I’m Mizuki. I was left speechless by a text from Takumi saying he’s cutting me off financially starting next year. If he stops paying the bills, I’ll be stuck covering the mortgage and utilities all on my own. Panicked, I tried calling him immediately, but he just brushed me off. To make matters worse, he blocked me on everything. My heart is breaking from the anger and sadness. I lost my parents young and have no one else to turn to. I’ve never felt so utterly hopeless.
I came home completely drained, only to stumble upon my husband’s billing statement. There it was: “Pub: $150,” “Gym: $200,” and a staggering “$400 for a dating site.” In that moment, I realized exactly why Takumi said he was done paying the bills, and I was shaking with rage.
But I know if I confront him now, he’ll cut me off instantly. For Yamato’s sake, I have to bite my tongue for now. Swallowing my anger and grief, I made a silent vow: one day, I’m going to make him regret this.
