Charles Thompson was convinced his wife was out to ruin him!
Charles met his wife, Eleanor, in Dallas right after she graduated from law school. She was everything a man like him could desire, beautiful and graceful.
From the moment he saw her, he knew he wanted her in his life and he was ready to do all it takes.
He proposed to her not long after, but there was one issue that doesn't sit right with him.
Eleanor's aspirations as a lawyer didn't sit well with him.
"I strongly believe in traditional roles. A wife's place is at home," Charles had explained to Elena. "The man provides; the woman nurtures."
As a billionaire physician, the CEO of VossBio hospital and Pharmaceuticals, a leading pharmaceutical company in the country.
Providing could never be a struggle for him or his generations to come.
Not to talk of him being the heir of the prestigious billionaire Thompson family
However, Eleanor was the eldest of two daughters and came from a struggling family with no sons.
Her parents sold their small property to send her to college.
During their courtship, Charles had assured her he'd support not only her but also her family. He even promised to pay for her younger sister Margaret's college education.
Her parents won't have to take loans to send Margaret to school anymore. His only condition was that Eleanor should give up her career and accept a traditional role of being a billionaire's housewife.
Eleanor, who was deeply in love with Charles and, against her better judgment, agreed.
She walked down the aisle blinded by love and affection, convinced she'd found her happily-ever-after.
For the first few months, everything was perfect...almost.
Eleanor was the picture of a devoted wife, and Charles, well, by his own standards, tried to be a good husband.
But Loyalty?
That was never part of his plan.
He'd told himself it wasn't his fault-it was just how men like him were wired. Biologically men are not meant to be monogamous.
Therefore mentally justifying his infidelities.
A year into their marriage, Eleanor became pregnant.
Charles wasn't ready for children, so he pressured her to terminate the pregnancy.
Eleanor was heartbroken and devastated , she had always wanted to be a mother as soon as possible but she eventually gave in.
To honor her husband's request.
When it happened a second and third time and Charles kept suggesting abortions, the strain on her body became irreparable.
By the fourth termination, Eleanor lost her ability to conceive.
Charles consoled her with promises of advanced medical solutions and told her they'd figure it out.
But deep inside, he felt no guilt.
She was his wife; it was her role to obey him.
Then came the affair just a week after the loss of Eleanor's ability to conceive.
She found him in bed with another woman.
A younger woman whom Eleanor recognized as a neighbor in their estate.
To Charles' shock, Eleanor didn't scream,cry of betrayal and hurt regarding her medical condition nor demand a divorce like most women of today would.
She didn't even put up a fight.
Instead, she calmly packed an overnight bag and stayed at a friend's house.
When she returned the next day, she went to Charles and simply informed him that as long as he takes care of her family and remains the provider, she'll stay.
Men will be men, after all.
This woman was a law graduate, even an attorney by qualification.
So of course her words shocked Charles to the bones.
In Fact he was stunned!
