   Five months later"I don't think that I can wear this to the altar" I complained for the hundredth time.I was inside one of the biggest hotels in the whole world, preparing for our wedding that we've been planning for months. A makeup artist was farding my face and I was putting on a very beautiful, long, white gown which Jason bought for $13,000,000 and it was the reason why I was complaining."Mrs wife-in-advance" Cynthia who was sitting beside me said "Your husband-in-advance just loves you too much and he wants to spoil you"I sighed heavily and said "This gown is going to break the record""Absolutely, it's the most expensive wedding gown ever""Done" the makeup artist said and dropped his brush "You look incredible"I smiled at him and said "Thanks""Wow" Cynthia said with her mouth widely opened and her eyes as big as two small bouncing balls "You..."I cut her off by raising my hand in

"It's time!" Cynthia screamed and entered the roomI sighed and looked at Judith who was smiling at me. She became my parents involuntarily when our parents died some years back and I wondered what my mom would say if she was here today"Judith" I called and my sister looked at me "I missed our parents" her mood changed instantly "I'm thinking about how everything might have been different if our parents are still alive" I said and tried not to cry"I missed them too. Everyday" Judith confession came as a shock to me. Judith have never talked about how she felt about our parents before, at least, not in my presence"I'm not supporting this" Cynthia who was watching both of us said "Today is an happy day and I'm sure that your parents are happy for you.

Jason rushed at me and got hold of my hand before it could make contact with Cynthia's face"What is going on here Lexi?" He asked and I gave him the evil eye"I think I should be asking both of you that question" I went to my table and picked up Jason's phone"Explain this" I said as I handed him his phone with Cynthia's naked picture on the screen"What the f..?" Jason said and instant looked away from his phone "What is this?""What you asked for. The messages are simple and straight forward""What do you mean?

I and Jason woke up late the next  morning and even though we later slept together in the same room last night, something wasn't right this morning. There was something like an invisible wall between us and we treated ourselves like strangers.Jason opened the car door for me as usual but there was nothing like the usual smooching and teasing.I sat down like a robot and picked up my phone which I had forgotten inside the car yesternoonThere were several calls and messages on it, most of it from Cynthia. And when I went through Cynthia messages, all of them meant the same thing 'I didn't do it".I put down my phone as Jason started the car and headed to the office.Later in the day, someone walked into my office and I looked up from the file that I was going through, it was Cynthia. Her eyes were red and she didn't use her usual makeover"Lexi" she called slowly as she stood in front of my table"You can see that I'm busy"

Two weeks laterMy phone ringing tone woke me up on Sunday morning and I sluggishly picked it up without checking the caller. I thought it was Jason."Hello" Judith said alarmedly"Hey Judith" I said sleepily"Have you seen this morning news?"I opened my eyes and slowly sat up on the bed "No" I yawned "I'm just waking up. What is it about?""I will send you a link now. Go and check it out""Okay"She sent me a link about two seconds later and I wondered what was going on. I clicked on the link and saw Jason, my own Jason kissing a woman ferociously on my screen."Aaah" I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. "Jason" I cried "Why!?" The fifteen seconds video was titled "Caught on camera: Three months after Jason's Stokes multi-million wedding to his secretary, Lexi Tyler, he was caught cheating on his wife with an unknown girl" I clicked on the video again and watched it for the second time with a shaky

We slept in separate rooms that night and on the next day which was a Monday, I decided not to go to work because the paparazzi were lurking around our buildingJason headed to his home office when he got back home and I sat in front of the TV to see if any new information was going to come out but none did.Later that night, I was reading through people's comments about our relationship when I came across another information. I clicked the link and saw The unknown girl's identity has been revealed: Her name is Lexi Ryan, who was one of the candidates that was interviewed for the position of Mr Stokes personal assistant about a month ago. Lexi Stokes and Lexi Ryan had fought on that day but no one knew that it was personal."Lexi Ryan!" I growled, got out of my bed and ran to the sitting room where Jason was sleeping.
