The day my girlfriend and I were supposed to get our marriage license, she suddenly disappeared. That night, I accidentally came across a social media post she had forgotten to hide from me. "From twenty to twenty-eight. We finally made it." Attached was a photo of two marriage certificates. In the wedding photo, she leaned against a man I had never seen before, smiling with effortless joy. Furious, I opened the comments, ready to confront her. Then, I saw a message from my best friend. "Congratulations to the lovebirds. After everything you've been through, you finally made it." My chest tightened. With shaking hands, I called him. After a long silence, he finally confessed. "Yeah. They've been together for eight years. Everyone in our circle knew. We weren't trying to hurt you. We just thought you'd take it badly and make a scene. "Oliver and Fiona belong together. It wasn't easy for them to make it this far. We're all friends here. Just be the bigger person." Tears hit the floor like ice, yet they burned a hole straight through my heart. Only then did I realize that during the twelve years Fiona Frost and I had been together, she had spent eight of them loving another man. Everyone knew. Everyone except me.

The Last to Know Chapter 10 A New Beginning
The police presented Fiona with a stack of evidence along with the arrest warrants.She stared at the battered, disheveled Oliver, trembling with rage and disbelief. She had been deceived. The liar had never been me. It had been Oliver.My mother really was gone. Oliver and Sean had driven her to her death together. Then, they had taken her remains and still had the nerve to accuse me of framing them.When Fiona refused to believe me, how hopeless had I felt? She had wronged me.In the end, Oliver and Sean were led away in handcuffs.As they passed me, Sean, who had always been joking around, broke down in tears."Gavin, I'm sorry. You treated me like a real friend, but I was jealous of you all along. I kept competing with you behind your back, helped outsiders hurt you, and even caused the death of Ms. Sutton, who was always so good to me. I'm sorry…"I watched the two of them being escorted away without a word.What was the point of apologizing now? My mother was gone.The o
The Last to Know Chapter 9 The Truth Comes Out
It was a video of Oliver hanging out with a bunch of his friends.He lounged on the couch with a cigarette between his fingers, rolling his eyes as he sneered. "Sean, that idiot, actually asked me to lend him money to buy a car. He really thinks he's somebody."I only kept him around to get Gavin to spill his secrets. Besides, he's broke and ugly. Standing next to him just makes me look more successful. Him? My friend? As if."And Fiona's best friend is poor and trashy. She's destined to spend her whole life following other people around."Then, there's Fiona's brother. Shameless freeloader. All he does is mooch off his sister. He's a complete parasite. Fiona's money is my money. What right does he have to spend it? Once we're married, I'll throw him out of the house."Oliver had insulted every single person in his circle.The video ended with his shrill, unhinged screaming.The people who had been defending Oliver just moments ago all wore expressions as dark as thunder.None
The Last to Know Chapter 8 The Wedding Gift
After that day, Fiona never came to see me again.Even the money she sent for my medical bills was intercepted by Oliver.Without money, I was moved from a VIP room to a regular ward. Then, from a regular ward to a shared room.The conditions were awful, and the only medication I received was the bare minimum. My recovery became slow and painful.A month later, I had spent my last dollar and had no choice but to leave the hospital.As my fingers brushed over the long, dark scar across my chest, a tidal wave of hatred nearly swallowed me whole.The first thing I did after being discharged was go to the police station. "I'd like to report a crime. Someone stole my mother's body."The police acted quickly. In less than a day, they traced where it had gone using the hospital's security footage.The truth had only taken a few taps on a keyboard to uncover. Yet Fiona had believed Oliver based on nothing but his word. How pathetic.Following the surveillance footage, the police concl
The Last to Know Chapter 7 Nothing Left to Lose
After apologizing to the hospital director, Fiona hung up with a grim expression. She looked at me with utter disappointment."Gavin, I barely recognize you anymore. When did you become so vicious? You actually came up with the idea of having Ms. Sutton fake her death just to frame Oliver."And pretending someone died? Weren't you afraid you'd tempt fate and end up getting your own mother killed?"Out of the corner of his eye, Oliver looked at me, his lips curling into the smug smile of a victor.Sean stood there with his arms crossed, looking just as pleased with himself.At that moment, it no longer mattered whether I proved Oliver wrong or convinced Fiona to believe me.There was only one thing I wanted to know. Where was my mother's body?Her attending physician, Owen, was a good doctor with integrity. There was no way Oliver or Sean could have bribed him.If Owen said my mother had died, then she was truly gone. But the hospital could not find her body.I glared at Sean a
