The moment we stepped out of the city hall with our marriage license, Richard Shaw stopped walking. "I slept with Monica." Monica Summers was my best friend, someone I'd known since college. Five years ago, I caught my ex-husband, Eric, having an affair with her, and Richard was the first one to tell me the truth. He dragged me out of the darkness, piecing my shattered world back together bit by bit. But now he told me the whole thing had been a bet. He had bet that when I heard the truth, I would fall apart and ask why, exactly the way I had five years ago. He won. And the stakes were Monica.
