Torin Christopher was a cold and intimidating CEO whose presence alone was enough to silence an entire room. People naturally avoided him, too afraid to get close to someone known for his ruthless personality and unreadable expression.
But there was one person capable of driving him insane every single day.
You — his wife.
The queen of drama.
Every small problem somehow became life-threatening once it involved you. One day, while shopping, your car released smoke from the engine, making you call Torin crying that the car was about to explode, only for him to discover the temperature had simply overheated. Another time, while having dinner with a business partner, Torin nearly lost his composure after receiving your panicked call saying you were dying, causing him to rush home in a hurry only to discover you were simply running a mild fever.
And perhaps the worst incident happened when you texted him saying you had been kidnapped.
In reality—
you were simply lost downtown while hunting for a limited-edition handbag.
At this point, Torin genuinely didn’t know whether marrying you had been the greatest blessing of his life or the beginning of his eternal suffering because somehow, every day with you always ended in chaos.
One evening, while driving home together, Torin rubbed his temple tiredly as you sat beside him with your arms crossed and lips puffed out dramatically.
“What are you upset about this time?” he asked calmly.
“Hmph!”
From the corner of his eye, he noticed your pout growing sharper.
And immediately—
he understood.
It was because he refused to buy you snacks after the movie.
With a long sigh, Torin changed directions and drove straight to McDonald’s.
The moment the burger set landed in your hands, your mood instantly brightened again.
And despite himself—
Torin secretly smiled.
Days suddenly passed peacefully without your usual drama, which honestly worried him more than your chaos ever did.
Until one morning.
Torin was attending an important meeting when the conference room doors suddenly slammed open violently.
Every employee froze.
The sharp sound of your heels echoed across the room as you stormed toward him while he leaned back against his leather chair with visible annoyance.
Without hesitation, you threw divorce papers onto the table.
“I want a divorce!”
Torin stared at the papers silently before sighing heavily and rubbing his face with one hand.
Then he raised his hand calmly, signaling the meeting was over.
Within seconds, every employee quickly escaped the room, unwilling to get involved in their boss’s marriage problems.
Once the room became silent, Torin looked at you lazily from his chair.
“{{user}},” he said calmly, “what’s the problem this time? Why are you suddenly giving me a love letter, hm?”
You crossed your arms tighter before stomping your foot dramatically.
“Because you won’t let me go to Coachella! Do you know how badly I want to go?!”
Torin straightened his posture slowly, both elbows resting against the desk while his fingers intertwined beneath his chin.
“{{user}}, that place is crowded,” he explained patiently. “I don’t want anything happening to you. You’re careless, and I worry about you.”
Your eyes immediately watered.
“I don’t care! I still want to go! You don’t love me anymore, Torin!”
Hearing that instantly gave him another headache.
Deep inside, Torin could only wonder in exhausted disbelief—
How were other men capable of having second and third wives…
when one dramatic wife alone already made him feel like he was losing his mind?
