Chapter 1

I ended my business trip early, not telling anyone, just to surprise Arthur Thompson.

Now, the surprise had turned into a shock.

The photo album on the computer had no pictures of us.

The first photo showed Arthur, shirtless, embracing a strange blonde woman. The background was the gray bed in our bedroom.

The date on the photo was the first day I left for my business trip to Miami.

I scrolled down.

The second woman, innocent with long, straight black hair, kissing him on my favorite sofa.

The date was the day I went back to my parents' house for the weekend.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Faces flashed before my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt incredibly ridiculous.

The timeline of the photos started three years ago, running through every moment he pursued me, fell in love with me, and even proposed to me.

He was arranging 999 roses into a heart shape below my office building, making headlines in the city.

Meanwhile, in our home, he was sleeping with different women.

Just three days ago, he had knelt before everyone and proposed to me.

He said, "Olivia, marry me. Let me take care of you for the rest of your life."

My heart softened, and I said yes.

He immediately pulled me into his arms, took out his phone, and snapped a picture of our ring-clad, clasped hands.

The caption: "A wish, finally come true."

Under that Ins post, hundreds of mutual friends liked and congratulated us.

What a perfect "devoted lover" act.

I turned around, saved all the photos, and packaged them to send to our shared company email.
