Chapter 1
My husband has been a different person lately.
He suddenly started pinching the fat on his waist in the mirror and counting grains of rice at meals.
Even more unusually, he spent a fortune on a top-tier gym membership.
He used to slump on the sofa after work. Now, rain or shine, he grabs his bag the moment he’s through the door and heads straight for the gym.
Something was definitely wrong.
While he was in the shower, I felt around in his gym bag.
The canvas pocket smelled of sweat. My fingers reached inside and touched a small, hard, square box.
My heart sank.
I pulled it out. It was a box of condoms.
With trembling hands, I pried open the box.
The foil packets were neatly arranged inside.
My gaze swept over them and froze.
One, two…
Any last flicker of hope was extinguished.
Two were missing from the box.
My fallopian tubes are severely blocked, so I can’t conceive naturally.
We never use condoms.
He had used them.
With whom?
A buzzing filled my head. My body felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over me, chilling me from head to toe.
