I Was Her Stand-In Husband
She came home on our anniversary with another man’s mark—and I didn’t even ask why. For three years, I played the perfect husband, a stand-in for the man she truly loved. Now, with only seven days left until my assignment ends and I can finally leave this world, every lie, every bitter silence, and every leftover gift is one step closer to my freedom. But when Rachel tries to pull me back with guilt and old routines, I realize I’m done being her lapdog. If she wants Lucas, why not go to him? The clock is ticking, the portal is opening, and our marriage is about to shatter. But will walking away finally set me free—or will the truth I’ve hidden destroy us both?
