The Wife He Paid to Leave

The man looks down at the woman's hand resting on the windowsill, a small callus visible on her finger.

His eyes went down to my hand. The little callus on my middle finger, from years of tweezers.

Declan

Cleve says you cut that part by hand. Four days.

Synopsis

I married Declan Pryce to save my watch shop. He married me to keep his family shares. I told myself the contract was enough. 'It was only a marriage on paper,' he says. Then his first love comes home, and he ends it with papers and a check. I take the papers. I leave the check. He sees my work in his own auction house. He hears Vivienne call me a copy of her. I don't beg. I don't break. Now he wants to know what was real. I need him to prove he can love the woman he paid to leave.
