The Illusion of Love: A Calculated Departure

Summary

In the fifth year of my marriage to Liam Hayes, his unattainable first love, Mia Sullivan, returned.

Cracks slowly began to appear in our marriage.

Liam started standing me up from time to time.

The first time was the day I won a design award. Liam said he wanted to celebrate with me.

But Mia had just returned, and one phone call from her pulled him away.

The second time was my birthday. The candles were lit, but before I could make a wish,

Mia called and pulled him away again.

The third time was Valentine's Day evening.
