When I questioned Seraphina about her assistant, Caleb, for the eighth time, she just coldly pointed to the door.
“It’s exactly what you think it is. If you can’t handle it, you can move out of my house.”
The moment she spoke, words I alone could see flashed before my eyes.
[Don't listen to her, bro! She's just mad you don't trust her!]
[Just tell her you're jealous, and she'll drop to her knees, explaining everything!]
For the first time, I ignored those words. I just looked at Seraphina and said, “Fine.”

I turned and walked back into my room to pack. The words in front of me started shaking even faster.
[Bro, don't be impulsive! She's just playing hard to get, but she totally cares about you!]
[If our guy just turns around and looks at her, her tears will start falling!]
I paused, my hands still on my packing.
I was the one who pursued Seraphina. Back then, she was our university’s most famous real-life Cinderella story.
Beautiful, from a troubled family, she’d topped her major for three consecutive years and even won a national award.
Guys swarmed around her, but her perpetually cold face kept them at bay.
Only I persevered for three years, finally winning over that ice queen.
Even after we became official, her constant aloofness didn't bother me.
I believed that if I loved her enough, the ice would eventually melt for me.
Later, when I found out her parents had both cheated on each other when she was just a child, leaving her with a fractured family...
My eyes welled up as I told her, “No matter what happens, I’ll always stand by you. I’ll never push you away.”
That night, Seraphina clung to me, wanting me all night long.
And those invisible words? They appeared after I proposed to Seraphina.
They told me why Seraphina would get inexplicably angry.
They taught me what to do when she was furious, her eyes red, telling me to leave.
They said an ice queen like Seraphina needed someone as warm and fiery as me to melt her heart.
At first, I believed it was a reward from above.
Until one day, Seraphina came home with the scent of another man’s cologne clinging to her.
They said: [She just wants you to be jealous, bro! It’s just a little game women play.]
The first time Seraphina didn’t reply to my texts, and then hung up when I called.
They said: [Keep calling, bro! She’s secretly thrilled seeing your name flash over and over!]
Another time, at 2 AM, Seraphina’s phone was off. I searched everywhere she might be in the pouring rain, only to come home and see her being helped out of a car by her assistant, Caleb.
They said: [What’s she doing wrong? She just wants to close this deal to travel the world with you, bro!]
And finally, today, I couldn't hold back anymore and asked Seraphina again: "Pictures of you kissing Caleb were sent right to my phone. How do you explain that?"
And... that's how I ended up here, packing my bags.
But honestly, this wasn’t the first time I’d heard Seraphina say, ‘Get out of my house.’
After we got married, her favorite line was always, ‘Get out of my house.’
She knew I had no one else in this unfamiliar city, that going home by train would take 16 hours. She was aware my parents weren't in good health, and she knew I never burdened them with my troubles.
So, the moment we argued, those words would fly out.
And when she said them, any big problem we had suddenly became *my* problem.
I still remember the first time she said it. I was stunned, sitting in our room, feeling utterly miserable. Three hours later, she came in, knelt before me, her eyes slowly turning red, and her voice trembling as she pleaded.
“Asher, I don’t know why, but when I get angry, I just think of how my mom used to treat my dad.”
“For me, this place isn't home unless you’re here.”
