Chapter 3 The next morning, Lorenzo was up early, preparing an elaborate breakfast spread.
Heâd prepared a gourmet breakfast spread â eggs benedict, fresh croissants, and my favorite blueberry scones from that little French bakery downtown.
âTry this,â he murmured, holding up a forkful of perfectly poached egg. âJust like our first breakfast together, remember?â His voice was dripping with manufactured tenderness.
Across the table, Isabella pouted until Lorenzo discreetly texted her: âIâll make it up to you later. Anything you want. Just donât make a scene in front of her.â
Satisfied, Isabella threw me a contemptuous glance before leaving the table, deliberately brushing against Lorenzo as she passed.
I ignored Lorenzoâs offered bite, pretending to fumble with my utensils as I ate something else.
Mistaking my behavior for sulking, he insisted on taking me out after breakfast.
Heâd rented a luxury yacht and invited friends for what he claimed was my birthday celebration.
Throughout the journey, Lorenzo held my hand tightly, ostensibly to prevent me from falling, reminiscing about our past happiness. I remained silent, bitter irony mixing with pain in my chest.
Iâd once believed in âtill death do us part.â What a joke that turned out to be. Lorenzo craved excitement and younger flesh, forgetting our wedding vows.
The yachtâs deck was covered in red rose petals. He knew I hated roses â they were Isabellaâs favorite. How fitting that even my birthday celebration wasnât really for me.
âRemember? We got married right here,â Lorenzoâs voice cracked with emotion, a tear rolling down his cheek. He guided my finger to touch his tear. Such a convincing performance of devotion.
If he hadnât betrayed me, I might have been moved to tears myself. He had loved me once, but now that love belonged to Isabella.
I withdrew my hand, my face expressionless. Lorenzoâs hurt expression lasted mere seconds before his eyes lit up, looking past me.
Isabella appeared in a custom designer gown that made my simple outfit look dowdy by comparison. âHappy birthday, madam,â she purred, sliding next to Lorenzo and gripping his hand despite the crowd.

âEverythingâs ready, sir,â she announced. âShall I count down?â
âThree!â âTwo!â âOne!â
The night sky erupted with fireworks, painting the darkness with brilliant colors. Standing there, Lorenzo and Isabella looked like the real couple. The fireworks spelled out Isabellaâs name, not mine.
This birthday celebration, like the fireworks, wasnât meant for me at all.
Suddenly, Lorenzo asked the housekeeper to watch me. âBe good, darling. Iâll be right back,â he kissed my forehead before hurrying away with Isabella.
