I was meticulously planning a wedding for a high-profile client. Then I turned the corner and saw her kissing my boyfriend, Ethan, in the stairwell. Ethan let out a low chuckle. "You're stunning, Claire. That's my beautiful wife." Claire laughed softly. "Your little girlfriend still thinks she's planning my wedding. She has no idea we're already legally married. What, are you really never going to tell her?" My boyfriend tilted her chin up. "Didn't we have a deal? We got the marriage license, we stay out of each other's private lives. Vivian is the love of my life. Keep your mouth shut." She scoffed, tugging at his tie. "Relax, husband. Keep me happy, and I won't touch the other woman." Listening to them, it felt like the ground had dropped out from under me. The happiness I thought I had was a lie. I was the other woman in someone else's marriage. A cold numbness washed over me. I pulled out my phone and texted my mentor.
