When I Stopped Being Jealous, My Billionaire Ex Went Mad

After remarrying Vincent, Serena cures herself of jealousy. She no longer checks his phone or questions the girls he brings home; she simply smiles, plays the compliant wife, and lets the household assume she traded her pride for his fortune. Even seven months pregnant, she obeys when he sends her into a snowstorm to deliver clothes to Chloe at a hot spring resort, then stands and dresses the other woman while an ache spreads through her belly.

Vincent's cruelty escalates with her calm. He takes her emerald necklace for a starlet, demands she wash a mistress's feet, and watches coldly as Chloe humiliates her. When Serena shows no jealousy at all, his rage breaks through, and on the ride home he toys with her about the child she suffered so long to conceive.

Once, Vincent crossed the country through a fever to bring her sunflowers. Now her wedding ring will not come off, and his indifference has hardened into something she can no longer read.
