Briana was picking a gift for their three-year anniversary when she received Kiley’s text.

Briana was bombarded by more than a dozen photos. Once she processed what she saw, her face drained of color in an instant.

While the photos varied, Maxim and Kiley appeared in each and every one of them.

In the pictures, they were seen hugging, kissing… What remained consistent was the affectionate gaze Maxim directed toward Kiley in those images.

Despite spending three years by Maxim’s side, he had never regarded Briana with the same look.

“Does this look familiar to you?”

Briana felt a headache starting to emerge and instinctively massaged her temple. The house in the pictures did seem recognizable. However, before Briana could draw a conclusion, she received another message from Kiley.

“This is the house you are supposed to live in after you married Maxim. Don’t you recognize it?

“Oops… I almost forgot. Maxim never allowed you to enter it after your wedding night. Do you know why?

“Because Maxim had decorated this house for me. If Norma didn’t butt in on your wedding day, you would never have the chance to enter this house.”

Every word was a stab to Briana’s heart. Briana’s hand started trembling subconsciously as she read the text.

Briana clenched her phone and slowly typed a reply to Kiley.

“Stop sending me these photos. You and Maxim are over.”

“Do you really believe that?

“I’ve been back in the country for two months. Has Maxim ever come home in these two months?

“While he was away from your home, he would meet me in this house every day after work. Do you know what he said about you when we were in bed? He said that you were boring and just like a sex toy.

“What a loser. If I were you, I would kill myself.

“I suggest you leave Maxim before he grows sick of you. Otherwise, things may not end well for you.”
