Caleb's biggest strength was his authority in his industry.
Being a sapiosexual combined with admiration for strength made me start to worship Caleb, especially seeing him give reports on TV or doing experiments in his lab...
Really handsome.
Plus, he was generous to me. Knowing I didn't like housework, he hired a maid directly.
Gradually, I really fell for him.
So when Caleb proposed to consummate the marriage, I agreed without hesitation. Even though it didn't feel great, I thought it was a good start. At least Caleb had desire for me.
Later, I got pregnant.
I said to Caleb: "Can you spend more time at home with me during this period?"
Caleb's eyes were still cold and distant: "The maid will take care of you at home, or you can go back to your parents' house. I'm really too busy to get away."
The child wasn't saved in the end. When I was four months pregnant, I was pushed down the escalator by a brat in the mall, and the child was gone on the spot.
My parents and Caleb's parents called Caleb several times, even went to the hospital to find him, but Caleb didn't appear in my hospital room until the next afternoon.
I cried and questioned him: "Why did you just come? Do you know our child is gone? The doctor said I might never have children again!"
Caleb stood by the bed, his expression unchanged. What was a huge event for me didn't even make him frown.
"It was my fault. I should have used protection. I won't let this happen again."
"As for the child, I never thought about having children. Now that it's gone, let's just say this child wasn't meant for us."
That was when I was most vulnerable.
I picked up the pillow and smashed it on him repeatedly: "Caleb, are you human? How can you say such things? Do I have no place in your heart? You don't care about my life or death, and you don't like me at all, do you?"
Caleb didn't move, letting me hit him with the pillow.
I was tired and told him to leave, and he really left.
I stayed in the hospital for half a month, and Caleb didn't visit me once.
My parents regretted it, saying they shouldn't have forced the marriage, and told me to divorce.
Half a month later, I returned home. Caleb transferred the house to my name.
He told me: "Chloe, this is all I can give you."
"If you want my heart, I can tell you clearly, I can't give it to you."
"If you want a divorce, you can. I will leave the marriage with nothing."
At that moment, I completely gave up on him.
But I didn't divorce him.
He had money and was generous. I just needed to guard the money.
What sapiosexual?
Sometimes it's money-sexual!
