Lane Story1 Chapter 1 Love Story1 Chapter 1 That morning , I noticed our housekeepers lip was split . Then my husband Ryan leaned over to kiss me . I smiled and dodged playfully , but caught sight of the cluster of red marks across his pllarbone . Suddenly , my mind went blank as realization struck . Those werent just marks they were hickeys and scratch marks .. The man Id been married to for seven years was having an affair . I kept smiling as I saw him off to work , kept smiling as I closed the door behind him . Only when I turned away did my heart plummet into darkness . After Ryan left , I felt my world spinning . Outside , the sun blazed bright , but my heart felt gripped by an iron fist , leaving me gasping for air . From the living room came the sound of Emma , our housekeeper , humming as she cleaned , Before , I might have found it pleasant . But now , all I could think about was her split lip and the marks on Ryans neck . My phone chimed . Opening it , I saw messages from Ryan : * Babe , made it to work !?
