Chapter 2 First thing I did when I got home was tear apart my closet. Just as I suspected-half my stuff was missing. 1 1 mostly used this room to store expensive gowns and pieces that couldn't be folded. Since I'd been playing housewife, I rarely wore them, so I hardly ever came in here anymore. Caleb always "organized" this space for me. At first glance, everything looked normal, but all the pieces that meant something to me were all gone. pulled up the security footage, and what I found in this tiny 500-square-foot space was absolutely mind-blowing. May 7th: First time they'd snuck in here together, trying on my clothes in front of the mirror. Less "trying on" and more "foreplay with props." Absolutely disgusting. August 29th: He'd canceled our carefully planned anniversary date, then spent the entire night in here on the phone with Aria, whispering sweet nothings. October 5th: While I was away on business, they'd had sex on top of my clothes. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up everything in my stomach. The footage kept playing automatically, and I watched Caleb approach my safe. My heart dropped. After he took out the bracelet he'd given me, his eyes landed on a document inside. A cold dread washed over me. That was the property deed my mother had given me-the last thing she'd left me in this world before she died. And in the footage, I watched my husband hand it over to his mistress. I stumbled back into the closet and grabbed the document from the safe. Same content, but no official seal. This one was FAKE. Because I'd trusted Caleb completely, I'd never bothered to examine it closely. I collapsed on the floor, ice-cold, listening to Caleb's voice through the speakers: "Don't worry, baby. Even if I can't make you official, I'm not going to let you suffer." Aria played coy: "Caleb, this is way too much. I can't accept-" Then a voice I never expected cut through: "Oh girl, just take it! I went through all the trouble of getting Sloane out of the house so Caleb could surprise you properly!" "I did all this work, so you better save me a good seat at the wedding!" Watching my best friend walk into my closet, I felt my blood turn to ice. I suddenly remembered that day-Jessica had randomly asked me to drive across town to get some specialty pastries from this tiny shop. I'd waited in line for three hours, and my heels had given me blisters so bad I could barely walk. I was shaking with rage. Not only was Caleb cheating, but my own best friend had betrayed me too! In the footage, Caleb pulled Aria close, speaking in that gentle tone I thought was reserved for me: "What's mine is yours, babe. Don't be formal with me." yours" The irony was eating me alive. In that moment, I wanted nothing more than to storm over there and bitch-slap every single one of them. Make these assholes open their eyes and see exactly whose stuff they were messing with. Just then, a friend request notification popped up on my phone.
