Five Years a Fake Wife My Marriage Was a Lie

Five years into a marriage that had always had three people in it.

He still gave me one day a year, and spent all the rest with someone else.

I stared at his back for a long moment before I finally spoke.

"Can you break it off with her for a while, just look after our little family for once?"

Every big thing and every small thing in this house, the old woman falling ill, the hospital stays, I handled all of it alone.

He never once asked whether I was doing all right.

He poured every bit of himself into Diana Winfield instead.
