Five Years Post‑Divorce: I Delivered Food to My Ex‑Wife’s Tomson Riviera Mansion

Ethan Carter delivers food to survive. His son Noah waits in the hospital for life-saving treatment, so Ethan braves a torrential downpour, taking every order he can to pay the bills. Then a call from an unknown number pulls him back to Tomson Riviera, the mansion of Claire Morgan, the ex-wife he once wronged.

Claire Morgan makes him fetch coffee again and again, each cup rejected, each trip back into the rain. When Ethan asks her to settle the nine hundred dollars he spent, she flings a stack of bills at his face, cutting his cheek, and tells him to pick them up. He does, for Noah's sake, then leaves without a sound.

At the hospital, Dr. Grant tends his wound, but Claire Morgan and Ryan Brooks brush past him without a second glance. Meanwhile, Claire Morgan's assistant reports that Mr. Carter seems to have a child in the hospital.
