And for the first time, I saw panic in his eyes.
Mark noticed it too.
“You knew she was coming back?”
His brother said nothing.
Mark stepped toward him.
“You knew?”
Still nothing.
Then his brother slowly reached into his jacket.
He pulled out a phone.
And placed it on the table.
“I think it’s time we stop pretending.”
Mark stared at the phone.
“What is that?”
“Everything.”
His brother pressed the screen.
A recording began playing.
And within seconds, Mark’s face turned completely white.
Because the voice coming from that phone was his own.
And what he had said in that recording would prove that the biggest secret in our marriage had never been Claire.
It had been Mark himself.
