Chapter 5

He glared at me coldly as I packed my bags, his brow furrowed and his tone icy:

"I'm off work next week. I've planned a ski trip to Colorado with some friends. You're coming."

He wants to use me as a shield again. How could I possibly give him what he wants?

"You guys go ahead. I've got plans next week, so I'll pass."

He glanced at me, then sneered:

"You know I'm taking Sophia, so you're throwing a little tantrum, right?"

This narcissist, who on earth gave him the delusion that I'd be jealous of him and Sophia?

"Isn't it better if I don't go? You and Sophia can be more intimate freely."

I feigned innocence, pretending not to understand his situation.

He was caught off guard by my move, his face immediately darkening.

"You must go. Don't forget why I agreed to marry you—you're just a front in this marriage. If you don't cooperate, I'll divorce you."

Divorce!

Could there really be such good news?

I almost laughed out loud.
