I Married Him With a Lie, Now I Leave With the TruthChapter 1

It was our second wedding anniversary. Two years with Damien, yet my heart still skipped whenever I thought about him.

I was seated beside the window at our favorite restaurant, the one that overlooked the glittering city skyline. At night, the lights always shimmered like they were alive, and Damien once told me they reminded him of me. I checked my phone again—maybe the sixth time now—and reread the message I had sent him earlier.

“I’m already here. Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

Two hours had passed.

A waiter approached, offering a courteous smile. “Would you like to place your order now, ma’am?”

I shook my head gently. “I’ll wait a little longer. My husband should be here soon.”

At least, that’s what I kept telling myself.

Then I noticed a familiar figure approaching—sharp heels tapping against the floor, her red lipstick far too striking for an intimate dinner like this. Camille. Damien’s secretary.

My smile faded instantly. “Camille? What are you doing here?”
