For months, Y/N tried to make her marriage feel real. Adrian Vale never stopped her from living her life. He didn’t ask where she went, who she met, or why she came home late. To him, she was simply a wife who happened to live under the same roof. So Y/N stopped trying. She stopped waiting for him at dinner. Stopped looking for him in crowded rooms. Stopped caring whether he noticed her. Then she left for a week with her friends. And suddenly, Adrian noticed everything. The empty seat beside him. The silence in the house. The fact that she was laughing somewhere without him. For the first time, the man who never cared where his wife went found himself wondering— Who was making her smile while he was gone? And worse… Why did he suddenly want her attention back?
