Into The Silent Land

He has made his name through hard work and determination, plowing through small companies in the hopes of sustaining the power that his position gives him. He hardly has time for anyone but himself, but when he needs the copies of a few important documents that were lost in the wind by his lawyer, he has no choice but to hunt down the daughter of the previous owner, who happens to be as disinterested in him as he is in almost everything else.

Soon after I came back to the country, someone slapped me right across the face in broad daylight, yelling that I was a mistress. A crowd of reporters closed in, pelting me with questions about whether Chandler Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong Industries, was keeping me as his mistress. I was stunned speechless for a moment, but then I pulled out my wedding photo with Chandler from seven years ago and held it up. "What are you talking about? I'm his wife!" The crowd went silent, and the woman who'd slapped me turned white as a sheet. Only then did I finally get it: while I'd been overseas, Chandler had been openly involved with an actress, and everyone in his social circle had already decided she was the future Mrs. Armstrong.

I handed him the divorce papers. "You make me sick."
