Not Your Trophy Wife

Olivia has learned from the bullet comments that she is the heroine of a sweet romance and Asher Voss her destined male lead: proud, possessive, and hers to soften with patience. Yet their life together is a cycle of arguments, sulking, and apologies she must always make first, while the comments insist he is only a twisted man who needs her to reach out.

After ten days of overtime, hospital visits to her mother, and late-night errands, Olivia comes home past midnight to Asher's accusations and a flipped table. When he storms out, the comments urge her to chase him, but she is too exhausted to move. A furious neighbor bangs on the door, and she is left alone to clean the wreckage.

For the first time, Olivia wonders whether the fault is truly hers.
