He Regretted it After He Found Out I Didn't Love Him

During the time my house was leaking, Martin White's assistant, Grace Smith, posted a nine-photo collage of her cream-themed home renovation on her social media. Her caption read, "Thanks to my boss for gifting me this home with full renovation included. He was so patient with my preferences. It's like a perfect one-to-one recreation."

I glanced at the pile of renovation materials next to me—all premium stuff. Among them were tools and sealants I thought I might use to fix my own leaks.

In one of the photos, Grace and Martin had their cheeks pressed closely together, radiating intimacy.
