He Signed Away His Marriage Without Looking

Arden Hollis thought she knew the rules of marriage—loyalty, sacrifice, forgiveness, and the quiet work of keeping a home together. Then she found black lace in her husband's suitcase, the kind of lace that doesn't belong to a wife, and something inside her finally went cold. Sullivan Kensington swears it's over. He swears he's done with his secretary, Blaire Sinclair. He swears he loves Arden. And Arden smiles, nods, and washes her hands like she's wiping away a mess she's tired of cleaning. Because this isn't the first betrayal. It's the third. She's already paid in blood—once in a hospital, once in silence—while Sullivan begged, promised, and even bled for her just to keep her from leaving. Now, on Arden's birthday, he's back with gifts, excuses, and the same ringtone lighting up his phone again and again. Arden doesn't scream. She doesn't fight. She doesn't even cry. She just hands him one paper to sign—while he's too busy lying to notice what he's signing away.
