Chapter21 A Strong Resolve

Riley’s face is cast a cloud of gloom. He stands frozen, and he can feel the weight of something crushing his chest like a ton of bricks, making it difficult to catch his breath. And his mind races with thoughts of what Amanda has just said.He stares at Amanda, replaying her recent actions. At the hospital, she ignored his calls twice. Her only message sent to his personal phone during this whole time is that she’ll never come back.“That’s all you have to say?”Amanda doesn’t understand what’s going on with Riley. At this point, what else is there to talk about?“I have nothing to say,” Amanda replies as calmly as possible.“I disagree,” Riley says.Amanda sighs. It’s obvious what’s happening here. Riley’s pride is hurt; he can’t stand that she’s the one asking for the divorce.“Let’s cut to the chase.” Amanda looks stra

Chapter22 Connection

Meanwhile, Amanda has already hashed down down her indignation. This is her first time seeing Riley alone since she moved out of his mansion.Amanda finds out that it’s not as hard as she imagined to let go of her love and affection for Riley. In fact, every day of their marriage has slowly chipped away at her love. Faye Aiken’s presence only helps her to part ways from Riley. Amanda thinks she is beyond stupid.

Chapter23 Perception

Outside Riley’s window, twilight fades from orange and pink to deep blue as white and yellow lights flicker on in the office buildings nearby. The stars glimmer like a diamond necklace against the black velvet sky.At this hour, Riley is still in office.Riley usually leaves the office immediately once he’s done with his tasks; he doesn’t waste time lingering in the office.But today, he doesn’t have many files to review and already finished his work, yet he’s still here.The sudden ring of his phone pulls Riley out of his thoughts. He looks up and realizes it’s already dark outside. Most of the other employees have already left.It’s Shawn calling, which is rare—Shawn almost never calls him.As soon as Riley answers, Shawn’s voice comes through. “Riley, Faye told me the gathering. Have you set a date yet?”Since meeting with Amanda earlier, Riley’s been distracte

Chapter24 Sadness

Riley returns home, only to find the house completely empty, again.A heavy feeling of suffocation presses down on him. He clutches at his chest, feeling his shirt twist under his fingers. Then he rushes from room to room, desperately searching for any sign that Amanda has come back.But Amanda, he knows, always tidies up meticulously, never leaving anything out of place. It’s a habit she keeps, probably to match his own preference for a spotless home. Now, though, that very habit backfires. He can’t even tell if Amanda’s been here or not, because the house looks exactly as she would leave it—flawless and untouched.Riley finally stops, his footsteps echoing in the stillness. He pulls out his phone, scrolling through his unread messages. When he finds nothing, he checks his work phone too. But there’s nothing there either. Not a single message from Amanda.No, he tells himself, that can’t be. He reassures h

Chapter25 Pick up

After sending the message to Shawn, Amanda gets back to editing the website. Having a photographic memory is both a blessing and a curse. Amanda has never forgotten the pain Riley caused her.But that day, in the stairwell, she faced Riley head-on and said everything she’d been holding back. It felt like cutting loose a weight she’d been dragging around for years. From that moment on, life feels lighter, clearer, like an open road stretching out ahead.Over the next few days, Amanda sticks to her routine. She goes to work, finishes her tasks, and smoothly handles the handover process.Friday night comes. It’s her farewell dinner with her coworkers. She’s also arranged to meet Shawn afterward to deliver the incense she promised.

Chapter26 Stay Overnight

But inside the car, the atmosphere isn’t what her coworkers might imagine. It’s not filled with laughter or easy conversation. Amanda gazes out the window, watching the rain streak across the glass. She basks in the first quiet moment of peace since leaving her job. Shawn, for his part, drives silently, making no effort to start a conversation.“Are you going tomorrow?” Shawn suddenly breaks the silence.“What?” Amanda startles, pulled from her wandering thoughts. Her mind had drifted far away, somewhere in the open fields of her imagination.“Riley should’ve texted you. We’ve got a gathering tomorrow—Riley, Rex, Faye, and me. Riley said he’d bring you along. Have you decided? Are you going?”Amanda remembers the text. Riley had sent it earlier that day, in his usual curt tone. He mentioned taking her to meet his friends, but gave no specifics&md

Chapter27 Jealous

On Friday evening, Riley takes his time getting ready. He has carefully chosen his outfit, aiming to make a good impression. Thanks to Heath, he knows the time and location of Amanda’s dinner with her colleagues. His plan is simple: wait until the dinner ends and pick her up. That way, they can return to the villa together and head to the gathering with Rex and the others the next day.He parks his car a short distance from the restaurant, close enough to keep an eye on the entrance but far enough not to draw attention. Riley leans back in his seat, hands resting lightly on the steering wheel. He expects Amanda to leave soon, and the thought of her coming home lifts his spirits.But then he notices something he never anticipated—a black Maybach pulling up a little farther down the street. Riley narrows his eyes. He knows that car.It’s Shawn’s.What is Shawn doing here? Riley watches closely. The car remai

Chapter28 Gathering

“You look like hell, man. What happened to you?” Rex asks, frowning.Today is supposed to be the day Riley finally introduces Amanda to his friends as his wife. But Riley shows up alone, his demeanor worse than Rex has ever seen.Riley had spent the entire night outside Amanda’s apartment. He only left in the morning, driving straight to the villa for a quick wash and a couple of hours of restless sleep before heading to meet his friends.His mood is abysmal. Even Shawn and Faye notice something is off, though Shawn, as usual, doesn’t pry. Faye, on the other hand, seems uneasy, shrinking back slightly at Riley’s dark aura. That leaves Rex to break the suffocating silence.“Come on. Don’t be like this. It’s been forever since Faye and Shawn came back. Cheer up, mate.”Riley glances up briefly, his tired eyes meeting Shawn’s and Faye’s, but he doesn’t sa

Chapter29 Guys-only Night

Faye stares at the bottle of Baileys on the table. It hasn’t been touched. The three men obviously aren’t fans of sweet liqueurs.But they don’t know that Faye isn’t either.She doesn’t drink often, but when she does, it’s usually a Gimlet. She loves the sharp sourness, the way it starts on her tongue, spreads across her palate, and hits her stomach like a punch. Sometimes, when she’s home alone, away from anyone’s gaze, she savors it slowly, letting that bite linger.All three of them know Amanda—Riley, Rex, and Amanda work at the same company, and Shawn’s sister Lily is Amanda’s close friend. On paper, they should know her better than Faye.But none of them seem to notice that Amanda likes Baileys. With milk, oolong tea, coconut water—Amanda is game for any pairing. Sometimes, she just pours it over ice.These men don’t know her half as well as

Chapter30 Fact

Riley’s gaze drifts across the living room, lingering on the leftover decorations Lily had put up. He doesn’t say a word.“So, Riley,” Shawn begins, leaning back against the counter. “Let’s talk about Amanda. Now that we all know she’s your wife, what’s going on? I need you to tell us the whole thing. If you don’t, we can’t help. Or, if you’d prefer not to talk to us, I can call Mrs. Hopkins, your therapist.”Riley stays silent. This is hard for him—they all know that. His childhood had left scars that made it almost impossible to open up, even more so when it came to personal shame.“Anyway,” Shawn continues, “Rex has told you countless times that he thinks you should get a divorce. I’ll be honest—I think so too.”Riley’s head snaps up, his displeasure obvious. His glare says he’s one word away from punch
