When she trailed off, I frowned and asked, "That he what?"
Taking a sigh, she continued, "He still hopes you can forgive him. He thinks it's a mistake any man could make, and that it shouldn’t be enough throwing away all the years you’ve been together."

Just earlier, when I heard them snuggling at each other, I wanted to record them and expose him, letting the whole world see what kind of man he really was.
But I knew I couldn’t. His family was powerful. If I made a scandal out of this, his parents wouldn’t let me walk away unscathed. Confronting him head-on head-on wouldn’t bring him down—it would only destroy me in the end.
But I wouldn't let that happen. I needed to make him understand what betrayal really felt like.
