The Last Light in the Dark
Seven years into our marriage, my husband, Lucas Thorne, is hailed as a legendary astronomer in the field of astronomy. It is no secret that he absolutely adores me, his wife.
He always keeps a polite, distant demeanor with those around him.
Even when his new assistant, Serena Cox, asks for his number, he coldly turns her down.
In the year he proposed to me, he named a star "LAW", which was an acronym for "Lucas Adores Wilma".
Since then, every asteroid he discovers is named with initials that hold a special significance only the two of us know.
To others, they might just be scientific achievements. But to me, they are unspoken love letters.
This goes on until this morning, when I stumble upon an unfamiliar phone. I unlock it easily with my middle name, thinking it's yet another quiet gesture of his love.
But to my horror, I find a string of explicit messages between him and another woman.
The person who was at the receiving end of those messages was none other than… Serena, his assistant.
