I spent seven years secretly loving Michael Carter. Then one drunken mistake put us in the same bed and pushed us into a marriage neither of us truly chose. The night before our wedding, Michael handed me a divorce agreement and calmly promised that once the gossip died down, we would end it. I told myself I could survive being his temporary wife. But living with Michael only made things harder. He was gentle, responsible, and careful with me in all the ways that mattered. The problem was that his heart still seemed tied to Sophie Lane, the ex he could never fully let go. So when I finally decide to leave first and give him back the future he once wanted, everything changes. The man who planned our divorce refuses to accept it. The husband who never asked for my love is suddenly the one with tears in his eyes. Was I only ever his responsibility, or did he realize too late that I had become the one he could not lose?
