Chapter 1

On my third wedding anniversary to Garrett Windsor, I showed up at the hotel in the sheer bikini he'd requested.

But it wasn't Garrett waiting in the room. It was Melissa Lane, his childhood sweetheart.

The room erupted in cruel, mocking laughter.

Melissa poured her glass of red wine over my head.

"How pathetic. You really will do anything he says, won't you?"

"A shame you're blind. You can't even see what a joke you look like right now."

I crouched on the floor, covering myself, enduring their humiliation.

This wasn't the first time, but Garrett always said Melissa was just joking and told me not to take it seriously.

After Melissa and her friends finally got bored and left, I dragged my exhausted body home.

When I arrived, Garrett draped a towel over my shoulders, his voice full of guilt.

"Claire, Melissa used my phone to send you that prank message. I had no idea. I'll make her apologize tomorrow, okay?"

I nodded instinctively, then suddenly saw a flash of light before my eyes.

The next second, I could vaguely make out a message from Melissa on his screen.

"You promised me in bed last night I could do whatever I wanted to her today."
