The Lover in the Shadows

Summary

I’d been in a secret relationship with my roommate’s CEO cousin for three years.

Today, he hit me with some news.

“My cousin is bringing her boyfriend of three years to meet her parents in a bit.”

Then he clapped me on the back. “Hey, when are you going to bring your little girlfriend around for me to meet?”

I had no idea how to answer him. I mumbled an excuse and escaped to the balcony, dialing his cousin’s number.

She hung up on me. When I turned around, my girlfriend was standing in the doorway, her arm linked with another man’s.

The smile on her face vanished the second she saw me.
