My husband, Charles Sinclair, and my best friend, Sophia Evans, had been together for six years, right under my nose. I'd been searching everywhere for a doctor who could fix Charles' bedroom problems. That day, I finally heard about an expert who had just returned from overseas, and I rushed to the hospital without a second thought. Before I even reached the office, I overheard a conversation at the door. "Mr. Sinclair, I barely got back to the country and you're already here," the doctor said. "Sounds like the rumors are true—you really haven't slept with your wife in six years." I was secretly relieved. At least Charles was finally facing the problem and seeing a doctor. Then I heard his cruel words. "Get lost. When I was with Sophia, I had no problems at all," he said. "I just can't stand my wife. Every time I think about the way she looked giving birth, it makes me sick. Besides, I promised Sophia I'd never touch her." The doctor sounded confused. "Then why are you here?" "Sophia's getting married. I'm letting her go. I couldn't keep her on the side forever," Charles said calmly. "I want my wife to welcome me home happily, so when she shows up, just tell her I was doing better." His words sent a chill from my head to my toes. So he had never been sick at all. And the Sophia he kept talking about was the same Sophia I had known for ten years—my closest friend. That left only one question. Why should I keep a man who had cheated on me for six years?
