Mr CEO, Please Exit!
One year...
52 weeks...
365 days...
Time was measured in moments, the moments that had mattered and Shaelyn only realized this as she stared down at a medical report diagnosing her with a terminal heart condition, and a year life expectancy at best.
In that moment, the regrets set in.
Trapped in a loveless marriage to a man whose affections lay elsewhere, Shaelyn's life was a tragedy of unrequited love and unfulfilled dreams.
Now with only a year left to live and a baby on the way, Shaelyn had just one way out...a divorce and a clean escape before Nixon could realize she was carrying his child.
But what is Shaelyn to do when her CEO husband has no intentions to allow a divorce?
"Shae, you can only be my woman..." Nixon whispered in Shaelyn's ears.
Shaelyn clutched her abdomen on instinct, her heart pounding in her chest as a terrifying thought settled in her mind.
'He would not commit to her... and he would not let her go too...'
'What would Nixon do if he ever discovered there was more than just a vow between them now but a child too?'
What is Shaelyn to do when her life comes under threat by the 'other woman'?
What happens when a loving woman and mother vows bitter revenge?

Apologize! Don’t make me think you’re an unrepentant woman!” Nixon’s voice boomed, echoing with a mix of anger and disappointment.
Shaelyn felt her heart plummet as the wave of sorrow she had fought so hard to suppress crashed over her.
In that moment, doubt crept into her mind. Perhaps she had misjudged everything from the very beginning; it was Nixon who had inflicted the deepest wounds upon her...not Leyla, it was her own husband.
Time and again, he had chosen to seek solace in the arms of another woman, while she, standing right before him—had become invisible with just one phone call.
With only a year left to live, all she sought was a fair chance at happiness. Shaelyn took a shaky breath, fighting back tears that threatened to spill over. Her voice quivered as she spoke with resignation and resolve.
“Nixon, I’m exhausted. Let’s end this, let’s get a divorce.” Shaelyn made her decision clear.
