Story

The story

For two years, Alex has cared for his bedridden father-in-law, Mr. Sterling, enduring insults and accusations while his wife Chloe works late. When Mr. Sterling destroys their marriage certificate yet again, Alex goes to the Registrar's Office for a replacement and learns that Chloe filed for divorce a month ago; the document she asked him to sign was the divorce agreement, and only seven days remain in the cooling-off period.

Returning to the hospital, Alex overhears Mr. Sterling walking and laughing with Leo Hayes, revealing that his paralysis was faked all along. Chloe, who claimed to be busy, is there massaging her father's shoulders. Alex realizes he is the last to know about his own divorce and that he has been used as a free caretaker.

Back home, Chloe admits Leo is moving in and that she hid the divorce to humor her father. Alex, who once believed he owed the family for Mr. Sterling's illness, packs his suitcase and calls someone, asking to be helped out as fast as possible.

Opening excerpt

I looked down at the certificate, torn in half, the pieces still sticky with the soup Mr. Sterling had just flung at me.

Every time he threw a tantrum, that damn marriage certificate was always the first casualty.

“What are you looking at?” Mr. Sterling snapped from his hospital bed, his voice shrill. “If it weren’t for you, you jinx, would I be stuck in this miserable bed?”
