It was the first time I'd ever gone to my husband, Michael Stone's office to ask for leave on his behalf after he got sick. The receptionist was visibly taken aback. She said, "Are you joking? The person you're talking about is our boss. "Plus, our boss and his wife always arrive and leave together every day. "And you definitely aren't his wife..." The next moment, Michael, who was supposed to be sick in bed, walked out of the elevator, arm-in-arm with his first love, Olivia Lane. Our eyes met, and his smile froze on his face. I looked at him, dressed head to toe in luxury brands, and laughed until tears streamed down my face. I cried, "Your suit alone is worth my entire annual salary, but you acted like you were just some low-paid employee making a few thousand a month. "You used the money from my parents to start your company, then claimed you were bankrupt and deep in debt. I worked nonstop to help you pay it all off. Even when I was sick with a fever, I didn't dare take a break. "Tell me, why did you have to make a fool out of me like this?" Michael mumbled, struggling to find the right words. Olivia jumped in before he could say anything. "It's really not that surprising. Back when I got married, he promised he'd wait for me. He always said his company and his whole career were all mine. "That's why he doesn't have a dime left for you." I finally realized that Michael hadn't just kept his real life from me. He'd also made a lifelong promise to another woman to stay by her side and cherish her forever. But I was the one who was legally married to Michael! Could he really leave me penniless?
