My CEO wife, fearing I'll lack ambition after marriage, puts a price tag on every date.
Calling me "honey" costs ten grand, holding hands is thirty grand, and going public with our relationship comes with a hefty price of ten million.
To speed up our official announcement, I work overtime and schmooze like crazy. Meanwhile, my mom, worried sick about me, has a heart attack and urgently needs surgery. However, without a word, she transfers the few hundred grand I've saved up to her male assistant, claiming it's a year-end bonus.
I beg her to return the money, but she calls me a cheapskate who's not fit for high society, complaining that I've embarrassed her in front of the staff. Then she freezes all my accounts.
Later, when my mom passes away because of this, I decide to file for divorce. My wife sneers, thinking I'm playing hard to get:
"Fine, I won't charge you this time. We'll make it official when we go back for New Year's. You and your mom can finally have your moment of glory in the village!"
What she doesn't know is that from the day my mother died, I've been planning to study abroad and never speak to her again.

My CEO Wife Sets a Price For Our Dates

Elowen stared at the divorce papers in my hand, completely stunned.


"Gunner, you want to divorce me just because of this?"


"I admit I was a bit too emotional earlier..."


"But our seven years of love, you're just throwing it away? Have you even considered my feelings?"


Looking at her distorted face, I could only find it laughable.


Had she ever considered how I felt these past seven years, being her husband but unable to openly acknowledge our relationship?


Having to watch her mingle with others, even forced to smile along, all while my heart ached?


But now, there's no point in saying any of this to her.


"There's no need for us to keep arguing."


"The house, the company shares, if you want them, keep them all."


My tone was firm, without a hint of hesitation.


Elowen was taken aback, then gritted her teeth and said:


"Gunner, stop acting all high and mighty in front of me!"
