" Kaiden can't you do anything right you worthless excuse of a man" his mother's in-laws shrill voice rang from downstairs. He sighed as he stood up from scrubbing the bathroom floors and walked down into the foyer to see what was wrong.

As he descended the staircase he saw his mother-in-law standing at the bottom of the stairs with her arms crossed a haughty and furious expression on her face while tapping her heels against the tiled floor. " Mom what's wrong?" he asked hesitantly.

She fumed "Don't you mom me you know very well what's wrong, why hasn't the kitchen been cleaned and the trash been taken out," she said. Kaiden opened up his mouth to say something but she raised her hand cutting him off.

" Look I don't want to hear it, just do your duty because Mr.Knight will be over here soon," she said before she turned around and walked away. Kaiden sighed as he walked into the kitchen and after rolling up his shirt sleeve and began doing the dishes.

As he scrubbed the dishes he began thinking of his life, he's been in an arranged marriage with Clara for three years at the request of his grandfather. His grandfather made his final wish on his death bed that wished his grandson to learn how to be a good husband before he took over the family.

At the beginning of the marriage, both he and Clara were both happy, but a year later she became cold and distant towards him. She would always be on her phone and would always accuse him of being a controlling husband if he tried to speak to her about it.

He knew it was her families doing. Her family was rich and they had objected to her marrying a poor useless man that had nothing but his pretty face instead of a rich and influential man but the head of the family shut down their protests saying that Kaiden would marry Clara no matter their objections.

At first, his wife's family treated him well, But after the old head of the family died and his gold digger wife took over as the head of the family the abuse started. They forced him to work along with the maids and butlers, they abused him both mentally and physically.

But despite that, he's kept his head down and trudged forward because of his blind love for Isabel. As their family fortune grew so did their disdain for him and they redoubled their efforts to chase him away.

Even going as far as encouraging Clara to have an affair with Xavier Knight. The Knight family was one of the richest families in the country with a net worth of over 30 billion and despite their bests efforts Clara refused to divorce Kaiden.

This infuriated her family but pleased Kaiden who thought despite his wife's apparent coldness of late towards him she still loved him and perhaps there was hope for their marriage after all. As he finished washing the dishes and was cleaning the kitchen he heard a commotion at the gate and saw the security guards letting in a green Porsche.

Kaiden scowled as he looked at Xavier's car as it drove up the driveway towards the Mason family mansion. He watched as Xavier stepped out of the car wearing a custom grey suit before he closed the door and then strode towards the mansion.

He could hear both his in-laws as well as his sister-in-law greeting Xavier at the front door. Since they had to pass the kitchen on their way towards the living room. They lead Xavier through the kitchen right past Kaiden.

He smirked at Kaiden as he strode through the kitchen his mother-in-law hooked her arms through his while explaining how pleased she was that he was there. She then noticed Kaiden watching and her mood soured. " What are you just standing around for go and wake up Xavier and inform her that Mr Knight was here," she said.

Giving Kaiden one last glare she leads Xavier out of the kitchen as he shoots Kaiden a shit-eating grin accompanied by a wink. Kaiden clenched his fists in anger before he took a deep breath.

Regaining his composure he packed up a quick lunch for his wife and a tray and then walked towards her room. Knocking on her room door he opened the door and saw that Clara was still asleep in bed.

She was an incredibly beautiful woman with long black hair, long lashes, and ruby red plump lips with a curvaceous figure. As she opened her eyes she saw her husband closing the door while holding a tray of food for her. " What are you doing here?" she asked.
