Chapter 6 For a moment , reality seemed to blur . Like I was watching someone elses life through frosted glass . I pinched myself . Not dreaming . Taking a breath , I pushed the door open- And froze . Instead of the cozy family home Id expected , I walked into what looked like an exclusive private dining room . Crystal chandelier hung low , mahogany panels , oversized oil paintings , high backed dining chairs … I knew this room . All those video calls with Nathan during his late meetings this was the backdrop . A laugh escaped my throat , sounding hollow in the silence . My eyes drifted to the powder room door . Something familiar caught my eye . The red cashmere scarf Id spent weeks knitting for Nathan last Thanksgiving . Id followed a YouTube tutorial , determined to make something by hand . Now it hung from the toilet handle . A makeshift pull . Upstairs , the master suite revealed an oversized bed custom made , clearly . A La Perla negligee tossed carelessly across the pillows . The walk in closet held a collection of mens clothes : Tom Ford suits , Brioni shirts , silk The Perfect Husbands Secret 26.3 % hapter pajamas . Nathans exact style . In the en suite bathroom , his and hers everything : Aesop toiletries , Turkish cotton towels , an electric razor . I picked up the razor . Stubble still caught in the blades . The silence pressed in . Time seemed to slow , then stop entirely . I stood frozen , unable to move , barely breathing . Footsteps on the stairs . Voices drifting up . Sure you wont stay for dinner ? Nathans voice : Just a quick shower . Need to be home by seven . Y Panic seized me . Not wanting to face what I knew was coming , I rushed to the balcony , pressing myself against the limestone wall . But their reflection was perfect in the glass doors . I hugged myself , trembling . Nathan methodically removing his Burberry coat , Kiton suit , Patek Philippe watch . Claire hovering nearby , voice soft : Stay later tonight ? Nathans expression remained blank as he continued undressing . hapte You told her you had a meeting with the senator . This chance- Know your place . His voice cut like ice . Claire bit her lip , then whispered : But earlier … you enjoyed it . Nathans hands stilled on his shirt buttons . He looked down at her , silent . Her hands slid inside his shirt , moving lower . We were interrupted before … Why not finish what we started ? The sounds that followed were unmistakable . As their moans filled the air , the first snow of winter began to fall . Istared upward , feeling disconnected , as if I were floating away into the grey sky . I couldnt bring myself to confront them . Couldnt bear to witness something that would sicken me for the rest of my life . Couldnt even find the strength to leave . Moms last words echoed : I had inherited her sensitivity but not her decisive nature . Thank goodness Nathan was so steady , shed said . Hed take care of me . Mom knew me too well . And didnt know Nathan at all . The snow fell softly , whitewashing the world . Claire emerged in her silk negligee , looking satisfied .
