The Professor's Betrayal,She Walked Away Forever

When a smug confession about seducing a married professor goes viral, Claire recognizes the man in the story: Winston Dudley, her ex-husband. She was the plain wife the commenter boasted about replacing, the woman maneuvered out of her marriage with nothing.

Claire had known Winston since childhood, when she brought the orphaned boy home and her parents raised him as their own. He promised never to abandon her, and for years he kept that promise. Then Gabriella Morton, his brilliant new student, entered his life, and the distance between Claire and Winston widened until she found them together in their bedroom on their anniversary.

Now, three years after the divorce, Winston sends a friend request and an apology. The rain has already stopped; there is no point offering an umbrella now.
