Cheating

On Christmas Day, I put on a reindeer-themed lingerie set, ready to spend an unforgettable night with my CEO boyfriend. Noah Levine eagerly unbuttons my top, kissing my body with feverish intensity. Just then, his phone rings. He answers impatiently. "What is it?" A sweet voice comes through from the other end, speaking in Farylian. "Noah, what time are you coming tonight? I have a Christmas present for you." Hearing those words, my eyes fly wide open. That woman is my younger sister, Heidi Miller. Noah's expression turns serious, like he's handling a work call. He responds in Farylian. "What present?" The voice on the other end laughs softly. "The present is me, wrapped head to toe in red ribbon. Come over and help me unwrap it. I can't wait anymore." That night, Noah doesn't touch me. He helps me dress, kissing my cheek with reluctance. "Work call. Something urgent at the company I need to handle. We'll pick this up another time. "Remember to wear this outfit next time, though. It's very enticing." His lie sounds calm and natural. He clearly assumes I don't understand, but I know Farylian. I hear everything crystal clear. I pretend to nod calmly. After he leaves, I accept the company's overseas assignment. In three days, I'll vanish completely from his world.

Chapter 1
When Noah Levine came back, Christmas had already passed. I'd thrown that reindeer lingerie into a street trash bin."Babe, I left in such a rush last night that I forgot to give you your Christmas present."He pulled out a sapphire necklace and swept my hair aside to fasten it around my neck. Because he leaned in so close, I could clearly see the red marks on his neck and smell the sickly sweet perfume that obviously wasn't his.Knowing the scent belonged to my own sister made my stomach turn.I grabbed Noah's hand. "You don't need to put it on me. Just leave it on the table."Hearing the coldness in my tone, Noah pinched my cheek. "What's wrong? Are you still mad that we didn't finish what we started last night?"I looked up at him coldly and said quietly, "No. I'm just curious why you suddenly left last night, and why you suddenly started speaking Farylian."Noah smiled. "It's just a client from Farylia. You know my clients are all over the world."As if trying to dodge the

At the banquet, our two families discussed the wedding details enthusiastically.Mom looked excited. "Why don't we have it at Bapo Beach? Erin loves the ocean."Dad chimed in. "That's right. Erin dreamed about going there when she was little. Having her wedding there would be so romantic."They all looked at me expectantly, and Noah nodded along.Just then, Heidi said unhappily, "But I think Bapo is too hot. We should go to Cyrul instead. The climate there is so much nicer...""Heidi." Mom shot her a stern look. "This is your sister's wedding. Everything should be up to her."The whole family turned to look at me, seemingly waiting for my decision.I was about to speak when Noah grabbed my hand. "Erin, let's have the wedding in Cyrul. I'll take you to Bapo for the honeymoon instead."Mom and Dad both froze, clearly not expecting him to go against me. I looked into his unfathomable eyes and smiled gently."What if I say no?"His brow furrowed slightly, then he smiled and raise

Toward the end of the banquet, I started feeling unwell and decided to leave early. Noah immediately said he'd take me home, but Heidi blocked our path.She seemed drunk, falling into Noah's arms and whining, "Noah, can you take me home instead?""That's enough!" Mom yanked Heidi back."Your sister is sick. As her fiance, of course he needs to take her to the hospital."Noah nodded and pulled me toward the exit. But while driving, he was clearly distracted, running several red lights.I leaned wearily against the window, feeling nothing anymore. Suddenly, his phone screen lit up. He glanced at it, and the car screeched to an abrupt stop.I lurched forward without warning, crying out in pain. But Noah didn't even look at me. He tossed the car keys into my lap."Erin, go to the hospital yourself today. Something urgent came up at the company. I have to go."Before I could say anything, he'd already flagged down a cab and left. I had a pretty good guess what was happening. Fightin

When I woke up again, Noah was gripping my hand tightly. His eyes were bloodshot, like he was about to cry."Erin, you scared me to death. I thought I was going to lose you."He pulled me into a tight embrace, his voice choking. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone on the side of the road. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."Thank God you're okay. I really wouldn't know how to go on living if something happened to you..."He kissed my hair, his voice still trembling with lingering fear. But I only felt the irony of it all.I pushed him away coldly. "You're hurting me."Noah immediately let go and apologized.After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke. "Why were you in a car accident on Second Street? That's nowhere near the hospital.""A friend called me at the last minute. He lives nearby."I hated lies, yet here I was, lying with such ease.Noah's brow furrowed immediately, his tone tinged with jealousy. "What friend? Who would ask you to go out while you were running a feve

