Infidelity: His Regret, My Revenge – A Twisted Love Story You Can't Ignore

Chapter 16

After dinner, I curled up on the sofa. I drafted the text a dozen times but still couldn’t hit send. What was Evan playing? He let Gary tell me his measurements but refused to give me his address? I couldn’t decipher his intentions, and I didn’t want to. Apart from this unresolved suit issue, we wouldn’t talk to each other again.

Footsteps approached. I deleted the text and sat up.

My heart skipped a beat. He’d found out? What was wrong with this guy? He came home for dinner without warning and even checked the walk–in closet upstairs?

“I took my clothes and shoes to the dry cleaner, and the bags and jewelry to be serviced.” My mind raced, but I maintained a calm and bewildered façade.
