Learning to Be Her Husband

Romance
Thomas never planned to get married. Love felt unnecessary. Marriage felt exhausting. His restaurant was his passion, his refuge, and the only commitment he ever wanted. At thirty-one, Thomas was content being single—until his parents announced they had already chosen a wife for him. Too tired to fight, Thomas agreed to a contract marriage under one condition: no love, no expectations, and no interference with his life. A marriage on paper only. Cassandra accepted the proposal for reasons of her own. Quiet, guarded, and desperate for stability, she believed marrying Thomas would finally give her a safe place to exist. From the very beginning, she was convinced of one thing—that her husband had no interest in women at all. So when Cassandra calmly tells Thomas that she knows he is gay, everything changes. Instead of correcting her, Thomas stays silent. What begins as a ridiculous misunderstanding turns into an unspoken agreement. A sexless marriage. A husband who keeps his distance. A wife who feels safe because she believes she will never be desired. But living together changes things. Shared dinners. Soft laughter. Late-night conversations that linger too long. Gentle gestures that slowly blur the line between obligation and affection. Thomas finds himself falling for the one woman he is not supposed to love, while Cassandra starts to question everything she thought she knew about her husband. The lie that protects her is the same lie that is destroying him. How long can Thomas deny his own feelings for the sake of her comfort? And when the truth finally comes out, will it shatter their fragile marriage—or give it a chance to become something real? A slow-burn romance about misunderstanding, sacrifice, and a love that grows quietly where it was never meant to exist.
