I don't tell him it's already been a week since I asked a lawyer to draft a breakup agreement. In fact, we're already broken up.

Anya Sawyer and I have been married for eight years. In that time, she brought 99 men back home. One day, I found myself looking at the 100th young man she had brought home ever since we got married. He shot me a taunting look before turning to Anya. "Ms. Sawyer, is this your useless husband?" Anya leaned into her seat and replied with a lazy yes. The young man patted my cheek with a grin. "Tonight, I'll show you what a proper man is capable of." … That evening, I was forced to sit in the living room and listen to their moans all night long. The next morning, Anya ordered me to prepare breakfast for her as usual. I refused. She seemed to have forgotten our marriage was by contract. That day just so happened to be the third-to-last day of our contract.

Seseorang bisa sekaya apa? Suamiku sangat kaya, orang-orang menjulukinya Bayang Kota, karena hampir separuh properti di Kota Bara adalah miliknya. Selama lima tahun menikah, setiap dia pergi menemani cinta pertamanya, dia akan memberikan sebuah rumah padaku. Setelah aku memiliki 99 rumah, suamiku menyadari bahwa aku berubah.
