I'd been with Cason Burton for five years, and he was always stingy about spending money on me. Even on Valentine's Day, he'd just give me some flowers someone else had tossed out. But on my best friend, Clara Dorsey's birthday, I caught him taking Clara on a vacation to Bareon Island, the place I'd always dreamed of visiting. He even threw her a huge birthday party. I demanded answers from Cason, tears rolling down my cheeks, but he just shrugged, unfazed. "She's just a friend. Stop overreacting." Later, he started spending lavishly, hoping I'd take him back. But I was already holding my husband's hand, and I didn't even look Cason's way.
