Simpleton's Ultimatum, Love Me or Lose Me

Everyone claims that Scott Kennedy, the youthful successor to one of California's most prominent families, wed a simpleton.

Regrettably, I'm the alleged simpleton they can't cease discussing.

I never truly grasped the concept of "first love" until someone remarked, "Scott's first love is his soulmate. And you? You're merely the simpleton he was compelled to marry."

I couldn't contain myself. I crumbled, sobbing uncontrollably and collapsing to the ground like a child throwing a fit.

For truly, what other recourse did I have?

I am a simpleton—or at least that's all anyone appears to believe. Yet even after all that, he still brought her back.

"You're so innocent and good-natured," he said, almost beseeching as if requesting a favor. "Please, allow her to stay. Alright?"

Everyone labels me a simpleton, but even a simpleton like me comprehends one basic truth—my spouse is supposed to be mine alone.

If Scott begins falling for another, then... I no longer want him.
