Betrayed Wife’s Late Regret
I planned the perfect anniversary to finally melt my cold husband’s heart.
He walked in with his runaway ex on his arm instead.
Cole Harrington married me for spite. I was the convenient assistant, the quiet proof he had moved on. When Vivienne returned, he told me to throw away the cake I baked because the scent made her sick. Then he moved her into our home.
I overheard the truth: I was never loved. Only useful.
I left the ring on the divorce papers and disappeared. I didn’t tell him about the baby the doctors first said wouldn’t survive.
I built a new life on the Maine coast. A bakery. Independence. Walls he couldn’t buy his way through.
He found me anyway.
Now he shows up every day at three, sleeves rolled, sweeping my floors, taking every cold word I give him.
He wants forgiveness.
I want him on his knees long enough to understand exactly what he destroyed.
Some debts are paid in silence.
Others demand blood.
