Story

The story

For five years, James carried an unrequited love for Lara Lawson. Exhausted, he marries his childhood friend, Celine Young, and to the outside world they are the perfect couple, raising their son, Will Sawyer. Then he unlocks Celine's phone and finds unsent messages meant for another man: her college senior and his former superior, Robert Lane.

On Valentine's Day, Celine never appears. James later sees her steadying a drunken Robert, and his son Will asks after Robert, revealing the two have met. Outside Robert's home, Celine carries flowers; her mother, Elizabeth, offers explanations that do not quite hold together.

Years of a seemingly blissful marriage crumble as James realizes he may be nothing but a convenient stand-in, and even his own son seems to side against him.

Opening excerpt

To the outside world, Celine and I are the perfect couple. We share a wonderful life together and eventually welcome an adorable baby boy.

I regard her as someone who has been by my side my entire life. But one day, I turn on her phone and discover two unsent messages.

"If you want, I can divorce him immediately."

"You're the only man I'll ever love."

As it turns out, what I thought was my salvation is nothing but a cruel joke. I am nothing but a convenient stand-in. And to make matters worse, even my own flesh and blood is on her side.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