Third Person Point-Of-View"Where is she? Where did the patient go?"Noah seized a passing nurse and demanded sharply."Mr. Levine, the patient completed her discharge paperwork early this morning. She left hours ago."Noah checked his phone. The messages he'd sent still showed no response. Just as his brow furrowed in worry, Erin's parents called."Noah, where are you and Erin? The plane takes off in an hour."Noah suppressed his rising anxiety, but his voice still trembled slightly. "Erin is missing.""What? But today is her wedding! How could she just disappear?"Noah wanted to ask the same question. This was the day Erin had been waiting for so long. Not only was she nowhere to be found, but she wasn't even responding to his messages.After hanging up, he immediately had the hospital pull the security footage. Before long, Erin's family rushed over. Her mother, Eliana Cromwell, grabbed Noah frantically."Noah, did you two have a fight? Did you do something to upset her?"

Third Person Point-Of-ViewEliana's eyes were red as she shouted at him. "Noah! Erin treated you so well and you dared to cheat on her!"And with her own sister! You're both scum. I'm going to make you pay for this today!"While Noah stood frozen, he watched Wesley storm into the room in front of everyone and kick Heidi in the corner."You ungrateful wretch! Your sister always gave you the best of everything growing up. And you? You dared to steal her man!"Heidi ended up black and blue. She sobbed and screamed, "Dad, Mom, it's not like that! You've got it all wrong!""Wrong?" Eliana laughed bitterly. She pulled a letter from her pocket and read it aloud in front of everyone."Mom, Noah and Heidi are together. He's only marrying me to repay the debt he owes me from years ago. But they're delusional if they think I'd ever accept a secondhand, filthy man."Mom, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, but don't worry. I'll live well. Far better than I ever would be married

Erin's Point-Of-ViewI'd been in Alryne for two weeks now. It was freezing here. Even my breath could freeze instantly in the air.Only five of us had been sent on this research assignment. The team leader couldn't help but ask, "If I remember right, you're from headquarters, aren't you? Great environment, high salary. Why would you throw that away to come here?"I looked down and smiled softly. At first, maybe I'd just been acting out of spite, wanting to escape Noah. But after two weeks here, I discovered his influence over me wasn't as strong as I'd thought.Working together through extreme weather, celebrating our successful geological surveys, it all gradually pushed him out of my mind.A few days ago, I finally worked up the courage to call my parents. Surprisingly, they were very calm.They told me that on the day I left, they'd flown to Bapo and personally canceled the wedding. In front of everyone, they'd exposed Noah and Heidi's affair and announced they no longer ackno

I immediately pushed Noah aside and rushed to the monitoring equipment, then started putting on my protective gear."You all stay up here. I'm going down.""What?""No way!"Noah and my teammates' voices rang out in unison.I patted my teammate's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, I can do this. It's the vice captain's responsibility."With that, I began preparing to descend. Just then, Noah spread his arms wide and blocked my path. This move completely ignited my fury."Noah, move.""No. I absolutely won't let you go down there to die!"I lunged forward and grabbed his collar, my voice ice cold. "Noah, what right do you have to say that to me?""They don't want me to go because we're teammates who've been through hell together. And you? You're just a mistake I made!"Get lost. I don't have time to waste on you."With that, I kicked his ankle. Noah immediately dropped to his knees on the ice in pain. He had an old injury there, one I'd bandaged myself.I immediately jump

Third Person Point-Of-View"Why is the vice captain in such a hurry? Do you think they're really...""Definitely! Last time when the captain risked his life to save the vice captain, the way she looked at him completely changed!""The captain too. He's cold to everyone else, but he's willing to talk more with the vice captain."Noah froze in place, his voice shaking badly. "What... What are you saying?"Were they saying Erin had fallen for someone else?No. Absolutely impossible. They'd barely been apart!He practically ran to Sean's hospital room in a panic. Through the glass window, he saw Erin covering her face. She seemed to be crying.Noah could barely stay on his feet. He and Erin had been together for so long, yet he'd never seen her shed a single tear. But now she was crying over another man?Noah couldn't take it anymore. He kicked the door open and stormed in, grabbing Erin and dragging her into his arms. "Come back with me!"Erin struggled violently, biting down ha
