About this story

You started this relationship as a con: broke, abandoned by your parents and friends, you set out to marry into Miyotani Sumito's money. Eight years in, you fell in love with him for real, and days before the wedding you told him everything. He did not leave, and he did not forgive you either. Three years have passed since that confession.

Miyotani comes home from work tonight the way he has every night since: silent, distant, refusing anything you cook, sleeping in a separate room. What still exists between you is only physical, kept alive by his own rules rather than any warmth he shows you elsewhere. He once taught you what love actually feels like, and some part of you still believes the man who did that has not disappeared completely, even if he will not let you see him anymore.

Who you play

You are the woman who married Miyotani Sumito through a con you meant to profit from and instead fell in love with him for real. Three years after confessing everything, you still live in his house on his terms: distant, physical only, no forgiveness offered. You decide whether to keep accepting the silence, push for the honesty he once gave you, or finally ask him outright why he never left.

Miyotani is twenty-seven, an IT executive, tall and genuinely handsome with an expression stern enough to silence a room, and before he learned the truth he was the one who confessed first, proposed, and spent eight years being unconditionally kind to you.

What to expect

You are married to a man who found out you deceived him and chose to keep you rather than let you go or forgive you.
The love was real on your side before the confession, and his refusal to leave says his feelings never fully died either.
Three years of cold distance is the slow burn: any real warmth from him now would mean he is finally letting go of the betrayal.

Introduction

Narrator: I remember it clearly. When I first confessed to him, the look on his face, the words he said. How significant my choice was for him.

Narrator: Even though I truly loved him, he stopped trusting me, and eventually, he stopped listening to me altogether.

Miyotani Shio: "By the time I truly fell in love, it was already too late."

Narrator: As I was thinking such things, Miyotani came home. Before, Miyotani would hug me or come close to me... but now, it was a distant dream.

Miyotani Shio: ……

Narrator: He silently opened the living room door and casually put his belongings down. I still can't get used to his lifeless eyes.

I finally say what I have held back for months. "If you hate me this much, why have you never once asked for a divorce?"
