“Suite 1204. He’s been there for an hour.”The text from the unknown number glowed on my screen. Below it was a grainy photo from a hotel lobby. Jace’s back, in his favorite suit with a blonde woman’s hand in his.I looked away from the picture and took a deep breath before dialing his number.He picked on the third ring.“Where are you? The planner is asking about the wine for tonight. Your guests will be here any minute.” I tried not to sound as hoping and confused my heart was.It's our wedding eve, and I've been with Jace for years now to know he'd never betray me, even if not for my sake then for Lily's.There was shuffling on his end before he replied in a low, almost whispering tone. “I'm in a meeting, babe. Being on my phone is the one thing I shouldn't be doing. Tell her the Chateau Blanc. See you at seven.”At first I didn't think deeply about it when he said he had a meeting with some investors. Whoever goes out for a meeting the night before his wedding. But I hadn't thoug

“What are you doing?”“What does it look like?”I turned and walked out slamming the door with enough force behind me that everyone walking the hallway stopped to see what was going on.I made it to the sidewalk outside the hotel before my legs began to shake again. I stumbled into the first alley I saw, leaned against the cold brick, and threw up the little I had for dinner.When there was nothing left, I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, but the shaking got worse.What am I going to do?I blinked the tears away, sniffling. Jace was my everything. How could I be so stupid. Believing his business trips and meetings even on unusual days?!I should've seen it before it all got to this.In a few hours I would've been walking down the aisle with a chronic cheat, a liar, a man who only saw his wife and kid as an asset. I should've known when he flaunted us whenever a talk about his stepbrother came to us. Taunting him for not having a child yet. I should've known when he got angry b

I woke to a harsh string of sunlight on my face. Streaming through a window I didn't recognize, falling across a bed that wasn't mine, and I lay there for one horrible, suspended moment with my brain struggling to catch up to my body.What happened…?I shut my eyes and pinched my nose bridge as I winced from the brewing headache.How much did I drink to feel this shitty? I threw my head back in regret as I breathed through the nausea, and looked down at myself. I was still in last night's wrinkled, rumpled clothes. But I had them on. All of them, from what I could tell. I shifted carefully, rubbing my thighs together to check for pain, and felt nothing but the dull ache of too much tequila and the hollow thud of my own heartbeat.There was no soreness, no tenderness. Nothing that suggested we'd done more than kiss like desperate teenagers in that dark hallway.Oh Eva!!Why did you drink so much? I berated myself. I was to be married, I have a child, what would people think of me when

Three hours later, I stood outside the wedding venue in a dress I'd borrowed from Chloe's closet. It was sleek, black, and entirely inappropriate for a wedding guest or even the bride who was exceptionally late. Fortunately Dan was sweet enough to send us the footage from the hallway to the room Jace and his whore booked. The walls are thin to a fault so besides the footage of them shoving their tongues down each other's throat before they even made it to the room, there was also a recording of what he had said and the back and forth moans.Chloe stood on one side of me, and our friend Mira on the other. Mira ran a local blog about city gossip since her senior year in high school. Since she couldn't bag a job as a journalist she decided to take the blog seriously, and the gleam in her eye told me she already knew exactly what kind of story this was about to become."You sure about this?" Mira asked quietly."I've never been more sure of anything. Jace will pay for ruining my life."T

I was seething. Hate and anger enveloped me, I felt my temperature rise.He got what he deserved. That reputation he's been trying so hard to manage, that reputation he was willing to sacrifice his daughter for, he deserved all of it going down the sewer."Eva! Eva, stop right now!"I kept walking, ignoring his yells and curses as I listened to whatever Mira and Chloe were discussing about it. "You think you're so clever?" He was closer now, his footsteps hard on the pavement behind us. "You think you just ruined everything and there won't be consequences? My stepbrother was supposed to be here. He was supposed to see—"I handed Lily to Mira. “Please take her to the car.” Mira nodded and grabbed Lily, walking away.I then turned slowly to face the bastard. The look on his face almost made me laugh. He wasn't heartbroken, Jace wasn't devastated that his wedding isn’t happening or that I'm leaving him. He was furious because his performance had been interrupted."Your stepbrother," I r

