Chapter 1

After I got married, my wife and I always slept in separate rooms.

At first, I asked her if she could move into the master bedroom.

She refused me without hesitation.

"No need. Caleb would mind."

"If it weren't for you back then, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Let's just leave it this way."

Caleb was her first love.

I froze in place and, after a long while, finally said okay.

Later, I thought that this marriage was only there to help my family get through a cash flow crisis and, by the way, solve the thorny lawsuit her company was dealing with.

It was just a matter of each of us getting what we needed.

Once it was done, we would naturally go our separate ways.

After that, I never brought it up again.

For the next three years, she took him with her to every event she attended.

Family dinners, company parties, even my dad's birthday, he was the one standing beside her.

Everyone kept guessing who the real man of the house was.

Now it was finally clear.

Everything that needed to be solved had been solved.

It was time for me to leave.
