His Assistant Ruined Our Marriage (Her Marriage in Crisis #102)

She only wanted her husband to love her.

Instead, he neglected her.

On her anniversary, she hears her husband’s name through the door.

“Timothy - I need you to know how I feel about you.”

His assistant’s hands are all over him.

Timothy played the perfect husband. The penthouse. The society photos. The flowers that arrived every time he let her down.

And he let her down a lot. Her art show. Her birthday. Five years of empty chairs and cold dinners, until she stopped waiting up at all.

So when she sees him with his assistant, that is the final straw for their marriage.

So Victoria doesn’t cry. She doesn’t ask for the truth. She gives her toast to a room full of guests, smiles for every camera, and leaves her wedding ring on his desk.

No note. She’s done waiting.

Then the husband who was never home starts to fight for her.

Flowers at her family’s table. On his knees in the rain, fixing the railing her father never did. Begging in front of everyone, breaking a little more each time - right where she can see.

And when her family traps them together - one hotel room, one bed - the man she’s trying to leave is the only one she still wants.

She tells herself it’s too late. That the silence can’t be undone by one grand gesture.

But her cousin isn’t finished. The doubt she planted is still out there - and it will surface when it can do the most damage.

Timothy wants his wife back.

But the woman who taught herself to expect nothing won’t be won with flowers. This is a second chance he has to earn - and this time, she’s choosing herself first.
