Story

The story

When her card is declined at the supermarket and her husband Caleb refuses to send money for their baby's formula, calling her a parasite, Zoey realizes her marriage has become a battlefield. His salary has shrunk from $3,000 to $800, her savings and dowry are gone, and her mother-in-law offers nothing but contempt. With only $750 left, she turns to her best friend Sarah, a law firm intern, who warns her that custody of two-year-old Mia may not favor the mother for long.

Sarah introduces her to a lawyer named Lu, who sets her a single task: gather evidence. Photograph every card in Caleb's wallet, watch for a hidden phone, and stay calm no matter what she finds. But when Caleb finally comes home, his wallet holds only a gas card, a shopping card, cake coupons and a credit card. His phone is locked, his messages erased, his transfers clean.

Zoey has five years of marriage and over a thousand days behind her, and no proof in hand. The hunt has only just begun.

Opening excerpt

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but this card has been declined."

I was slightly stunned but quickly pulled out another card.

The red light on the terminal blinked again.

"Sorry, this card is also invalid."

"...What?"

I steadied my breath and dialed my husband's number.

"Honey, hasn't your paycheck come in yet? The baby's out of formula."
