Chapter 1

My husband showed up in a sports car to pick up our daughter, and her teacher was so impressed, she added him on social media.

She claimed it was for "better communication about the child's education."

Soon after, her profile picture changed to a heavily filtered selfie, and her posts turned into daily updates about being "so ready to find love."

I was blissfully unaware of all this drama—until one day, I walked in on my husband video-calling her while holding our daughter.

"Daddy, I want Miss Taylor to be my new mommy!" our daughter chirped.

"Sure, sure, Daddy will get a divorce right away," my husband replied with a grin.

Watching the three of them act like this happy little family, I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Seriously? Just because he's driving a fancy car, my husband—the guy who lives off me—thinks he's some billionaire now?

Time to remind him where he really belongs. He can crawl back to his broke job anytime.

For our 10th wedding anniversary, I bought my husband, Mason, a silver sports car to celebrate.

When he saw it, his eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning.

It wasn't just any sports car—it was one of only ten limited editions in the world. Not something you could buy with money alone.

Mason had gushed about this car more than once, so I figured I'd surprise him. After all, our anniversary was also his birthday.

During the test drive, Mason couldn't wait to snap pictures and show off to his friends. But in his excitement, he accidentally posted it in our daughter Angie's preschool group chat.

The quiet group chat immediately exploded.

"Oh my gosh, isn't this one of those global limited-edition cars? I can't believe the real deal is in our group!"

"Angie's dad, what kind of business are you in? You must be loaded!"

I quickly messaged Mason to delete the post, but it had already been up for over two minutes—too late to retract it. All we could do was watch as the messages poured in.

Some parents even started asking if Mason could invest in their business ideas.

And Mason? He was loving it.

"Oh, no, no," he replied humbly. "Just a small investment here and there. Made a bit of money, so I decided to treat myself."

Small investments? Sure. The only thing he "owned" was a failing internet café I paid for, which had been bleeding money since day one.

With his lack of business skills, Mason couldn't afford that sports car in ten lifetimes.

Still, he was my husband, and I wasn't about to embarrass him in front of everyone. So, I kept quiet.

That's when Angie's teacher, Miss Taylor, suddenly chimed in.

At first, I thought she was going to tell everyone to stop chatting about unrelated topics in a preschool group. But instead, she tagged Mason directly:

"@Angie's Dad, I've sent you a friend request. Please accept it—I need to discuss some things about Angie's behavior at school."

Her response came quickly: "Let's discuss this privately."

I started to worry. Had something happened to Angie at school? I messaged Miss Taylor privately, asking if everything was okay.

She didn't reply.

Instead, she updated her profile picture.
