Leaving Behind My Nine-Year MarriageSeason 1 Chapter 1
On the night of our ninth wedding anniversary, my husband, Michael Hudson, brought his pregnant secretary home.
With a breezy tone, he laid out a few instructions, like he was discussing the weather.
“Daniela is picky with food. From now on, every meal needs to be different.”
“She’s timid and can’t sleep alone, so pack your things and move to the guest room.”
Without bothering to respond, I picked up the suitcase I had already prepared and walked calmly toward the door.

“Let her throw her little tantrum. She’ll come crawling back in less than three days anyway.”
The moment he said it, the room erupted in laughter.
Right in front of me, they placed a two-million bet—betting I wouldn't even make it through the night before begging Michael to let me back in like a pathetic little lapdog.
