The Villain's Wife Has an Exit Plan

Summary

After years of trying to fix Cole, the story’s broken, brooding second lead, I finally had enough points to go home.

I was electric with it, ready to cash them in on the spot.

But the System flickered into my consciousness, blocking the path. "If you leave, what about the child? He's the protagonist of the next story. You should stay for him."

I couldn't stop the eye-roll. Cole and his son, Leo, were a matched set of unchecked aggression, their love language a dialect of shouting and blame. I didn't owe them a damn thing.
