After I Learned I Was Going to Be His Ex-Wife Novel – My husband didn’t love me. But at least he was gorgeous and very good in bed. Every night, I had him indulge in elaborate roleplay with me. Until one day, comments began appearing before my eyes, like a translucent overlay: [God, I’m so sick of this ex-wife. The male lead comes home exhausted and still has to cater to her weird fetishes. No wonder he’d rather stay at the office than come home.] [She bought an entire closet full of “husband material” loungewear. He’s a billionaire CEO, he only wears custom suits. Who would ever wear something that tacky?] [All the ex-wife does is wait on him, spend his money, and cling to his side. How is she supposed to compete with a driven, independent female lead?] [Don’t worry. The male lead and the female lead have been working late together every day, slowly falling for each other.
When the ex-wife finds out, she’ll throw a tantrum, get kicked out, and walk away with nothing.] I jerked back, pushing Ethan Harrington away just before he kissed me. I hastily buttoned up my shirt. “Never mind, never mind!” *** Ethan paused. Seeing me clinging to my collar, his brow furrowed slightly. He looked like he was trying to figure out what new game I was playing. His elegant hand rested lightly on my calf, his palm burning hot. The heat seeped through my skin, and I couldn’t help but shiver. Ethan’s eyes darkened, as if he’d understood something. He adjusted his glasses with mock seriousness. His voice was deep and professional, “Miss, please cooperate while I examine you.” I was speechless. Today, he was playing a doctor, dressed in an alluring white lab coat. His long fingers toyed with a stethoscope. With that effortless composure, he looked dangerously attractive. I instinctively swallowed.
Normally, I would have jumped him by now. But remembering the comments, I reluctantly closed my eyes. “Actually, I’m done for tonight.” Ethan took off his glasses, confused. “Why?” I forced a laugh. “You worked so hard, you should get some rest.” His dark eyes studied me for a long moment. Then he suddenly stood up and headed for the bathroom. As the distance grew between us, my heart felt strangely hollow.
He didn’t even say a word. He really was already fed up with me. [Finally, the male lead leaves before his reputation gets ruined!] [Why is the ex-wife acting different today? Usually she’d be all over him by now.] [What kind of stunt is she pulling now? Wanting him, then not wanting him. So high maintenance.] [She’s such a villain. She used the fact that she saved his mother to force him into marriage. So shameless. If it weren’t for her, the leads would already be together.]
