Chapter 2 – When Secrets Refuse to Stay Buried
The story spread through the city before sunset.
Videos from the hotel leaked online.
The canceled wedding became the talk of everyone who knew us.
But that wasn't the worst part for Ethan.
Two days later, his father asked him one question.
"How long has this been happening?"
Ethan hesitated.
Too long.
His silence answered everything.
Sophie hadn't just betrayed me once.
Their affair had lasted nearly eight months.
Every bridal shower.
Every dress fitting.
Every cake tasting.
They had smiled in my face while secretly meeting behind my back.
His parents were devastated.
His younger sister refused to speak to him.
His grandmother mailed back the invitation with only four handwritten words.
"You destroyed your family."
Meanwhile, I packed my apartment.
Every photograph.
Every gift.
Every memory.
Gone.
Then, while emptying the final drawer...
I found something unexpected.
A small envelope.
Inside was a receipt from a private investigator.
My name.
Ethan's signature.
The date...
Three months before our wedding.
