Happy Birthday, He Cheated
But now I knew—the guy who always put me first, who handed over company shares like it was nothing, could still cheat.
"It's nothing," I said. "Someone called you earlier. I picked up, but they didn't say anything. Local number. Maybe a friend? Here."
I handed him the phone, eyes locked on him.
He took it like it was no big deal. "Probably a wrong number. Don't stress."
But I saw it—that little finger twitch on the screen.
I knew that move.
He was lying.
"Babe, why don't you go rest?" he said. "I just remembered a file at work I forgot to finish."
