacted immediately and kicked her away. "Who allowed you to lay a hand on my wife?"Mackenzie crashed hard against the wall behind her and collapsed onto the floor. She looked up at me in disbelief and said, "You a

Mackenzie was dead set against divorcing me, so she actually dragged her parents all the way over from her hometown, which was thousands of miles away.I saw the three of them sitting imposingly on the couch the moment I stepped through the door, clearly waiting to chew me out.Mackenzie's father immediately started blaming me. "I believed you were an honest person, which was why I allowed my daughter to marry you, Thomas. I never expected that just a few years later, you would cheat on her. I clearly misjudged you."Mackenzie just sat there putting on a show with her tears, refusing to pay any attention to me.They were hoping to catch me feeling guilty, but I calmly took out my phone and said, "You're trespassing on private property. I can report this to the police at any time."Their expressions instantly hardened, clearly not expecting me to treat them so coldly.Mackenzie's mother broke her silence, visibly agitated. "H-How can you say that? We're in Mackenzie's house! How c

Mackenzie eventually signed the divorce agreement. She knew that Scarlett was right about the whole thing—any further delay meant taking this to court. She would be stripped of every single dime the moment I brought out the evidence of her cheating. She had to safeguard her own interest, so she had no choice but to sign it, regardless of how unwilling she was.She looked at me with tears in her eyes on the day we finalized the divorce. "Do you really not want me anymore, Thomas?"I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her. "You should drop the act now, Mackenzie. Scarlett is literally sitting in the car right there, waiting for me, so please stop deluding yourself." Leaving her to stare at me with that hurt expression, I hopped into the car and took off, completely disappearing from her sight.…Mackenzie showed up uninvited on the day Scarlett and I got married. She nervously passed me the wedding gift while seated among the guests. She then said, "I'm all on my own now. If y
