View MoreRory was at a charity event, sipping champagne and making small talk with the other guests. She was dressed to impress in a stunning red gown, her hair styled perfectly and her makeup flawless.As she turned to grab another glass of champagne, she saw him. Max. The lawyer she had met after the car accident.Rory's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met. Max smiled warmly and made his way over to her."Rory, it's great to see you again," he said, his voice low and smooth.Rory felt a flutter in her chest, but she quickly pushed it aside. She was married, after all. And she wasn't interested in Max."Max," she said coolly, her voice detached. "What brings you here tonight?"Max looked taken aback by her chilly demeanor, but he quickly recovered. "I'm a supporter of the charity," he said. "I try to attend as many events as I can."Rory nodded politely, her eyes scanning the room for an escape. She didn't want to be stuck talking to Max all night.But Max seemed determined to keep the con
Rory was driving home from the beach, lost in thought as she navigated the winding roads. She was still reeling from the shock of Julian's infidelity, and her mind was a jumble of emotions.As she turned a corner, she didn't notice the car stopped in front of her. She slammed on the brakes, but it was too late. Her car bumped into the other vehicle, causing both cars to come to a sudden stop.Rory's heart was racing as she got out of the car to assess the damage. The other driver, a young man with a sharp jawline and piercing blue eyes, was already out of his car, looking at the bumper of his vehicle."Hey, are you okay?" he asked, looking up at Rory.Rory nodded, feeling a sense of relief that no one was hurt. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about the accident."The young man smiled and shook his head. "It's not your fault. I should have been paying attention to the road."As they exchanged information and inspected the damage, Rory learned that the young man's name was Max. He was a lawyer,
Rory lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as she tried to process the events of the evening. She had confronted Julian about her suspicions, but he had denied everything. He had made excuses, told her she was being paranoid, and sent her to bed.But Rory knew what she had seen. She had seen the way Julian looked at that woman, the way he smiled at her. She had seen the way he touched her arm, the way he leaned in close.Rory's mind was racing with questions. Who was that woman? What was her relationship with Julian? And why was Julian lying to her?As she lay there, Rory felt a sense of unease creeping over her. She had always known that Julian was charming, that he had a way with women. But she had never suspected that he was cheating on her.Or had she?Rory thought back to all the times Julian had been late, all the times he had cancelled plans at the last minute. She thought about all the times he had been distant, preoccupied.Had she been ignoring the signs? Had she been too blind
Aurora "Rory" Wynter stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of her luxurious mansion, gazing out at the perfectly manicured lawn. The sun was setting, casting a warm golden light over the entire scene. It was a picture-perfect moment, one that she had grown accustomed to over the years. Behind her, the sound of champagne glasses clinking and polite laughter filled the air. Their annual charity gala was in full swing, and Rory was playing the role of hostess to perfection. Her husband, Julian Saint Clair, was mingling with the guests, charming them with his famous smile and effortless charisma. Rory's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Julian laugh with a young, beautiful woman. She was a model, or an actress, or something. Rory couldn't quite remember. All she knew was that the woman was young, and beautiful, and completely enamored with Julian. A faint sense of unease crept up Rory's spine, but she pushed it aside. She was used to this. She was used to being the perfect trophy
