When I Left, He Fought to Win Me Back

In my first year at work, I had rushed into marrying my boss, caught up in a whirlwind I never fully understood. For the past four years, I have dedicated myself to catering to his every need.

But recently, something had shifted. He started calling me wife and, shockingly, kissed me first.

With the company's IPO on the horizon, I wondered if he was finally ready to make our relationship public, to share with the world what we had built in the shadows.

But as with all fleeting moments of happiness, it was as fragile as fireworks.
