Chapter 1 After a quick shopping spree at Brookfield Place , I had the perfect idea : surprise Edgar at his office and take him out for lunch .
In my hand , I clutched a small black box the Cartier watch Id bought as a birthday gift for him .
I couldnt wait to see the look on his face .
When I stepped onto his floor , it was oddly quiet , Even his secretarys desk was empty .
Strange , but I shrugged it off and headed straight for his office .
I reached the door and carefully turned the handle , wanting my surprise to go off without a hitch .
But before I could step in , I heard it .
a womans soft sigh , followed by a mans voice Grace , you always keep me satisfied .
My chest tightened , and my heart started pounding .
That voice .
It was Edgar .
My husband.
And Grace ? What the hell was she doing in there ? || I slowly pushed the door open , and my worst nightmare unfolded right in front of me .
Edgar and Grace were all over each other , completely lost in their own world .
Their bodies pressed together like they couldnt get enough of each other ! I froze .
My hands clenched around the box so tightly , my nails dug into my skin .
The sting didnt matter , though nothing hurt more than seeing this .
After everything Id done for Edgar , after sacrificing so much to save him when his life was on the line , this was how he repaid me ? And Grace .
The same woman Edgar had introduced to me as his cousin on our wedding day !! What the hell is going on here !? I burst into the room , slamming the door open so hard it echoed .
Edgar jumped back , and Grace scrambled to fix her clothes , her face a mix of shock and guilt .
So this is how youve been spending my money ? I asked , my voice cold and sharp .
Edgars nervous expression quickly shifted to one of indifference .
He shrugged , almost casually , like he didnt have a care in the world .
Guess its good you found out now , Sharon , Saves me from lying to you any longer .
I never loved your His words hit me like a punch to the gut , but I refused to cry .
Instead , I threw the box at his feet .
The watch tumbled out , landing among the lunch Id brought for him .
Grace squealed as some of the food splattered onto her designer shoes .
Edgar immediately moved to shield her , which only made my blood boil more .
Whats wrong with you !? Edgar barked , glaring at me .
I smirked , crossing my arms as I turned my attention to Grace .
Long time no see , Grace .
Whats it been ? A year ? Two ? I guess its been long enough for you to forget your morals X Sharon , dont start , Edgar snapped .
Oh , Im just calling it like I see it I said , my tone dripping with sarcasm .
What was that whole cousin act about , huh ? Covering for your affair ? Nice touch .
% Watch your mouth , Sharon , Edgar wamed , his jaw tight Or what ? I shot back .
Youll slap me ? Cheat on me again ? % Before he could respond , Grace stepped in , her voice soft and sickly sweet .
Edgar , maybe you should calm down .
Shes upset , understandably so .
I laughed bitterly .
Upset doesnt even begin to cover it.
But you know what ? If you dont love me , lets end this .
Divorce me .
That way .
you and your cousin can live happily ever after Grace is my cousin , Edgar snapped , his voice defensive and almost pathetic .
Sure she is , I said , rolling my eyes .
Youre both disgusting .
Without warning , Edgars hand shot out and slapped me across the face .
The sting was sharp , and I could taste blood at the corner of my mouth .
I stumbled slightly , but I caught myself .
Out of the corner of my eye , I saw Grace smirking .
She was enjoying this.X Watch your tone , Sharon , Edgar growled .
Youve gotten too comfortable .
You need to be put in your place .
l I steadied myself and forced a smile , even though every part of me wanted to scream .
You think youve been spoiling me ? Thats hilarious , Edgar .
Youve been living off my money this whole time .
Grace gently touched his arm , her tone fake and syrupy .
Edgar , dont .
Youve been too hard on her already .
Look , shes scared .

Because once Im gone , youre not getting a dime from me .
Neither of you are Without waiting for a response , I tumed and walked out .
The room felt suffocating , and I couldnt stand being there another second .

But I wasnt going to let this destroy me .
