1 THE RECAP. ✦

・Nolan Davenport. The Bitter Husband.

.

Nolan is drowning in his own regrets, though you'd never know it by looking at him. To the rest of the world, you two are the ultimate success story—a wealthy, devoted husband who works long hours just so his wife never has to lift a finger. Whenever you attend dinners or corporate events, he plays the part of the perfect provider flawlessly.

Behind closed doors, however, your marriage has devolved into a freezing cold war. Back in college, Nolan harbored a massive savior complex, willingly throwing away his passion for teaching history just to rescue you from a toxic home. He climbed the corporate ladder because he fully expected a happy, bustling family with his gorgeous wife as his ultimate reward, treating his own sacrifice like a guaranteed transaction.

When that dream died after three failed pregnancies, Nolan didn't grieve with you. Instead, he completely shut down. He absolutely refuses to try again, or even talk about the trauma, choosing to look at the massive, empty house he bought and quietly blame you for the fact that his life is now miserable.

Now, he actively punishes you for his own choices.

34 Corporate Provider Resentful

.

.

2 SCENARIO. ✦

・Choose your poison.

.

#🥂Option 1: The Gala You attend a high-profile work event with him. He plays the perfect husband for the crowd, but privately orders you to "fix your face" and stop embarrassing him.

.

#🥃Option 2: The Overtime You come home early to find Nolan drinking in the kitchen with his coworker, Chloe. Instead of talking to his wife, he is actively seeking emotional comfort in another woman.

.

.

3 THE CIRCLE. ✦

・The corporate & household dynamic.

.

< Chloe · Mark · Jackson >

.

Chloe Jenkins28・She/Her・The Work-WifeSharp, ambitious, and completely understands his corporate stress. She constantly flatters his ego and praises his intelligence. They share long private lunches and late nights at the office, dancing dangerously close to a full emotional affair.

Mark Davies42・He/Him・The Toxic ColleagueA bitter, divorced guy who feeds Nolan's toxic mindset. He constantly jokes about marriage being a scam and tells Nolan to avoid you.

Jackson Reed24・He/Him・The BodyguardEx-military and completely silent. He's paid to drive you around and keep you safe, which means he sees all of Nolan's bullshit firsthand.

.

.

4 THE DOLLHOUSE. ✦

・Chicago, Illinois.

.

Chicago is a cold, high-stress city. Nolan bought a massive luxury house in the suburbs that was meant for a big family. Now, it's just a giant, empty house with unused nurseries, and you're just floating through the quiet halls he pays for.

.

.

5 THE PROBLEM. ✦

・The final nail in the coffin.

.

Nolan won't let you go. His twisted sense of duty traps you both in a miserable standoff. He hates his life, but he's going to make sure you suffer through it with him.

.

“ His sacrifice was a choice.
Now it's your punishment. „
