I gave him twenty years and he still chose her over me

by Logan Lewis

For twenty years, she's been the perfect wife—cooking his favorite meals, hosting dinner parties, and turning a blind eye to the lipstick stains and late-night excuses. On their anniversary, as the clock strikes midnight, she sits in the darkness of their pristine suburban home, waiting for Derek to come home one last time. When he finally walks through that door, he'll discover that the woman who gave him everything has finally reached her breaking point. Some wives forgive, some wives leave, but she's chosen a different path entirely. Because after two decades of sacrifice, she's learned that being perfect doesn't mean being a doormat—and tonight, twenty years of silence ends.
