Chapter 2The Unwelcome Surprise

I managed to hold it together until we got to Ross's apartment. I set Angela up in front of the TV, then followed Ross into the bedroom.

"Give me your phone."

"What's wrong?" He smiled and reached out to hug me, but I pushed him away.

I held his gaze until he finally gave in and handed it over.

The password hadn't changed. It was still our wedding anniversary.

How ironic.

I unlocked it, opened his messages, and let my intuition guide me. My eyes landed on a contact named "Amber."

She was a colleague of his. Their last exchange was from forty minutes ago.

Amber: "I'm working late tonight. When you come pick me up, can you grab some takeout? I'm craving those dumplings from that place on South Street~"

Ross's reply: "You and your cravings~"

I scrolled up. They texted every single day.

On all those days he’d told me he was too busy to even eat, he had been sharing every little detail of his life with Amber.

And they were colleagues. They worked in the same building.
