My Husband Stranded Me in the Desert to Defend His First Love

Summary

I had booked our flight months ago, eager to return to our favorite place for our anniversary. Before boarding, I was stopped by my husband’s assistant—the woman everyone said he truly loved. She looked tearful and pleaded with me, asking for my ticket. “Please, I have a family emergency. I can’t afford the fare.”

I refused, explaining I’d bought the ticket myself.

Later, Declan questioned me. “Did you know she ended up walking home?” he asked, explaining she was trying to reach her dying mother.

I was confused. “Why would she walk? There’s plenty of transport.”
