    Stacy's POVI waited patiently for Jace to come downstairs. All I could think about was Jace initial expression when he walked in only to see his wife with another man in his own bed. I made sure it was his room because that would be the first room he entered.I had hoped that what I planned would work out because if it didn't, everything I did would all be in vain.

"Oh please, do not flatter yourself. Jace has nothing to do with this mess. You think he has nothing better to do? " His mocking voice echoing in my head."So if he wasn't the one. Then who did?
