If she succeeded in her project, she would take another step forward in her career.The wedding could be simple, but her career? That was her choice, and I wouldn’t let it be affected.What I didn’t realize was that her “business trip”was just an excuse to spend time with her first love and thirteen guy friends!When I called her to ask if she needed me to bring anything to her trip, she hesitated before saying no.
“I don’t need anything. It’s a long trip, and I have most of what I need in my office. If there’s anything else, I can always buy it. Just focus on the wedding, love.”Her voice grew quieter toward the end of the call, and she quickly hung up. But just before the call ended, I heard a man’s voice in the background.A voice that couldn’t be explained away.
I felt cold, a deep chill running through me. And then, I got a message from one of my college roommates.“Evan, it’s not that I don’t want to congratulate you, but you don’t really know Olivia.”Didn’t know her? We had been together for seven years. How could I not know her?But when I opened the screenshot my friend had sent, I froze.It was a chat between Olivia and one of her college friends, sent after she and I had already started dating.
