The man stared at his phone screen, his eyes glazed over. The photo of the smiling toddler stared back at him, but he didn’t see it. His mind was racing.
He needed a third wife.
His current wife was too much for him to handle. She was always nagging him, demanding his attention. And the toddler was a constant drain on his resources. He needed someone who would be more understanding, more supportive.
He had been searching for months now, but he hadn’t found anyone suitable. He had tried online dating, but the women he met were all the same: high-maintenance and materialistic. He wanted someone who was simple and down-to-earth,someone who would be happy with the little things.
He sighed and rubbed his temples. He was starting to lose hope.
Suddenly, he had an idea. He reached for his phone and opened his contacts list. He scrolled down until he found the name he was looking for: Sarah.
Sarah was a coworker of his. She was a quiet, shy woman, but she was also kind and gentle. He had always been drawn to her, but he had never had the courage to ask her out.
He took a deep breath and dialed her number.
**
Sarah was surprised to hear from him. They had never really spoken before, but she had always thought he was attractive.
He invited her to dinner, and she accepted.
They had a wonderful time together. He was charming and attentive, and she found herself drawn to him more and more.
At the end of the night, he walked her to her door. He hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and kissed her.
She kissed him back.
**
They started dating, and quickly fell in love. He told her about his two previous marriages, and his desire to have a third wife. She was understanding and supportive. She told him that she loved him, and that she would be happy to be his third wife.
He was overjoyed. He had finally found the woman he had been searching for.
**
They were married a few months later. Sarah moved into his house, and became stepmother to his toddler.
At first, everything was great. Sarah was everything he had wanted in a wife. She was kind, gentle, and understanding.She loved his toddler as if he were her own.
But then, things started to change.
He became more and more demanding. He wanted her to wait on him hand and foot. He wanted her to be available to him at all times.
She tried to please him, but it was never enough. He was always criticizing her, finding fault with everything she did.
She started to feel overwhelmed and stressed. She began to lose weight and have trouble sleeping.
One day, she couldn’t take it anymore. She confronted him about his behavior.
He exploded. He accused her of being lazy and ungrateful. He told her that she didn’t deserve to be his wife.
She was devastated. She couldn’t believe that the man she loved was treating her this way.
She packed her bags and left.
The man was furious. He couldn’t believe that Sarah had left him. He had everything he could ever want: three wives, a toddler, and a successful career.
But he didn’t realize that his greed and his violence had destroyed everything.
He was now alone, with his toddler and his two ex-wives. He was surrounded by people who loved him, but he had pushed them all away.
He sat at his desk, staring at the photo of his toddler. He regretted everything he had done. He knew that he would never be happy until he learned to love and respect the people in his life.
