After I Left, He Lost His Mind

Will a man learn to love me if I’m good to him long enough? I tried for seven years to warm his heart. I thought if I just held on a little longer, he’d finally see me. Because I loved him so deeply. But what did I get in return? His endless tenderness for another woman. I pretended I didn’t care, until pneumonia landed me in the hospital. On the day I was discharged, I found him standing there with our daughter, his whole world focused on caring for that woman. Even my daughter, whom I’d raised with everything I had, wished that woman was her mother. In that moment, my heart died completely. I left the divorce papers, gave up custody, and walked back into the chemical industry. So what if seven years of marriage had worn me down? I was still the top genius in my field. But the divorce I’d wanted so badly never went through. The man who once couldn’t have been colder to me now held on to me tighter than ever. Our daughter refused to leave my side. When he found my divorce papers, the always cold and arrogant man pushed me against the wall and growled: “Divorce? You’re mine. For life.”