Chloe appeared at my side before I could say another word to him, her hand finding my elbow with a grip that said she'd let me have my moment but now it was over."We've got a problem," she murmured close to my ear, her voice low enough that only I could hear. “Car won't start. Something with the battery, I think. I've been trying to call the technician but his line isn't going through.”I blinked at her, the fog in my brain struggling to shift from Dante to the problem at hand. “What?”“Car. Won't. Start.” She jerked her head toward the street where Mira was already standing by the hood, looking at her phone with growing impatience while Lily slept against her shoulder. "I'll have to go get him."Dante cleared his throat. “I can drop you off.”I turned back to face him, my heart stuttering at how close he'd moved without me noticing. “No. That's—no. Thank you, but we're fine. We'll just call a taxi.”“Eva.” I should probably ask him to stop calling my name like that. “You have a slee

He must have followed us. Or guessed. Or maybe he'd been circling the block, waiting for me to return, and found me here instead.It didn't matter.I just hope he didn't see Dante leave, or this would be a whole new problem. Jace wouldn't let the fact that I drove in another's car go.I slammed the door, my fingers fumbling for the lock, and got it turned a second before his knocks came.“Eva!” He yelled, slamming his fists into the door, for a second I thought he would break the door. “Eva! Open the fucking door!”I pressed my back against the wood, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat.“Go home, Jace. We have nothing to talk about. If you keep this on I'll have no choice but to call the cops.”His fist hit the door again, harder this time. “Well, let's talk about Lily!.”“You’ll see her when I want you to see her. I can't have my daughter live with a man that sleeps with everything in skirt, Jace. I can't have her grow up thinking it's okay.” I sighed. He's crazy

I didn't answer, I really couldn't answer. Because what was there to say? Yes, I kissed a stranger in a bar hallway twelve hours before my wedding . Yes, I let him drive me home and carry my sleeping daughter to the couch while my heart pounded like a teenager's who just had her first kiss.Half measures had never been my strength if we're being honest, but that's not the point. What I did was wrong and it's never happening again. Chloe can have a field day just this one. But she seemed to sense that I'd reached my limit for interrogation. She squeezed my shoulder once, then busied herself making tea in the small kitchenette.The tea was chamomile, because Chloe knew me too well. I wrapped my hands around the warm mug and let the heat seep into my fingers while she sat across from me on the floor, her back against the couch, her own mug cradled against her chest.“We'll figure it out,” she said quietly. “Jace is an idiot, seriously don't let him get to you.” She rolled her eyes. “Eve

I was up before Lily, which was saying something. She'd inherited Jace's ability to sleep through anything, including the sound of her mother tossing and turning until three in the morning. I'd spent those dark hours staring at the ceiling, replaying every text, every word, every stupid decision that had led me to agree to coffee with a man I barely knew.By seven in the morning, I had Lily dressed, fed, and her backpack packed. Her hair was in two braids and she wouldn't stop bouncing on the couch, asking if daddy will pick her up from school today.Well, he'll have to pry her from my cold dead hands.I didn't have the heart to tell her that Jace probably wouldn't show up for pickup like he's been promising for weeks. Some disappointments were still waiting around the corner.But then, he might.Jace was unpredictable, and after what happened yesterday, the chances of him appearing at school is up by seventy.“I don't think daddy will come today, baby. Just let the school bus pick yo

“It could be something really important, urgent.” Chloe squeezed my arm.I wasn’t angry about it…honestly I wasn't. Yes it's…what's the word? Sad? Disappointing? It was sad, but I never made a big deal out of it so for me it wasn't.But I was looking forward to it since I had nothing else to do today, and Chloe noticed. So when she announced that we were getting ice cream whether I liked it or not, I didn't argue. Maybe sugar would help, fresh air, at least I get to move around, and that was the distraction I needed that made me accept the meet up in the first place.The ice cream shop was two blocks from the apartment, a tiny pastel-colored building that had been there since I could remember. Chloe ordered vanilla with sprinkles and chocolate sauce, and I got vanilla and white chocolate chips in a cup.“You're doing that thing again,” she said, licking her spoon.“What thing?”“What are you calculating, I'm the one paying, it's my treat.”I stabbed my spoon into the ice cream. “I'm n
