Chapter 3 " Mr. Whitmore's spending big bucks on Lila - everyone in the industry's saying he'd rather have beauty than business , haha ! " ] " Exactly ! " Some pot - bellied guy raised his glass . " Lila , why don't you join us in toasting Mr. Whitmore ? " I froze in the corner . Jasper was allergic to alcohol - he never drank , not even at business dinners . I was always the one running interference , taking those drinks for him . But there he was with a wine glass in front of him while Lila pouted : " I don't drink ! My babe would never make me . " " Right , babe ? " ] She wrapped herself around Jasper's arm , and he actually picked up that glass , giving the man a cool look " Lila doesn't drink . " [ " But if we're toasting , how about Mr. Carter and I have one instead ? " I watched Jasper down that entire glass while everyone cheered . [] Lila blushed and gushed about what a hero he was , and Jasper just smiled indulgently and pinched her cheek . ] ] I felt like I was being sliced open with a rusty blade , watching myself become shredded while still clinging to the hope that maybe this was all some misunderstanding . Emma grabbed my swaying body and was ready to storm in there and tear Jasper apart : " That son of a bitch ! " I held her back and pulled out my phone to call Jasper I was still desperately hoping he'd give me some explanation , tell me there was more to the story . I watched him glance at his buzzing phone , then look at Lila with a complicated expression . ] Without hesitation , she declined the call She clung to his arm again , reminding him : " You promised . " ] " You said you'd have my back . " I stubbornly kept calling back . ] His phone lit - up and went dark , lit up and went dark , until finally Jasper made his choice . " Yeah . " " I promised . " [ ] He flipped his phone face down , completely cutting off my calls . Lila beamed at him , and that smile became the final straw that broke me . could barely stay on my feet , but I managed to pull together enough clarity to tell Emma : " Security cameras . " " The cameras , " my voice was shaking as I pointed up at them . " Save the footage . I need evidence . " I looked from the cameras to Jasper's face , which was getting paler by the second , and told Emma : " If Jasper's made his choice . then I'm not going to make things easy for him . " I got in Emma's car and looked through all the evidence she'd gathered . Photos of Jasper and Lila playing tourist together . Lila's Instagram was like this massive web , weaving together her and Jasper's love story - a story that never included me . ] I saw a video from when I was on that business trip last month . Lila was sitting in my Tesla , recording herself . [ ] In the video , she was grinning : " OMG you guys , hubby's car broke down so he got me a new ride ! It's pretty girly though , so Inf gonna surprise him with a little something special . " ] She was recording custom GPS messages , then put her finger to her lips and winked at the camera . ] " Wanna guess ? " " Think my honey will like this surprise ? Think he'll buy me those cookies ? " ] Fighting back nausea , I kept scrolling and found photos from the day I was at the fertility clinic for IVF prep . Lila had been at the same women's hospital , holding test results and looking all coy . " Your girl's missed her period for a month and a haln " Drop your guesses in the comments - is it just irregular cycles , or … " She giggled . " Am I about to become a mommy ? " ] " That fucking bitch ! " Emma was pounding the steering wheel , but I'd moved past the initial rage and heartbreak into . something colder . " Jasper has low sperm count , " I told her .
