Story
The story
After a brutal overnight shift, a chief surgeon returns home to find her husband, Mark, cooking pasta with unusual tenderness. But a strange perfume on his cuff, a lipstick-stained cigarette in the trash, and a damning smart-speaker recording of a coquettish voice by the floor-to-ceiling windows tell her everything. A poorly hidden hickey under concealer confirms her worst fears.
The next morning, a new nursing intern named Chloe Vance arrives at the hospital—her voice identical to the recording, wearing a limited-edition bracelet that vanished from the surgeon's bedroom. When Mark picks Chloe up after work and parks in a dark alley, the surgeon follows and films the rocking car. At the department dinner, with Mark playing the devoted husband, the surgeon drives her stiletto heel into his foot under the table, then follows them to a restroom and overhears Chloe cooing over his injury.
Since they love cheap thrills, she intends to make their next one unforgettable.
Opening excerpt
He was a senior software engineer at a tech firm, usually working crazier hours than me, but today he had miraculously taken the day off.
"You must be exhausted, babe. Have some food to recharge," he said with an unusually tender smile.
I took the bowl, but caught a whiff of a scent on his cuff that definitely didn't belong to me.
It was a sickly sweet designer perfume—the kind made to trap men.
I lowered my head to eat, but out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a crumpled, damp tissue in the trash can.
