Chapter 1

I was marrying a man who cheated on me. His name was Brad Morley.

All my friends who knew about his infidelity had warned me not to marry with such man.

But I had no regrets. I still wanted to marry him.

What I didn't expect was that he would invite that woman to our wedding.

Today was our wedding day, and it was truly exhausting. My face was stiff from smiling, and my legs ached from standing, but thankfully, everything went smoothly in the end.

Brad was already fast asleep, but I couldn't seem to fall asleep myself.

My body was tired, yet my mind kept replaying the scene from earlier today when I saw her.

She was the woman Brad had an affair with, the one who left the deepest impression on me. Her name was Eleanor Jensen.

She handed me a generous cash gift, wishing us a happy marriage.

I smiled, mostly because I had been smiling all day, and my muscles had gotten used to responding to guests with a smile.

She asked to take a photo with Brad and me, saying she wouldn't stand in the middle of us, and naturally positioned herself next to Brad. My body tensed. Then, I saw Brad shift slightly towards me, holding me tighter, without making any contact with her.

Their arms didn't touch, like two strangers. But in my mind, the image of them passionately entangled in a hotel room suddenly flashed.

The smile on my face seemed stiff because I heard the person taking the photo say, "Relax your smile, bride."

After the photo, she went to sit at the banquet, and Brad took my hand, asking if I was tired. I shook my head, continuing to smile as we mingled with the guests.

The ceremony went smoothly. My bridesmaids were my college roommates, and while I, the bride, didn't shed a tear, they cried their makeup off. One of my friends who knew that Brad cheated got drunk and pointed at him, crying, "If you do it again, I'll smash your head."

Much later, I found out Brad had also pursued her, but that was a story for another time.

After the banquet ended and we saw off all the guests, our parents went home. Brad and I returned to our new home.

Listening to his breathing and looking at the blurry silhouettes of our wedding photo in the dark, I asked myself why I chose to marry a man who cheated.

The day I discovered his infidelity, I thought about revenge.

It wasn't from checking his phone or a friend witnessing it and telling me. It was I saw it with my own eyes.

That night, he went out for dinner with his radio station colleagues, and I couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

The next morning, his roommate told me he hadn't returned to the dorm.

I bought the breakfast he liked to eat, waiting for a long time at the bus stop near their gathering place, looking at the entrance of those hotels. I saw him come out of a hotel room, bleary-eyed, to extend his stay, and I quietly followed behind, watching them passionately entangled.

That day, I threw the breakfast into the trash and walked back to school alone.

Later, I received a message from him, saying he drank too much at the dinner and slept outside.

He said, "Baby, my head hurts, and I'm starving."

So I arranged to meet him at the cafeteria, buying him warm milk and his favorite bread.

The milk might have been too hot because he unbuttoned his coat, and I saw a kiss mark that was half covered by the collar.

Under my questioning, he admitted it. After a long silence, he said sorry to me.

I knew what he meant, so we broke up.

But after he broke up with Eleanor, he came back to me to get back together, and I quickly agreed.

My roommates called me foolish, but I just smiled and looked helpless.

But they didn't know that all of this was part of my plan.
