He Should Be The One Dying

Synopsis

After Melvin Barnes went bankrupt, his childhood sweetheart bailed on him. I couldn't stand watching him fall apart, so I stayed. Through all those dark hopeless nights, I held his hand tight. We fought our way up together and became everyone's favorite "perfect couple." Later, he clawed his way up from the bottom and made it back to the top of the business world. He told me, "Carol, home is wherever you are." But now that "home" feels more like a prison we were both trapped in because his childhood sweetheart came back. He made her his personal secretary, hovering over her like she was something fragile and priceless. His tenderness toward her was something I never got, not even after all the years I spent suffering with him. For her, Melvin started trying every trick in the book to force me into a divorce. I heard his voice, cold, ruthless, saying, "If Carol keeps acting stubborn and refuses to sign the divorce papers, I might just get rid of her completely." I refused to accept it. Like a gambler who's already lost everything, I clung to this marriage that was barely alive. Eventually, one day, I got tired. While I was dying, I finally decided to let myself off.
