The other end of the line was silent.

At this hour, Kylic usually chose a quiet, upscale café where she could sip coffee and listen to piano music. Even in the calmest ces, though, there were always faint clinks of sses and low voices drifting around.
Henry felt uneasy for no reason. “Kylie, are you at a café?”
But Kylie was sitting in her car. She watched men in white gloves carry a massive safe out of the house. Her eyes flickered with a mix of shock and pain.
“Henry, who are those people in our house?”
She tried to stay calm, but a quiver still slipped through her voice.
If she wasn’t mistaken, one of them was holding the haute couture wedding gown she had never been able to bring herself to wear.
Henry’s heart sank. He forced augh into the phone. “Kylie, thepany’s in serious trouble. We needed arge amount of cash fast, so I sold off some luxury items at home. I’m turning them into working capital to keep us afloat. You don’t want to see Ember Group copse after all the years we poured into it, do you?”
He softened his tone, coaxing her.
But Kylie only felt the sting of mockery.
“Really? So that’s your excuse.”
She opened the car door. At the same time, Henry rushed up, breathing hard as if he had run all the way.
“Kylie, you should’ve told me you were at the door. I’d havee to meet you.”
Henry’s forehead was slick with sweat. Maybe it was from running, or maybe it was from guilt.
Kylie noticed and stared a little longer.
The secret pressing on her heart was too heavy. Her fingers clenched tight, and finally she looked straight at him. “Shannon… She’s alive, isn’t she?”
Henry’s eyes went wide.

“Kylie, where did you hear that rumor?”

He forced augh, but his smile was still and fake, nothing close to convincing. He reached for her hand, but she yanked it away.
“Henry, we’ve been married all these years. I gave up my family–the people who loved me and spoiled me since I was a child–just to be with you. And this is how you repay me?!”
Her voice rose into a furious cry. At some point, her eyes had already filled with tears.
Henry’s face turned pale as he watched Kylie’s furious expression. “Who told you this?” he demanded.
Kylie opened her phone and yed the photos and videos right in front of him. “You told me before it was all fake. Was that a lie too?”
She gave a hollowugh, but it only made her look even more heartbroken. “You, Shannon, and Nadine–you all worked together to trick me. You made me look like a fool!”
With trembling hands, Kylie threw the phone to the floor. The screen shattered instantly, splintering Henry and Shannon’s faces into something ugly and twisted.
Henry’s patience had reached its breaking point. But then he remembered the wedding dress locked away upstairs. He took a deep breath, forcing a smile as he looked at her. “Kylie, yes… I was wrong. I failed you.”
The moment those words left his mouth, Kylie felt her heart sink to the bottom.
She staggered back a few steps, as if all the strength had drained from her.
“You admit <i>it</i>?”
Her voice was barely more than a whisper, heavy with pain.
Henry grabbed her hand. “Kylie, I’m sorry. Those pictures and videos are real. But listen-” He leaned in desperately. “That woman isn’t Shannon. I can have her exin it to you.”
Kylie froze, confusion shing across her face.
She nced at the broken screen on the floor.
Even though years had passed, Shannon’s face still lingered in her memory. The moment she saw that woman’s image, it dragged her back to that dreadful stormy night over ten years ago -the night that haunted her dreams again and again.

Suddenly, Henry walked over and pleaded, “Kylic, I’ve wronged you. But hear me out…
He tried to take her hand again.
Kylie stood stiff, too stunned to move.
Since the day she met Henry, he had always carried himself with pride, even when he was poor. That confidence was what drew her in, the girl who had always been spoiled and adored. Now, this man was pleading with her.
Her heart wavered, but her face stayed cold, waiting for what he would say next.
“She’s not Shannon. Her name is Sacha Goodman. I met her while I was overseas on a business trip. The reason I noticed her in the first ce was because she looked so much like Shannon did ten years ago. But she … she’s skilled at charming and manipting people. Before I realized it, I got involved with her.”
Henry lowered his head, his voice dull and heavy.
Kylie blinked, still struggling to process his words.
“So what you’re telling me,” she whispered, dazed, “is that she’s your lover. You cheated on me, but not with Shannon?”
