At three in the morning, I stare at the unknown transaction record on my phone screen, my fingertips turning cold. The record is for a payment of 2980 dollars, made for an executive suite at the Wisteria. The time of payment was 8:00 pm last night. My husband, Tristan Griffin, is a detective. He was on the night shift last night. I clutch my phone, my knuckles turning white as I text Tristan, "I just saw your credit card bill for a hotel stay last night. What's up with that?" His reply is instant. "Our team had to work overtime at the last minute, so they put us up at the hotel. I forgot to tell you about it." I scan the text and sputter. The Wisteria is located in the western region of the city, which is on the other end from where his squad is stationed. I don't press him for more details and click on the bank app on my phone. Having found the vendor's address through the payment record, I sent it to my best friend, Rowena Sheffield, who works as a private detective. She replies instantly with an "OK" emoji and follows up with, "Give me a second. I'll find out everything you want in a jiffy!"

Receipts of Infidelity Chapter 8
Someone went to the orphanage to look into Lara's records and discovered that she'd reached maturity a long time ago. Not only had she been faking her age, she'd also strung several men along simultaneously.When Tristan learned the truth, he hit his head on the wall in a maniacal fit until blood trickled down his forehead.I heard all this from Anna while we were en route to the courthouse to finalize the divorce. She sighed. "I guess no wicked deed goes unpunished."I stared out the car window at the passing scenery, a sudden hollowness gripping me. What I felt was not quite satisfaction, but it wasn't sadness, either. It simply felt like a five-year-long rain had finally stopped.I saw Tristan again at the courthouse entrance. He was dressed in prison attire and handcuffed, with two police officers escorting him to finalize the divorce. His hair had been cropped short, and his face was still covered in bruises that had yet to fade, accentuating his murky eyes.As he signed the

Tristan's eyes widened. He looked like someone had reached into his chest and grabbed his heart in an iron grip. He stared at the empty ring box, the strong column of his throat bobbing several times before he gritted out, "What did you say?""I said, I threw it away." I shoved my stuff into my purse and zipped it up loudly. "Just like what I did to those empty promises you made."Lara suddenly screeched, "She's lying to you, Tris! She's just saying this to spite you!"She tried to grab Tristan's arm, but he shook her off. Frost covered his eyes as he leveled a hard look at me. "Say that again, Genevieve.""How many times do I have to repeat myself?" The corner of my mouth twitched into a smirk. "Are you trying to tell me the loss of that ring hurts you more than when you cheated on me?"Tristan shot to his feet, the chair scraping against the floor with a piercing shriek. The other customers threw curious looks at him, but he was oblivious to them as he clenched his fists tightly

Three days later, Tristan reached out to me on his own accord and asked that we meet up at a cafe. His eyes were bloodshot, and his jaw and chin were gray with stubble. He looked drained."Let's talk, Gen." Tristan slid a card across the table toward me. "There's 500 thousand dollars in this card. It's yours for now. Can we circle back on the divorce at a later time?"I didn't touch the card. "How's Lara?"Tristan's eyes flickered. "She's fine, just a little emotional…""I think you mean pregnant." I raised the cup of coffee to my lips, my fingertips running cold for some reason. "Rowena found her prenatal check-up record from last week."Tristan's expression froze. He looked like he'd been punched hard in the face. A long pause later, he finally gritted out, "I know I hurt and betrayed you, Gen, but the child is innocent—""The child?" I laughed, tears nearly spilled down my cheeks. "And what about me? What about the last five years I spent married to you? "Tell me, Tristan. D

Tristan was summoned to the courthouse. When he got my phone call, he sounded annoyed as usual, but it wasn't until he saw Anna standing beside me that his expression darkened."Are you serious, Genevieve?" He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The top two buttons of his police uniform were undone as if to allow him to breathe through his rage. "You're going to destroy me over something this trivial?"Before I could speak, a staccato of frantic footsteps rang out from behind me.Lara had tagged along without any of us noticing her. In her hand was a lunch box, and tears sprang to her eyes when she spotted us having a stand-off. "Tris, maybe I shouldn't be here…"Tristan immediately turned to wrap an arm around her shoulder, his tone softening. "This has nothing to do with you. Go stand by the side."His protective, loving gesture branded my heart like a third-degree burn. I pulled out the printed divorce papers from my purse and threw them on the marble

Lara's tears spilled down her cheeks without warning, the large, pearl-like beads dripping from her jaw and onto the backs of her hands. Her slender shoulders trembled."Mrs. Griffin, I promise this isn't what you think it is…" she choked out in between sobs. "Tris told me he had a mission he neede

"Test you?" I watched as Tristan spun and left with another woman in his arms, my voice shaking with anger. "You were the one who tested me first! I never made you do anything, did I? Did I hold a gun to your head and force you to cheat on me or lie to me?"You should have known that I, Genevieve

The compound at the precinct entrance was jam-packed with cars. I'd only just parked the car when I saw Tristan leaving through the doors, his tall and straight silhouette clad in the standard-issue police uniform. However, he looked grim. It was obvious he'd seen me, for his brows furrowed as he
