Everyone in the capital's elite knew Andrew Lawson, the crown prince and deputy head of Investment and Construction, adored his wife. After three years of dating and nearly four years of marriage, his devotion didn't waver, even when their circle was chaotic. He'd quit work early to cook dinner with me, catch a movie, or just hang out—no scandals, no drama. Then I found the college girl hidden in his apartment. I barged in, face burning, and grabbed his shirt. "You swore it'd just be us. Forever. Was that a lie? Did three years mean nothing?" He pulled my hand gentle. "Emily, don't freak out. I'll send her away." He was back by my side, like nothing happened. Life went back to normal. Then I overheard at a reunion: the girl had tried to kill herself because of him. Andrew moved her again—another apartment, another secret. And that's when I finally understood. His version of "coming back" wasn't about rekindling us. It was about making her disappear permanently, while keeping her silent.
