Story
The story
Three years into a merger-like marriage, Maya Vaughn's husband Sebastian Blackwood announces he is bored and intends to move them to an open arrangement, reminding her that a prenuptial agreement and the two million dollars he paid her family bind her to his terms. Penniless and watched, she has no leverage and no way to earn her freedom.
When a threatened miscarriage sends her to a clinic, she stands at the pharmacy counter fourteen dollars short. Sebastian refuses to help and hangs up, then spends fourteen million dollars on a necklace for another woman. Unable to pay for the medicine or the hospital bill, Maya turns to former friends, who mock her as a mercenary bride, and settles the fees with a stranger's tip.
She ends the pregnancy alone and unmedicated, then walks ten miles home through Chicago while fireworks bloom over the lakefront in another woman's honor.
Opening excerpt
Three years into our corporate merger of a marriage, my husband casually suggested we open it up.
"Maya, don’t you ever wonder what it’s like with someone else?"
I froze, then reached out to pinch his arm, thinking he was joking. "Are you losing it? Why would I want that? Is what we have not enough for you?"
These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
