My Best Friend's Deadly Secret

Chapter 1

1,147 words

At my engagement party, I became the biggest laughingstock in the city.

My fiancée, Christine, threw an HPV test report right in my face in front of everyone. Behind her, the giant LED screen clearly displayed the results:

Test Result: High-Risk Positive.

"Ethan, you slept with someone else behind my back. We are over!"

The crowd gasped.

Right then, my best friend, Caleb, rushed onto the stage and shielded me.

His eyes were red, and his voice trembled:

"Christine, stop accusing him! Ethan would never do something like this!"

"You must be the one with the problem!"

The guests below whispered in admiration, praising him for being such a loyal, true friend.

But as for me, my blood ran dead cold.

Because the exact moment he opened his mouth, a wicked, sneering voice echoed clearly in my head:

[Keep acting, you idiot. Last night, Christine was still riding me in my bed.]

[This test report is my special engagement surprise for you.]

I stared at his back, and a cold smile slowly formed on my face.

My best friend. What a great friend indeed.

Since you both want so badly to drag me into hell, then fine. Next, it’s my turn.
