Saving Her, Breaking Us
Short stories The day I saw Jared Stanley's interview, I filed for divorce and moved out of the perfectly maintained home I'd shared with him for three years.
In that interview, Jared said his biggest regret in life was that, in a life-or-death situation, he instinctively protected what he called his most "precious national asset."
The "asset" he protected wasn't me, his wife. It was his "fragile" colleague, Bailee Brooks.
Two days later, at the global press conference for the G20 summit.
The same renowned war correspondent asked me the same question.
"Ms. Quinn, as a top-tier simultaneous interpreter, what would you say is the professional principle you are most proud of?"
I looked directly at Jared sitting in the front row.
"True professionalism is knowing that my husband risked his life to protect his mistress, and still being able to calmly, as the lead interpreter, accurately convey the commands that would ultimately save him." From Underworld to Crown

His mistress, Eva Marsh, sent me a provocative video.
In the video, Richard and Eva were passionately kissing, while his friends cheered loudly, "You two are perfect for each other. You should get married."
Richard's parents were holding Eva's hand, saying, "You're the only one we see as part of the family."

Short stories On our seventh anniversary, I inadvertently stumbled upon a hidden confession in Liam's public Facebook post.
It was his unrequited love for Destinee.
I realized then that the initials letters on our wedding rings were never meant to stand for Liam and Divya, but for his unwavering longing for Destinee.
He was eager to marry me on a holiday, not out of love, but because Destinee was also getting married to someone else that day.
"Divya, what is the fuss again?" Liam asked, standing at the door.
I turned to face him calmly and said, "Liam, let's break up."
He furrowed his brows slightly, trying to snatch the phone from my hand as he entered the room, only to find that I had already saved a screenshot.
"Why are you so upset about an old post?" Second Cut
Short stories In my past life, I gave up my chance to become a top surgeon to support my husband Kyson Mason's career. I willingly stood in his shadow as his devoted wife.
After he achieved fame and success, he draped his arm around a younger colleague and said to me, "You're no longer good enough for me."
Divorced and left with nothing, my skills rusted, and I succumbed to depression, dying alone.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Kyson first urged me to quit my job.
He held my hand, his eyes brimming with affection. "Once I become department head, I'll make sure you live a good life."
I smiled and gently pulled my hand away. "No need, Dr. Mason. Also, let's get divorced." My scalpel was itching to see the light of day again. Sir, I Won

Short stories I was there with my husband when we started from scratch, moving from a rundown shack to a massive mansion.
On the day the company went public, he showed up at the celebration with a young woman on his arm.
He introduced her to the crowd, "This is my love, Ms. Barrett."
Someone asked, "What about your wife?"
He just smiled. "That old ball and chain at home? She doesn't belong at an event like this."
I stood quietly at the back of the crowd, holding a glass of champagne.
Then the screen behind him lit up, starting a video about the company's history.
At the end of the video, a chart of the company's ownership structure appeared.

After that day, whenever Beatrixa visited him next door, his voice carried a teasing warmth. "I worked so hard helping you with your problems, Bae. How about a little reward for me?"
