THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD TIME FOR (Marriage in Crisis, Grovel & Redemption #14)

Jill

My billionaire husband gave me everything except the one thing I needed: him.

For twelve years, I stood beside Robert while he built his empire. I planned the perfect dinners, remembered every birthday, and spent our anniversaries waiting for him to come home. Even in our bedroom, his touch became as distant and predictable as the rest of our marriage.

Then I overheard the words that ended everything.

Robert said he wished he had never married me when he did.

By morning, my wedding ring was on his pillow, and I was flying business class to Rome with the itinerary we had written before his empire consumed our lives. Italy. Japan. Costa Rica. The journey Robert had promised we would take someday had finally begun, and I was taking it alone.

Robert refuses to let twelve years end with one misunderstood sentence.

He follows me across the world on his private jet, reaching each hotel hours after I have gone.

His explanations become apologies, his apologies become confessions, and I begin leaving notes for the husband chasing the woman he forgot to cherish.

Robert has enough money to follow me anywhere.

Earning his way back into my heart will cost him far more.
