CEO’s regret: Winning my wife back
All the emotions I’ve stuffed down for months— grief, humiliation, anger— come churning to the surface, clawing their way out.
Arthur doesn’t say a word. He just watches. He doesn’t touch me. Doesn’t try to comfort me.
I’m glad. Because if he had, I would have bitten him.
By the time the car hits the highway, I’ve cried myself out. My mascara is smeared, my face hot and blotchy. I swipe at my cheeks with the back of my hand, not caring how wrecked I look.
“Are you okay now?” Arthur’s voice is soft. He leans forward, grabs a bottle of water from the front, and hands it to me.
