An action taken by her husband, Ethan Gray, prompts Sophia to take a step and break free from her bondage. Her road to independence leads her to Alexander Dolan, an handsome billionaire who happens to be Ethan’s business rival and Sophia’s secondary school mate. What started as a partnership quickly escalates into a romantic attachment. But Ethan is possessive, he wouldn’t lose what is his to anyone, much less Alexander. The choice falls on Sophia. With Ethan having a bonding leverage on her, Sophia is torn between following her heart while leaving a broken home in her wake or saving a marriage that could ruin her future.

Chapter 1: A wife indeed

"This is a total disaster!” Sophia exclaimed, slamming her phone onto the kitchen counter after closing the YouTube app. Her frustration radiated through the quiet morning. Every tutorial she watched made pancakes seem effortless, but after three grueling hours, she had little to show for her efforts. The kitchen smelled of burnt batter, and her once-exquisite apron was streaked with flour and grease.She glared at the misshapen lump in the pan. Is this even a pancake?The thought of serving this mess to Ethan made her stomach twist. Not that her husband had high expectations—he’d long since stopped commenting on her cooking skills—but she still felt the sting of his disapproval every time he scowled at her meals.With a resigned sigh, Sophia abandoned the pan and reached for the bread. Toast and tea again. It wasn’t creative, and it certainly wasn’t impressive, but it was safe. Ethan would grumble, curse the day he laid off the cooks, take a few bites, and request his tea be poured i...

Chapter 2: Bargaining chip 
Watch out!” A voice shouted from behind as a fast-moving object whizzed past Sophia's her face. Instinctively, she ducked just in time, narrowly avoiding the projectile.“That was quick,” a voice chuckled from behind her. “I thought living large would have dulled a few of the skills you picked up around here.”Sophia rolled her eyes, recognizing the voice immediately. She turned to face her younger brother, not by blood but by street, Abdul, who was grinning like a mischievous child. He was no longer the small boy she remembered; he had grown taller, his once-thin frame now thick with muscle. But despite the changes, he was still the same Abdul—impossible to surprise or outmaneuver.“You rude, little, silly prick,” she muttered as she playfully launched herself at him. Abdul let out a burst of laughter, sprinting away from her. He tried to use a few feints to throw her off, but Sophia had known him since he was born. She had been the one to change his diapers, after all. From the mome

Chapter 3: Motives
Sophia's father's laughter boomed across the room, filling every corner with its deep, resonant sound. He was seated comfortably at the bed post, a green apple in his left hand and a knife in his right, dicing with practiced ease. "How on earth did you manage to put out the fire?" he asked, his amusement evident in his voice."It wasn’t me," Sophia replied, crossing her arms as she made herself more comfortable at the other end of the bed and leaning against the bed post. "One of the housemaids helped douse the flames. I begged her not to tell anyone, but the next day, it was the talk of the house. All the staff could talk about was how their boss’s new wife couldn’t even boil water without nearly burning the kitchen down."Her father burst into another fit of laughter, slapping his knee for emphasis. "That’s priceless! What did Ethan say?" His eyes, already glistening with tears from laughing too hard, were now fully watering.Sophia's irritation surfaced as the memory replayed in h

Chapter 4: Mismatched 
By the time Sophia got home, she was utterly drained and a little late. Not that it mattered much—Ethan had already mentioned he'd be working late tonight. She headed straight for her room, bypassing Carla, the only housemaid who stayed overnight. The other staff resumed their duties at eight in the morning and left by six in the evening. Since it was well past seven, Carla was the only one on hand for any urgent errands.Ignoring the plump woman’s polite greeting, Sophia climbed the grand staircase, her heels clicking against the polished hardwood floor. As soon as she reached her bedroom, she kicked off her shoes and began stripping off her work clothes and undergarments, discarding them onto the plush rug.The bedroom was enormous, as lavish as the rest of the house, but it was the adjoining bathroom that always took her breath away. Nearly half the size of the bedroom, it had gleaming marble floors, a glass-enclosed shower and many more features. However, tonight Sophia wasn’t int

Chapter 5: Bleaky hope
It was at moments like these that Sophia wished she could drive. The compound had a variety of sleek cars—luxury brands that gleamed under the morning sun—but Ethan had taken the driver, as usual. No time to start thinking about that, she grabbed her bag, rushed out of the house, and stopped the first cab she saw."Where to, ma'am?" the driver asked, glancing at her in the rearview mirror."DaeVille," she replied breathlessly. "As fast as you can go."The driver nodded and drove into traffic. Sophia leaned back in the seat, trying to calm the storm of anxiety swirling inside her. She rehearsed the apology she intended to deliver, her fingers tightly gripping the file in her lap.By the time they arrived at DaeVille Company, her nerves were having the best of her. The towering glass building loomed over her. She pushed a dollar note into the driver’s hand without waiting for change and bolted out of the car.The security guards greeted her with hopeful smiles, clearly expecting a tip.
