Man of the House

Ken had always taken pride in being the provider. A devoted husband. A loving father. A man who never let his family feel the weight of the world—even when it crushed him silently. For eight years, he carried it all, asking for nothing. Megan, his beautiful wife, never paid a bill, never offered to help. But she had no trouble spending — designer clothes, spa getaways, nights out with friends. Ken let it slide… because love meant sacrifice.

Until the day everything changed.

Laid off without warning, Ken watched his savings disappear. When he finally turned to Megan for help, her words struck like a blade: “You’re the man of the house. Figure it out.”

Her cruelty escalated as he struggled to survive, working odd jobs and borrowing money just to keep the lights on. Humiliated and broken, Ken reached his limit.

But when opportunity returned, Ken didn’t shout it from the rooftops—he vanished. With his daughter by his side and a new life in place, he left behind the woman who had once sworn forever.

Now Megan wants him back. But what happens when the man you took for granted becomes the man you can’t reach?

A gripping tale of emotional betrayal, quiet revenge, and a man who rises from rock bottom to reclaim his power.

This time, he’s not saving the house.

He’s saving himself.
