Chapter 1

My CEO wife, Vivian Hayes, believed her three months of the silent treatment had finally worked when she learned I’d willingly handed over a multi-million dollar project to her favorite young assistant.

She beamed with joy, eagerly suggesting an Iceland honeymoon.

But her assistant, Julian Chase, was furious when he found out, threatening to quit the company.

Vivian, who had always doted on him, panicked. After three days and nights of soothing him, she ditched our honeymoon again, citing a business trip, and gave her ticket to Julian instead.

Later, she casually explained to me,

"Personal feelings are secondary, Caleb. Work comes first. As a boss, I have to prioritize the company."

"You're my husband; you should understand, right?"

I glanced at Julian's latest SnapChat post on my phone—a cozy couple's photo of them, heads touching, flashing a heart sign. I said nothing, just nodded.

Vivian thought I’d become more understanding and generous, which pleased her immensely. She even promised me an even more romantic honeymoon when she got back.

But what she didn't know was,

I had already submitted my resignation, and she had already signed our divorce papers.

She and I, we had no future left.
