Secrets of the Neglected Wife – Sneak Peek
“I’ve filed for divorce.” Colton Stevens walked over impatiently, his frustration almost palpable. “Four million should set you up for life.”
Allison Clarke’s face froze for a moment. Her nails dug painfully into her palm as she fought to keep her composure. “It’s our third wedding anniversary today,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “Can’t we at least finish this meal together?”
The scent of cooking oil and smoke clung to her, and her hair was pulled back with a simple black clip. A few loose strands framed her face, giving her a neat but plain appearance.
Today was supposed to be different. She had spent hours preparing a table full of his favorite dishes to mark their anniversary.
Instead of receiving his gratitude, she was being told they were getting a divorce.
Colton scoffed, his eyes cold and distant. “Even if we finish this meal together, I’ll never love you. Besides, Melany’s back. She’s proud, and she won’t stand for this situation.” A flicker of softness crossed his face at the mention of Melany Johnson—a warmth that had never been reserved for Allison, no matter how hard she’d tried. She had bent over backward for him, cared for his parents, and sacrificed everything for years. But none of it had earned her more than a passing glance.
Melany was the one who held his heart—had always held it. She had walked out on him three years ago, breaking off their engagement and leaving for abroad.
Yet now, with a mere word from her, Colton had easily embraced her return and chosen to divorce Allison without a second thought.
Allison gripped the edge of the table as if trying to steady herself against a sudden gust of wind. “Does your grandpa know about this?”
Colton let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “Don’t think you can hide behind Grandpa. He’s in the hospital and can’t handle any stress. My parents are on board with the divorce. In fact, Melany met with them just today.” Allison’s heart sank, an icy chill creeping through her veins.
