On the third anniversary of my marriage to Ethan Gregory, he went public with Cherry Lewis on Instagram, posting a photo of them skiing in Alveria. And I was the only one he blocked from seeing it. Wearing an expensive dress, I stood in the middle of the crowd, awkwardly making excuses for him. A laugh came from the corner. Someone said, "Come on, everyone knows Mr. Gregory went skiing with Ms. Lewis. Mrs. Gregory, you didn't check Instagram?" I froze, my smile stiffening. Five minutes earlier, I'd gotten a photo from Cherry. It was two naked bodies tangled together, so explicit that it made my blood boil. Cherry also sent a sickly sweet voice message, teasing me, "Vivian, if you have any pride at all, leave Ethan. He loves me. So let him go if you don't love him." In the background, I could hear Ethan breathing hard. "Darling, focus." I bit my lip and held back the shame. It was fine. If Cherry loved picking up my leftovers that much, she could go ahead. She could be Mrs. Gregory. I didn't want it anyway.
