And now that I've finally found you, you think I'm going to let you go over a misunderstanding? Over lies that were told specifically to drive us apart?”

Two months until we know where. Christmas with family. Everyone knows. Everyone uncomfortable. Evie happy. Oblivious. Asking questions. "Is dada leaving?" Yes. But I don't know how to tell her. Marcus and I barely speaking. Polite. Functional. Distant. We're already living apart. He's not even gone yet. Two months until match results. Then six months until he leaves. Then two years apart. Can marriage survive that? I don't know. Do I want it to? I don't know that either.

I clenched my jaw and kept moving. “I disappeared for only a few months!” she shouted, rushing after me. “Just a few months, Desmond! Yet you married my sister almost immediately!” My grip tightened around my phone. Every muscle in my body went rigid. “But it took you over three years to marry me!” she continued hysterically. “Three whole years!” I closed my eyes. Not this.

After twelve months, you can walk away free.” Abby froze. “Marry a stranger for money?”

I had honestly, foolishly believed that my quiet devotion and my flawless domestic management could eventually earn a sliver of his heart. I had even fantasized about sharing my secret pregnancy with him, hoping it might bridge the gap. Those photos reduced my eight-year marriage to an embarrassing joke. I walked down the long, carpeted corridor. Excited, hushed whispers echoed ahead of me. The news was spreading through the corporate club like wildfire.

Walking through a storm while my husband ran to another woman. A bitter laugh escaped me. God. What a joke.

With that, he turns and walks out of the room without hesitation, leaving me standing exactly where he left me, the silence swallowing me whole as I blink back the tears threatening to spill and focus on keeping myself upright. I sit in the back of the car on the ride home, watching the city pass by through the tinted window and trying to register that I am technically married now, that somewhere in a drawer inside that estate, there is a document with my name beside Stephano’s, proof that my life has shifted into something that no longer resembles what it did yesterday.
