Chapter 1

The photos were crystal clear, taken from a deliberately chosen angle that made them look almost like surveillance footage.I had always joked that my wife would be eighteen forever, a beauty untouched by time.Still, I would never have imagined that a little running joke would land me in a mess like this.Within seconds, dozens of messages flooded the group chat.[Mr. Lane, who's that?][She looks so young!][A hotel late at night? That's not a good look.]I stared at the photos for a few seconds before typing my reply: [That's my wife.]The group chat fell silent for three whole seconds. Then someone sent a question mark. What followed was a flood of laughter.Selene chimed in, her words dripping with sarcasm. [Now, that's a good one, Mr. Lane. Your wife looks even younger than my little sister. Is she a college freshman or a sophomore?]I did not bother responding. I closed the group chat and checked the timestamp on the photos.Last Wednesday, Kayla and I had been out

It was Saturday morning when the vibration of my phone jolted me awake.A message from Laura in HR awaited me on the screen.[Steven, the company has received a joint complaint signed by several employees, alleging misconduct on your part. You are required to report to HR at 2:00 p.m. on Monday to explain the situation.]I typed a reply.[What complaint?]Her response came almost immediately.[An alleged inappropriate relationship between you and a young woman. There are photographs and witnesses.]I drew a deep breath.[She's my wife. We've been married for three years.][Please provide supporting documentation on Monday. The company will conduct a thorough review.]Her tone was strictly professional, but the dismissiveness beneath it was obvious.I took a screenshot of the conversation and sent it to Kayla.[They're saying you're the college girl I'm keeping on the side.]Her reply came instantly.[Who said that?][Issac and a bunch of people who just want to watch the

Laura nodded and began sorting through the documents on her desk.Issac sat back in his chair with his legs crossed, looking like a man who already knew how the meeting would end."I'm curious to see what kind of 'college girl' is going to show up and play along with this little charade."Selene let out a quiet giggle."Maybe she'll show up wearing a ton of makeup. That would make the whole thing even less believable."I did not respond. I simply glanced at my phone.Three minutes passed.Then five.Laura was starting to lose patience."Steven, is your wife actually coming?""She said 10 minutes. There are 2 minutes left."Suddenly, Issac pulled a sheet of paper from his folder and slid it across the desk."Since you insist she's your wife, we might as well wait for her and verify it in person. Still, until the investigation is over, I suggest you sign this interim agreement first."I lowered my gaze to the document.The first clause read:[Steven Lane voluntarily reques

Kayla ignored her completely. Her gaze swept across the room before settling on Issac.She stepped forward. Her voice was soft but unmistakably clear."Would you mind repeating what you just said?"Issac froze for a moment before trying to bluff his way through."What did I say?""You said I was the college girl Steven was keeping on the side."Kayla stood in front of the desk, her expression perfectly composed."Isn't that right?"Without waiting for an answer, she turned to me."Did they try to force you to sign anything?""Yes."I picked up the document and handed it to her.She scanned it once, and her expression turned cold."Voluntarily suspending your promotion? Voluntarily relinquishing your position as project lead?"She lifted her gaze to Laura."Is this part of your process for verifying the facts?"Laura opened her mouth, then hesitated."It's only a temporary arrangement. Your husband's position can be reinstated once the investigation is complete.""Then

Everyone in the room froze.Issac went deathly pale."M-Ms. Stone?"Selene stood there with her mouth hanging open, unable to say a word.The papers slipped from Laura's hands and scattered across the floor.Kayla glanced at me before turning back to Issac."Who was it that just called me the college girl Steven was keeping on the side?"Issac shoved his chair back and tried to stand, but his legs nearly gave out beneath him.His voice trembled."I-I didn't know you were Ms. Kayla Stone."The chairman frowned."What's going on here?"He turned to me."Steven, who is this?"I answered calmly."My wife, Kayla Stone. We've been married for three years."The chairman stared at me in disbelief."Your wife is Kayla Stone, the head of Starlight Shield Technologies?""Yes."The conference room fell so silent that I could hear everyone's breathing.Cold sweat beaded on Issac's forehead, and his lips turned white.Selene slumped back in her chair, her face ashen.Laura kept

