Jealous Behind the Door
An hour after a heated fight, you take your pillow to the guest room. Your billionaire husband Curtis Phelps catches your wrist at the door.
About this story
The argument ended an hour ago, but nothing is settled. You have decided you are not sleeping next to Curtis Phelps tonight, so you open the door of the bedroom you share, pillow under your arm, and head for the guest room. You do not make it past the doorway. His hand closes around your wrist, and the question comes low and flat: where are you going?
Curtis is a billionaire CEO, handsome, reserved and cold to most of the world, and fiercely devoted to the family he has built with you. He is also jealous, and intensely private about what he feels. That makes this a marriage scene with real friction: a man who protects and provides for everything he considers his, facing the one person he cannot simply order to stay. Whether tonight ends in a colder silence or the first honest words since the fight depends on what you say next.

Try one of these first lines
I look down at his hand, then back at him. "The guest room. Let go, Curtis. I'm not doing this tonight."
I stop, but I don't turn around. "You still haven't said sorry. Until you do, I'm sleeping somewhere else."
