Story
The story
For five years, Norma has been married to Pierce, a husband as cold as a tomb. When his mother Margaret urges her to keep hoping, Norma clings to the promise that his heart will one day open to her. Then a hidden camera in her own shower turns her private moment into a spectacle, and she learns the truth: Pierce has never touched her because of Mallory, the woman he has always loved, and he is now auctioning Norma off as a Mystery Box to the highest bidder.
As the five-year contract Margaret once offered nears its end, Norma asks to be released. Instead, Pierce lures her with drugged milk, and she wakes to find herself posed for photographs beside Mallory, her body sold as a product while hired men speak of a compliance serum for the winner. Even her bedroom becomes a backdrop for Pierce and Mallory's reunion.
Summoned to a Welcome Home dinner for Mallory, Norma sees at last that she is no wife to Pierce, only a scapegoat, a product, and a prop.
Opening excerpt
I had been married to Pierce for five years, and for five years, he had been as cold as a tomb.
When his mother pulled me aside that afternoon and pressed a small, discreet package into my hand—a "little help" to spark the fire, she’d whispered—I actually felt a flicker of hope. That night, when he was "sent" to my room by her decree, I was naive enough to believe our hollow marriage was finally turning a corner.
