Married to Escape Her Grasp

For five years, the hum of servers was the only soundtrack to my quiet exile in Havenwood.

I' d traded city lights for a beige cubicle in a tech support call center, a far cry from the life I once knew, after a spectacular fall from grace orchestrated by my ex-fiancée, Sophia Davis.

I found a strange peace, a quiet contentment, building a new life from the wreckage of the old.

Then, Sophia, flanked by her new fiancé, Mark, waltzed into my office, their expensive city clothes a stark violation of my humble world.
