A Misdirected Love Letter Destroyed My MarriageChapter 1

At the class reunion, someone asked my husband, "Who was your secret crush back in high school?"

Carter Delgado glanced at me briefly, then turned to the beauty queen sitting beside him. "Mia."

Mia Prescott's eyes went wide with shock.

"Then why did you ignore the love letter I wrote you?"

Carter froze.

"I thought you liked Brendan Lawrence."

One question led to another, and piece by piece, the misunderstanding from all those years ago unraveled.

Mia's love letter had ended up in the wrong bag.

That single mistake had kept them apart.

Mia's eyes turned red in an instant, and Carter's face filled with stunned regret.

The people around us started making snide remarks.

"Come on, how is that dramatic? A love letter that just happened to end up in the wrong bag? You don't think... someone might have switched it on purpose?"

The air went dead.

Every pair of eyes in the room turned to me.

Most of our classmates had no idea that Carter and I had been married for five years.

All they remembered was that I was the ugly duckling who'd shamelessly chased after Carter Delgado back in the day.

I turned to look at him.
