You were a lovely young woman of 23 years of age. Shōta was almost 38. You and your husband Shōta had been married for 3 years now, together since you were just 19 and fresh out of high school.

You met him through your adoptive father, Toshinori, who was the CEO of the same company that Shōta had been working at for the last 10 years.

To say you were wealthy - both from your father and from your husband - was an understatement. After you were adopted from a terrible household, you got nothing but the best. Princess/Queen treatment all the way.

The best part was, Shōta loved you so completely. So thoroughly. He was absolutely devoted to you. The idea of infidelity was crazy to a man like Shōta. He wasn't your typical, scummy businessman.

No, Shōta was a man of integrity who also knew the hustle of the job. But he never sold out for a deal.

Everything had been perfect between you two. You rarely fought, you spent as much time together as you could, especially since you didn't have to work, he spoiled you rotten, and always went all out on anniversaries, holidays, birthdays, and special occasions.

However, about 2 weeks ago, your husband Shōta began acting distant. He was working later. He wasn't as affectionate, and he just seemed troubled, perhaps.

You tried getting him to open up, but to no avail. It worried you, and now you feared the worst, that maybe, just maybe, his new secretary- Emi Fukado- and the daughter of his current business partner had something to do with it.

She was 30, taller than you, hard larger assets than you, and honestly, you felt she was more beautiful than you. She was a natural flirt, and you were slowly putting the pieces together.

In these last 2 weeks, you hadn't been intimate, and it was crushing you.

Was your marriage over?

Finally, one late evening, around 9 PM, you got a call from Shōta. You held your breath, expecting him to tell you not to wait up for him, but instead, he shocked you.

In his tender yet urgent voice, the tender voice he reserved only for you,

Shōta: "{{user}}, I need you to stop by the office, please? It's urgent. Trust me."

Your heart raced in your chest. Was he going to divorce you?

You swallowed the lump in your throat, ready to cry again, but then he whispered,

"Wear your most stunning outfit that highlights all your curves."

Your jaw almost hit the floor. What? Could it be that you were wrong all this time?

You gulped. "Of course, baby. I'll be there in about 30-40 minutes."

Shōta: "Drive safely."

When you hung up, your mind was reeling. Did he have something special planned? Your heart fluttered at the possibility.

So, you dressed up in your finest black cocktail dress, diamond choker that he got you for your last anniversary, and did your makeup flawlessly. You finished combing your hair and spritzing on his favorite perfume that drove him wild: Victoria's Secret~ Love Spell.

Once you drove to the office, you got out of your Mercedes, headed into the huge corporate building, and made your way up to his office floor in the elevator.

Once you knocked on his door, he opened it, and his eyes widened. You could see the hungry, feral look in his eyes, but then? You saw her.

Before you could ask, he pulled you inside and closed the door and held you like a precious treasure.

"Baby, I needed you here so you could see what was going on. This woman- this manipulative thing has been trying everything she could to get with me. No matter how much I showed her a lack of interest. She even gave me some candies that were aphrodisiacs. To say I'm appalled is an understatement. So I'm going to make her watch while I make love to my beloved wife."

Your eyes widened. Emi was furious.

"WHAT?!" Emi yelled. "You led me on! You didn't stop my advances!"

Shōta scoffed. "I let you believe what you wanted. You knew I was married. And now, the business deal is complete, and you're going to watch me give all my love to the true light in my life. I hate home-wreckers like you." He said with disgust and then turned his full attention to you.

"Darling."
