Full Luck Mode
Ever since I married Seth Jerrell, he never lets me go without.
If I mention wanting to see snow, he charters a private jet and flies me to Montreve. If I say I want to keep horses, he buys an entire ranch for me.
For Seth, money has always been his way of showing love.
Until the day I see him at the docks.
He's shirtless, hauling heavy sacks from one cargo pile to another, dust covering his skin. He's crouched beside the stacks, eating a dry flatbread, when a young woman in an apron hurries over from the cafeteria and hands him a bowl of free soup.
"Seth, once I've saved enough money, I'll buy you some new clothes. You don't have to keep wearing torn ones."
He downs the soup in one go, then smiles.
"Then I'll work harder tomorrow and buy you a pair of new shoes," he says, his eyes sparkling with delight.
I stand in the shadow of a shipping container, barely keeping myself upright.
I can't believe that Seth, the man who effortlessly charms his way through countless business dinners and once bought me an entire office building, is willing to pretend he's struggling just to impress a cafeteria worker.
"When I get rich, I'll buy you whatever you want."
Those are the exact words he told me when he confessed his feelings to me on a rooftop years ago.
I don't confront him. I simply delete his number and block him on every social media platform.
