The Ultimate Deception: My Wife

“Tonight was supposed to be our third anniversary, a celebration of three blissful years with Gabrielle, the woman who saved me after my first wife, Molly, destroyed my family. I was heading to the master bedroom for her gift when I overheard voices: Gabrielle and Molly. "You actually pulled it off, Gabi. You married him," Molly said, dripping envy. Gabrielle laughed, a sound that now sent a chill down my spine. "Of course I did. It was the only way. I had to make him pay for what he did to Ryan, for what he did to our family." The online scandal, my parents' accident-all of it, her idea. The woman I loved, the one I thought was my angel, was the architect of my destruction, plotting revenge for a past I didn' t even understand. My parents? I was the one who anonymously paid off their debts, saving them from ruin. Ryan? He was the bully who tormented me through high school. My savior was my tormentor, and I had unknowingly invited her into my life for three years of calculated torture. I forced a brittle smile, pretending not to have heard the sickening truth. I would make them pay.”
