His Unfaithfulness Killed Our Decade of Love

Synopsis

The week before I was supposed to marry Samuel Hayes, my childhood friend, he walked out of the bathroom, towel-drying his hair, and suddenly said, "I slept with her. You know, your dad's illegitimate daughter, Chloe Grant." He said it as casually as if he were talking about what to have for dinner. I froze, thinking I must have misheard. But he didn't look the least bit guilty. "She made the first move. Honestly, we've been seeing each other for ages. We never really stopped. "She's pretty uninhibited, and she's really good at it. The first time was an accident, but after that, not so much." After ten years of this rollercoaster romance, this was the second time Samuel had betrayed me. The first time I caught him, he held a knife to his throat and begged me to stay, putting his life on the line. But right now, his eyes were glazed with the smug satisfaction of someone who'd finished their best sex. Samuel said, "We're getting married next week. You'll be my official wife, and she'll never set foot in this house. As long as you turn a blind eye, you'll get everything you're owed. "We've been together for ten years. It's not worth breaking up over something this trivial, is it?" Just then, my phone buzzed with a message from my boss. [Are you interested in long-term posting in Baris? Think it over and let me know by tomorrow morning.] I fell silent, then replied almost instantly: [Yes, I do.]
