My Husband's Betrayal on Our Tenth Anniversary

Killian Barnes broke his promise on our tenth wedding anniversary, choosing to leave me behind for a business trip with his female assistant. When he returned, he handed me a collectible pink diamond necklace, calling it a gesture of apology.

For a moment, I thought he truly loved me. But when I turned around, I saw her—his assistant—adorned in a dazzling set of emerald jewelry, far more exquisite and valuable than my own.

I played my part, pretending to be the gracious and understanding Mrs. Barnes. On the surface, I smiled, but inside, a storm brewed. As their brazenness grew, so did my pain. They thought I was asleep in the bedroom, but I overheard everything—their whispered words, their laughter, their betrayal—just a wall away in the study.
