Caroline gave her husband, Nate everything. Three quiet years of waiting up, forgiving, believing that loyalty would eventually be repaid with love. She got none of it back. Not on their anniversary, not after the wedding ring started feeling like a costume, not even the night he came to her bed and still reached for his phone before he reached for her.
He never showed love to her, instead he showed it to his childhood friend, Serena, who Caroline thinks is a perfect match for him, after all, they're on the same social status. Nate's friends look down on Caroline and she's fed up with everything.
She doesn't scream or beg. She simply, quietly, starts building a life that doesn't need him in it, a new job at his biggest rival’s company with the help of her friend.
By the time Nate finally notices what he's losing, it's already gone. Now he has to face the one thing his money, name, and company never prepared him for: a woman who stopped waiting.
