Ten Years of Marriage, Ruined By LiesChapter 1

Everyone said I was the one Mark Hansen had always longed for, his first love.

So when I filed for divorce, they all criticized me, saying I had forgotten our love, our history.

But only I knew what really happened during the tenth year of our marriage.

That was when he became entangled with a younger woman, someone who looked eerily like me.

"I'm just her personal trainer. What’s with all the drama?" he snapped, dismissing me with the wave of his hand.

In that moment, fury burned inside me. I ripped the wedding ring off my finger and hurled it at Mark. The sound of metal clinking on the floor was oddly satisfying.

“Don’t you dare call me dramatic!” I shouted. “I’m done pretending.”

——

Mark’s face darkened instantly and he lunged forward, grabbing my wrist with enough force to make me wince. His eyes were wild with anger, but I wasn’t afraid.

"What is it now, Jane? What are you trying to prove?"

I didn’t respond, my gaze shifting to Kath Saunders, the woman standing behind him. Her face—a disturbing replica of my own—seemed to taunt me. I walked straight up to her, my heart pounding with adrenaline and slapped her hard across the face.
