We Were Never Just Pretending

caught my husband cheating.

Not with a stranger.

Not with a friend.

With my sister.

I didn’t scream.

I didn’t cry.

I didn’t expose them.

I smiled... and started planning.

Instead of leaving, I called the one person who deserved to know the truth just as much as I did-

Her husband.

Nikolai Volkov.

We used to be best friends.

Until she made sure we weren’t.

Now we’re pretending.

Pretending to be a little too close.

Pretending to cross lines we shouldn’t.

Pretending to be exactly what they fear most.

But the more we play the game...

the less it feels like pretending.

And the worst part?

They think we’re the ones betraying them.
