I had loved her deeply, and I couldn’t let go so easily.
“Sarah, you’d never cheat on me like those women on TV, right?”
Sarah panicked, quickly climbing onto my lap, cupping my face, swearing to the heavens.
“I would never betray you, Michael. If I ever did, may I be doomed to a lifetime of loneliness and sorrow, never to bear children…”
“I believe you.”
For a moment, I thought she had changed her mind.
But when she brought me a glass of milk laced with a heavy dose of sleeping pills, my heart shattered completely.
My hands trembled as I gripped the cup, my fingertips turning red.
But Sarah didn’t notice—she was too busy with her phone.
I pretended to drink, flushing it down the toilet instead.
When she saw me washing the glass, she sighed with relief.
After tucking me in as if I were a child, she slipped out quietly.
I followed her.
At the top of the stairs, she rushed straight into Daniel’s arms. They kissed passionately, unwilling to let go.
My eyes stung so sharply I couldn’t even keep them open.
Sarah, you deceived me so cruelly. How could one person toy with two men at once?
I didn’t know how I made it back to the couch. From upstairs came the violent creaking of a bed.
