Three Years In Arranged Marriage, He Grew Arrogant

In an arranged marriage built on mutual benefit, a wife has long been treated like a princess by her husband, Adam Lagerfelt. That changes at the company charity run, when his assistant, Olivia Thorne, twists her ankle and begs for a finisher's medal. Adam carries her on his back across the finish line, gasping but smiling, and the wife says nothing.

That night she has the driver take the car to a winding mountain road, throws a spare tire at him and orders him to carry it up and back down. When he collapses, she sends him to the emergency room. He deletes Olivia's contact, transfers her away and grows gentler, and she believes he has reformed.

Then a smoke alarm alert from her Southwood Manor reveals a party of dozens trampling her sofa, drinking her wine and grilling her ornamental fish, with Olivia wearing her unworn couture. Adam admits he lent the house out and asks her not to make things difficult for Olivia. The wife heads there with bodyguards, tears the dress off Olivia and presents a bill of fifteen million, three hundred twenty thousand dollars.
