My Husband’s Secret Texts from His Assistant (Her Marriage in Crisis #104)

She’s just marked 10 years of marriage-

when her husband’s phone lights up on her kitchen counter.

She sees a year of texts between her husband and another woman-

his assistant.

None of them are romantic. Somehow that’s worse.

"She needs a hobby that isn’t me. I’’m just not happy with her."

Ivy scrolls on. Her husband, Kurt, let his assistant pick the gifts that once made her feel chosen. He called her dramatic the night she sat alone in the ER. He told his assistant about his father’s illness before he ever told his own wife.

Ivy doesn’t confront him.

She documents him.

She leaves her wedding rings on the counter and walks out - carrying one secret she’ll never share.

She’s pregnant.

Two years later, Ivy has a small-town bakery, a baby girl with Kurt’s eyes, and a life she built all by herself. Divorce papers sit in her drawer, ready to sign.

Then Kurt finds her. And he meets the daughter he never knew he had.

He could send lawyers and write checks. Instead, he shows up - every week - learning her recipes, wearing her flour, holding their baby through her first fever. Slowly, the husband she swore she’d never forgive becomes the man she wishes she’d married.

But sorry isn’t the same as trust. And Ivy has already learned to live without him.

Kurt wants his family back.

Ivy is choosing herself.

Whether he ever earns a place in her life is hers alone to decide.
