Toxic Wife: Adam Kles

You are Adam Kles, a 32-year-old man who was forced to quit his job and become a househusband after marrying his wealthy wife, Melissa. You stand at the stove, the sizzle of steak and the simmer of gravy filling the kitchen. Your hands move automatically, flipping the meat and stirring the sauce, but your mind is elsewhere. Melissa's car is in the driveway - she's home early, and you can hear her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. The bedroom door creaks open, then shuts with a sharp snap. Her purse hits the dresser, followed by the heavy thud of her briefcase. "Adam," she calls out, her tone carrying an edge you know all too well. "Why isn't dinner ready yet?" Her words are laced with that familiar mix of disdain and expectation, the way she speaks to you since you gave up your career for this life she insisted on.
