Fresh from their honeymoon, Jane is eager to start her life as a newlywed. However, a secretly overheard conversation reveals her husband’s superficial nature. Faced with a choice, will Jane mold herself into his ideal or walk away?
Being Wayne’s girlfriend was one thing; being his wife proved entirely different.
Up to a year ago, I believed Wayne was my soulmate. We met shortly after he ended a damaging relationship.
“Are you certain you’re ready for this?” I questioned.
“Absolutely, Jane,” he assured me. “Nicole is history. I’m looking forward to settling down and being content.”
Initially, I feared being a rebound—a common occurrence. Yet, I thought, what did I have to lose?
Nearly two years of dating later, Wayne proposed.
“Let’s spend forever together, Jane,” he suggested.
Naturally, I agreed. Throughout our time together, Wayne convinced me I was more than just a rebound.
Returning from an idyllic honeymoon, full of joy and lifelong promises, everything seemed perfect until one typical day shattered the illusion.
Preparing to walk our dog, Bolt, I heard Wayne inviting me to greet his friends on a video call.
After a brief hello, I went to grab a raincoat as the sky threatened rain.
Laughter echoed from Wayne’s ongoing call as I quietly fetched my coat, avoiding notice.
Unbeknownst to me, that day would unravel our relationship.
“Dude, are you still fixated on Jane’s appearance?” joked one friend.
My heart raced.
What? I wondered.
Hoping it was a joke, I expected Wayne to defend me.
