Story

The story

Luna Baxter and Simon Fulmer have been married for five years. On the night of their fifth anniversary, Luna receives a voice message and intimate photos from Simon's first love, sent from his own phone. The woman taunts her that Simon took the bait as soon as she returned, and that the blue fireworks he prepared for her can be passed on to Luna's anniversary instead.

Luna does not cry or make a scene. She signs the divorce agreement Simon once locked in a safe as a pledge of fidelity, and quietly asks her secretary, Susanna Mace, to prepare a wedding — for Simon and Sophie Sutherland, his first love. She plans to fly to Naavi, where her parents live, on the same day.

Meanwhile Simon publicly declares his love for her, unaware that Luna has already decided to leave.

Opening excerpt

Luna Baxter and Simon Fulmer have been married for five years. One day, she receives a provocative voice message and intimate photos from Simon's first love. They're sent from his phone, too.

"I've only been back in the country for half a year, but he took the bait as soon as I laid it. He's prepared blue fireworks for me tonight, but I don't like the color blue. To avoid wastage, you can have them on your wedding anniversary."

Luna and Simon's fifth wedding anniversary comes a month later.
