For five years, Ben stayed hidden as Claire Harris's secret husband. On their anniversary, he showed up at her company party in his best suit, ready for the CEO wife he loved to finally announce their marriage. Instead, Claire stood onstage and tearfully called superstar Ryan Woods the most important person in her life. Then Ben's five-tier anniversary cake rolled into the spotlight, complete with the message: "Happy fifth anniversary, honey. Love, Ben." In one night, Ben went from invisible husband to viral joke, suspected stalker, and the most pitied man online. But when humiliation turns into freedom, he makes one clean choice: divorce, walk away, and start living for himself. As Claire's perfect world begins to crack, will Ben ever look back?
