From His Secret Wife to His Biggest Regret

One day before our wedding anniversary, I found a receipt for a fancy restaurant reservation in Scott's desk drawer as well as a jewelry box, which, when I opened it, was a necklace with a pendulum "V". I was sure "V" was for Vanessa, for me. I thought Scott wanted to surprise me, so I prepared to buy a fancy dress for our special day.

When that day finally came, Scott didn’t even bother coming home. He vanished, with no calls, no texts, and nothing. Restless and uneasy, I rushed to the restaurant, hoping for answers.

But what I found shattered me.
