Grant played the good husband for a while,
then a call from Star took him away.
He lied, saying there was an emergency at
the company.
But I knew he had a special ringtone for Star.
After he left, I opened my phone, and Star
had a new post.
“Skipping work, on a date with my cold-
hearted boss!”
The picture showed Star in the passenger
seat, smiling at the camera.
I refreshed the page. A comment appeared.
“I can skip work every day if you want.
“9
Everyone knows the CEO of Caldwell Corp is
a workaholic.
But no one knows that his every outing during
work hours was to be with Star.
I liked the post.
A second later, I got a message from Star.
“Susan, you’re secretly following me! I’m
borrowing your husband for a while, you won’t
mind, right?”
She sent another message when I didn’t reply.
A screenshot of a hotel check–in. Tonight.
I replied, “No, go ahead.”
It was dark when my IV finished.
I slowly got out of bed to check out.
Star burst in.
“Susan, don’t do anything rash! It’s all my
fault. I’ll stay away from Grant.”
I stared at the emotional Star. “What are you
doing?”
Before I could finish, she grabbed my shirt.
“Susan Miller, since you don’t mind me
borrowing your husband, do me a favor.”
Her eyes were dark. Before I could react she
<
cut her finger with a knife and collapsed
dramatically.
I was stunned.
As Star screamed and cried, Grant ran in.
Seeing the blood, he kicked my belly.
“Susan Miller, you’re so vicious, why don’t
you just die!”
My abdomen throbbed; I bled heavily.
Grant’s eyes widened. “You… you had a
miscarriage…”
