Chapter 2 The more I thought about it , the worse it felt . And here's the thing - when a woman starts to suspect something , She turns into the goddamn FBI . tried to think back - had Liam been acting strange lately ? Any weird behavior ? But no - we'd been buried in wedding prep . Running around nonstop . He was by my side the whole time . Barely even touched his phone . No suspicious texts . No sketchy calls . Still - that message hit me like a punch to the gut . I couldn't ignore it . But I couldn't confront him yet either . Not without proof . I've always had a little too much pride . Can't stand being lied to . Can't forgive betrayal . If Liam had cheated on me ... That was it . I'd be done . I needed to be smart . So instead of calling him , I rang up his little sister , Emma . " Hey Emma , is your brother already asleep ? I tried calling him but didn't hear back . " She sounded confused . " Uh ... didn't he tell you ? He went out for drinks with the guys . " My heart dropped . Just thirty minutes ago , he texted me " Goodnight , babe . Going to sleep early for tomorrow . " He didn't mention drinks . Not a word . And it's the night before our wedding - he's supposed to be picking me up at 6 a.m. sharp , Why the hell would he be out partying ? I forced a laugh , trying not to sound like I was dying inside . 10:26 The Nigbe Roforo Our Weddin Chapter 2 " Oh God , you're right ! I totally forgot . My brain's fried with all the wedding stress ! " Emma giggled . " Totally ! You two must be exhausted . I'll see you tomorrow ! Can't wait for the big day ! " I faked a smile through the phone . But I knew - there might not be a big day . After we hung up , I just sat there . Staring at myself in the mirror . Trying to make sense of any of it . I'm not hard to love . I'm smart . I have a decent job . I come from a good family . I'm not needy or controlling . I'm prettier than most girls Liam's ever even talked to . So why ? Why would he throw away everything ? Seven years - gone , for what ? I felt like I'd waited forever for my dream dinner to arrive , and when it finally got to the table ... There was a dead cockroach on the plate . I was angry . I was heartbroken . And I was sick to my stomach . 10:26
