The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

She stood still, overwhelmed. As memories of the past few months with Caden flooded back, her anguish grew.

She tried to calm herself, dismissing it as something unimportant. So what if he had hidden agendas? She had hers too.

His closeness was only to avoid medication.

With a sarcastic smile, she took several deep breaths. She felt relieved that she had discovered the truth before her feelings grew too much.

Their arrangement was coming to an end, and parting ways after sorting everything out seemed manageable. However, breaking the routine of being constantly together could prove to be quite a challenge.
