Faking Death to Escape - My Ex Learns the TruthChapter 1

At three in the morning, in the dissection room.

I was about to prepare pathological slices from a cadaver when the medical pod issued a vibration anomaly alert.

Checking the surveillance feed on my phone, I saw my husband, Giovanni, passionately entangled with Lianna inside the pod.

Lianna laughed boldly. "Doing this right under your wife’s nose... It's so thrilling!"
