Hearing my husband’s inner voice Ch 4
Mike and I had an arranged marriage.
The Sutton family wanted the new mine discovered by Johnson Enterprises, and the Johnson family wanted the Suttons’ money.
On our wedding night, Mike laid down three ground rules.
First, we would sleep in separate rooms.
Second, resources would be shared between our two companies.
The third rule was for me to decide.
I never figured out what to ask for, so it remained blank.
I had heard that Mike had a childhood sweetheart.
So when he suggested separate bedrooms, I wasn’t surprised.
For three years, Mike remained cold toward me.
But he and his childhood sweetheart remained constantly entangled through work.
The Johnson family’s marriage into the Sutton family was already seen as marrying up.
Everyone in our social circle said that once the Johnson-Sutton cooperation ended, Mike would divorce me.
They were all waiting to see me humiliated.
To see me abandoned by the Suttons, desperately clinging on.
Falling from heaven into the mud.
Little did they know, they were the joke.
In these three years, I used Mike’s connections to elevate Johnson Enterprises to new heights.
Soon, we became the second largest corporation in S City, after only Sutton Corp.
The love that Mike Sutton didn’t value was worth nothing to me, Sarah Johnson.
But now, I’d heard Mike’s thoughts.
It seemed that behind my back, he had secretly grown a love-obsessed brain.
