I Left My CEO Husband, and He Went Mad — Novel

About

In the glamorous world of California's elite, Nadia finds herself trapped in a marriage that feels more like a gilded cage than a partnership. With every passing day, her husband Scott showers affection on his stunning first love, Jessica, while Nadia is relegated to the sidelines, the so-called fool in a tale that everyone else seems to know by heart. As whispers and judgment swirl around her, Nadia grapples with the haunting question: how much longer can she endure the suffocating weight of their expectations?

As the tension between the three deepens, Nadia's quiet resolve begins to crack. Scott's gentle demeanor, once a source of comfort, now feels patronizing, reminding her of the child she no longer wants to be. With Jessica's reappearance, the stakes grow higher, and she faces an impossible choice: to remain the dutiful wife or to reclaim her voice and challenge the narrative that paints her as less than worthy.

In a world where love is a battlefield and loyalty is tested, will Nadia find the strength to redefine her place in Scott's life? Or will she be forever known as the fool who let her chance at happiness slip away?

I Left My CEO Husband, and He Went MadChapter 1

Everyone says Scott Kennedy, the young heir to one of California’s most influential families, married a fool.

Unfortunately, I’m the so-called fool they can’t stop talking about.

I never truly understood the meaning of "first love" until someone said, "Scott’s first love is the love of his life. And you? You’re just the fool he was forced to marry."

I couldn’t hold back. I broke down, bawling my eyes out and throwing myself onto the floor like a tantrum-throwing child.

Because, really, what else could I do?

I am a fool—or at least that’s all anyone seems to think. But even after all that, he still brought her back.

"You’re so pure and kind-hearted," he said, almost pleading as if he were asking for a favor. "Please, let her stay. Okay?"

Everyone calls me a fool, but even a fool like me knows one simple truth—my husband is supposed to belong to me.

If Scott starts falling for someone else, then… I don’t want him anymore.

...

During dinner, Scott Kennedy kept serving plate after plate to his first love, Jessica Smith.
