Power, Lies, And Love

Synopsis

I'd been married for three years before I accidentally found out my wife was actually the CEO of my company. To give her a comfortable, secure life, I turned down the chance to study abroad. I passed on high-paying job offers in other cities. I even swallowed my pride and endured the company's repeated, unfair treatment—just so she could have stability. But the whole time, she was pretending to be poor. All part of some twisted "test." My promotions were denied. My salary and bonuses cut for failing performance reviews. Turned out, all of it was her way of testing me. Even my startup proposals and business plans—she shut them down behind the scenes. She never believed I could pull them off. When I discovered the truth, I quit. I filed for divorce. I was done playing along—I was finally going to chase my dream. That was when she panicked. She offered me a promotion, a raise, even wanted to invest in my startup. I tore up the check. She begged me through tears not to leave, but I didn't even look back. This time, I was doing it for myself.