The chairman took a deep breath."Issac, you're fired. Selene, you're receiving a formal warning and being transferred out of the product department. Laura, you're being demoted and transferred out of HR. Now get out. All of you. Immediately."Issac struggled to his feet. His knees were so weak that he had to brace himself against the table. He staggered toward the door.Selene followed with her head lowered.Laura bent down to gather the papers scattered across the floor. Her hands shook uncontrollably.Once the door closed behind them, only Kayla, the chairman, Mr. Lewis from the legal department, and I remained in the conference room.The chairman turned to me."Steven, I'm sorry. This was a serious failure on the company's part. On behalf of the company, I'd like to apologize to both you and Ms. Stone."I placed our marriage certificate back into the document bag."You can apologize later. First, please make sure the investigation records are preserved in full."I turned

The chairman smiled."Ms. Stone specifically requested you as the project liaison. The tech department will give you its full support. This project means a great deal to the company. I have every confidence in you."Mr. Zimmer smiled as well."Mr. Lane, I look forward to working with you.""Likewise."After the meeting, I sent Kayla a message.[Thanks for the project.]Her reply came almost instantly.[What are you thanking me for? Your company has the right technical team for the job. Besides, you're the only liaison I trust.]I smiled and typed my reply.[What do you want for dinner?][Your home-cooked meal.][Deal.]I clocked out right on time at 5 p.m. that afternoon.As I passed Issac's old office, I noticed the door was locked and his desk had been completely cleared out.I heard he had been posting in job-seeking groups for the past few days, but no company seemed interested in hiring him.It was a small industry. One background check was all it took.Who would

She closed her eyes, her voice growing drowsy."Steven.""Yeah?""Don't let anyone push you around again. Promise me."I smiled."I won't. I've got my wife looking out for me, after all."She did not reply.Her breathing gradually settled into a steady rhythm.I turned off the TV, scooped her into my arms, and carried her to the bedroom.My phone buzzed again on the coffee table.It was a post from Issac.[What goes around comes around. No one escapes karma.]Someone had commented beneath it.[What happened, Issac?]He did not respond.I put my phone away and lay down beside my wife.Moonlight streamed through the window.Kayla rolled over in her sleep and draped an arm across me."Good night," I whispered.She mumbled something in response."Night."...At 8 o'clock on Monday morning, I arrived at the office right on time.A new sign had been mounted beside my door.[Product Department - Director's Office - Steven Lane.]I pushed the door open and found a bouq

"Come on. Let's get lunch."We stepped into the elevator and ran into a few colleagues.The moment they saw Kayla, they looked startled before greeting her a little nervously."Good afternoon, Ms. Stone."Kayla nodded."Hello, everyone."When the elevator reached the ground floor, we stepped out.A nice restaurant sat just outside the office building, so we headed over.After placing our orders, Kayla looked at me."Settling into your new position?""Not bad. There's just a lot more work.""You'll get used to it. There'll be even more to come.""I know."She smiled."Steven, you're a director now. You need to start acting like one.""What's that supposed to look like?""Calm, decisive, and responsible."I raised an eyebrow."So you're saying I wasn't calm before?""Back then, you were a product manager. Now you're a director. It's different.""Fine. I'll keep that in mind."She picked up a rib and placed it on my plate."Keep up the good work. I believe in you."

[Congratulations to the company!][Mr. Lane is killing it!][Ms. Stone looks so young!][That's Mr. Lane's wife, right? And people actually thought she was some college girl he was keeping on the side.][Don't even remind me. The guy who spread those rumors already got fired.]I closed the page, packed my things, and got ready to head home.My phone rang.It was Kayla."Are you off work yet?""Just about to leave.""Come pick me up. My parents are coming over for dinner tonight."I froze for a moment."Your parents? They're coming over?""Yeah. Mom says she wants to see for herself that you're doing okay.""Got it. I'll be right there."After hanging up, I headed for the elevator.As I passed the break room, I overheard a few coworkers talking."I heard Issac still hasn't found a job.""Serves him right. He framed a coworker, and now karma's caught up with him.""Mr. Lane's too nice. He didn't even press charges. If it were me, I'd have gone straight to the police."
