Love Is A Lie We Tell

Synopsis

Years ago, Chester Sampson had a huge fight with his first love. Hurt and angry, she left the country without looking back. To get back at her, he married me—no one but his ever-faithful follower. Five years into our marriage, she returned. They made sure everyone saw their reunion online. And he even moved her into the house that was meant to be ours. Everyone whispered that I was just a side character in their epic love story—a pitiful stand-in. I never complained or explained, just playing my part as the perfect, obedient wife. But one night, the wine unlocked a pain I couldn't contain. I found myself holding a faded old picture, sobbing without control. He grabbed my wrist, his eyes red-rimmed, and choked out, "Eunice, you do love me... don't you?" I slapped him hard across the face. "You?" I sneered, voice cold. "Don't tell me you actually thought you deserved my love."
