Chapter 1

On our third wedding anniversary, Liam brought Serena home.

He had forgotten our anniversary again. He just gave me a displeased look.

"What are you staring at? Go get Serena her slippers, quickly."

He paused, then added, "She just got divorced and has nowhere to go. She'll stay with us for a few nights. Don't get the wrong idea."

Serena was the woman he loved but couldn't have in his youth. How could I not overthink it?

That night, I was jolted awake by a sharp female voice.

Liam wasn't beside me.

From the guest bedroom next door, I heard intimate moans.

What they were doing was obvious.

I pulled out my journal from the nightstand, flipping to the first page. It was already filled.

"Day one of marriage, he got drunk and called out Serena's name. Minus ten points."

"I had a high fever. He flew to Paris for Serena's dog's birthday. Minus ten points."

……

"Brought another woman home on our anniversary. Minus twenty points."

After writing that, I looked at the bottom line: "When I deduct one hundred points, I'll file for divorce."

Now, only twenty points were left.
