He Called Me Disgusting, Then Kissed Her ForkChapter 1

Three years of marriage, and because my husband had germaphobia, we'd always eaten from separate dishes.

Until the day I caught him sharing a meal with his little assistant.

She'd left half a bowl of food uneaten. He picked it up and finished every last grain.

I didn't make a scene. I just organized a group dinner the next day.

When the meal was winding down, I scraped everyone's leftovers into his bowl.

"Eat up. Aren't you the one who hates wasting food?"

He didn't say a word. His little assistant was the one who lost it first.

"Mrs. Matthews, you've spent three years as a housewife, never once checking a price tag, all because of Mr. Matthews's generosity."

"And now you're humiliating him in public over something so trivial? How ungrateful can you be?"

I wasn't angry. I just said, "You're fired."

My husband, who had always been the picture of composure, slammed his palm on the table and turned on me for the first time in our marriage.

"Judith Randall, you have no right to fire my employees!"

I let out a quiet laugh. Once a man goes bad, there's no point keeping him around.

Worst case, I'd just recruit another one.
