The Truth Behind My Betrayal

Summary

I broke up with my boyfriend the year he was the most broke.

A year later, he was a star, married to a girl prettier and more vibrant than I ever was.

During a TV special, the host asked him, "You've swept the awards at such a young age. Do you have any regrets?"

He pulled his wife, Stella, closer, his arm around her waist.

“I’d just like to know,” he said, his voice smooth as silk, “how she’s doing now. After we broke up.”

The host paused. “She’s… not doing well at all.”

A slow, satisfied smile spread across Oren Pearce’s face. “Good. That sets my mind at ease.”
