After five years of marriage, Claire Nolan finally reached her breaking point when her husband Ethan Sterling dodged her kiss yet again. She watched him recoil, his brows furrowing as he wiped his mouth with an expression of pure distaste. "Ethan, let's get a divorce," she said, her voice steady. Ethan's hand froze, his face the very picture of impatience. "All this drama because I won't kiss you? Claire, are you really that horny?" Claire's eyes grew misty in an instant. She bit her lip and said, "Yeah, that's exactly why." Ethan's eyes turned icy. "You're so unreasonable." He never bothered to comfort her. Instead, he turned and walked away, the chill of his aura lingering in the air long after he passed. Silence reclaimed the room, and Claire was left standing there, once again entirely on her own. She stood still for a moment and then walked numbly toward the guest room upstairs, the one with the best light. As expected, she found Ethan there. On the bed lay a woman in her thirties. It was Emily Sutton, Ethan's sister-in-law.
