Story
The story
James has endured years of humiliation as the Ashwood family's son-in-law. When his wife Ruby, who once hated carrying keys, replaces their smart lock with a deadbolt and starts locking the bathroom door, he must call her every time he comes home. At the next family dinner, he slides divorce papers across the table.
Ruby slaps him and pleads, blaming her postpartum depression. Her psychiatrist Dr. Collins and her relatives condemn James as an ungrateful leech who married into the family for money, while Ruby's father threatens to cast him out with nothing if he leaves. James walks away anyway, meeting his childhood friend Maya, who hands him a report and a video showing a figure slipping from his front door each day.
With his cards declined and the Ashwoods controlling every cent, James returns to pack, only for Ruby to pull up in a Porsche, offering him a new tie and asking him to come home.
Opening excerpt
My wife, who always hated carrying a key, had the smart lock on our front door replaced with an old-fashioned deadbolt. She even started locking the bathroom door when she showered.
Now, I have to call her every time I come home, just so she’ll let me in.
I couldn’t live with that kind of humiliation.
At the next family dinner, I slid a stack of divorce papers onto the table.
Everyone thought I was just drunk and joking.
Then my wife, Ruby, slapped me hard across the face, her eyes blazing.
These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
