From Wife To Global Wonder の小説・ストーリー

Let her walk out feeling like she won something. Now that same sentence sat differently. Not like the final word of a woman who had lost. Like the quiet warning of a woman who already knew what was coming. And had chosen to tell me anyway. Something wasn't adding up. The woman I had been married to had been careful. Reserved. Always slightly apart from the world around her, like she was watching it from a distance she had chosen for herself. I had mistaken that distance for smallness. For a life that did not extend far beyond what I could see.

I zoomed in on the pictures the delivery guy sent me. Mixed in with all the scraps of paper were shredded clothes and torn pantyhose. I lit a cigarette and just stared at my phone, completely stunned. I didn't snap out of it until the ash burned my finger. I had been out of the country for a few weeks, and my wife was at home by herself. Maybe the delivery guy got the wrong apartment…? Feeling a knot in my chest, I opened our chat.

She says, smiling at them. “This is my wife. Now you can give her all your praises.” Edward said, sounding very pleased. “The party was so beautifully decorated, and I’m honoured ro have experienced being surrounded by such non living beauty, even if the abstract art seem to come to life sometimes.” “Oh really? The pleasure was and still is mine, Mrs Shaw, thank you very much.” Edward’s wife says with a large smile to Natalia and sends a cropped version of her original smile to Wendy. Natalia, noticing the tension quickly speaks up. “My husband is waiting for us. We have to go.” She smiles.

It was a feeling she couldn't explain, a feeling that whispered something was coming, something that would test their marriage in ways neither of them could imagine. She didn't know that somewhere else in New York, a woman named Sophia Reed was about to step into their lives. She didn't know that once Sophia did, her world, the one she had built with her own hands, her own heart, and her own sacrifices, would never be whole again.

LAKE For once in my life, I did something right, leaving Winston Global to be with my wife and what I valued the most. What I shared with Maverick was more than just a contract marriage anymore, or lust, or sex. It was special. I looked at my sleeping woman. Despite what my father put her through, she chose her peace, and I admired her for that. I grabbed my phone from my jeans. I was about to text Linden when I saw a message from Cooper.

"That's enough, leave her alone. After all, she's only like this because she lost her husband..." Those words instantly calmed William down. He gave me a complicated look before rushing out the door with Emily in his arms. Our family arrived at the hospital, with William anxiously waiting in the emergency room. Once, when I had a high fever, this appearance-conscious man did not even bother to put on his shoes when he carried me to the hospital. His feet were even bloodied. Now, I was abandoned in a corner, ignored by everyone. The doctor came out and happily shook William's hand, saying, "Congratulations, sir! Your wife is pregnant!"

When I opened my eyes, I saw her face light up with overwhelming joy at the news that her mission was complete. My self-hypnosis had worked. At that exact moment, my affection level reached its peak. My wish came true. I finally rid myself of a wife and son whose love was nothing but a hollow performance. No matter what I did, I could never actually reach them. I didn't understand what made her think she could come back. I pushed Cheryl away as she threw herself into my arms. I pointed at the cherry tree in the yard. "I never liked cherry blossoms. I only like cherries."

Adrian asked me while still focusing on the car's steering wheel. "Well, you shouldn't be, Adrian," I said to him, and with that, he turned and swiftly looked at me before returning his gaze to the car's steering wheel. "It's not as if I'm your wife, girlfriend or sister that you should be getting jealous about other men chatting me up or asking me out. In the same way, I can't also be jealous to learn that other women are chatting you up and asking you out in addition to Melissa," I said to him.

Someone he made sure was his stay at home wife and nanny for ten whole years. Anytime the thought crossed my mind, I realized that if I hadn’t overheard him that day, I would never have found out. He would never have told me until his Diane, wife, was ready to come home and settle. And judging by the type of woman she was, Diane would only return when she was finally retired. They were both willing to gamble on my life, and make me waste years tending to their needs, raising their child only to be discarded like trash whenever they were ready.
