How could he lie about something so profound? How could he replace me with someone else and live a double life without me suspecting a thing? I needed to gather my thoughts and plan my next move carefully.
For the rest of the day, I went through the motions of my new job, my mind racing with schemes.

Every time Dylan passed by, I felt a mix of anger and heartbreak as I ducked out of sight. But I kept my composure, knowing that a confrontation now would be too hasty. I needed to be strategic.
Towards the end of the day, the company announced a meeting to welcome the new CEO. My heart skipped a beat. This was it—my chance to expose Dylan for the liar he was.
I watched as Lila stood there, calm and composed, having just turned my world upside down. I didn’t know what to say or do. I just knew that I was screwed.
As the meeting time approached, I rehearsed what I would say, my hands shaking with a mix of fear and determination.

The conference room buzzed with excitement as everyone gathered to greet the new CEO. I stood at the back, waiting for the right moment.
The new CEO was introduced, and the room erupted in applause. I took a deep breath and stepped forward, interrupting the proceedings.
“Do you believe in ghosts?” I asked, my voice echoing through the room. The crowd fell silent, all eyes turning to me. “Because it looks like they exist, since I am the wife of this scumbag!”

Gasps filled the room as I pointed directly at Dylan. His face turned pale, and Rachel’s eyes widened in shock. I felt a surge of adrenaline as I recounted how Dylan lied about his wife’s death and started a new relationship under false pretenses.
My voice trembled with emotion, but I pushed through, determined to expose the truth.
“I intend to divorce him,” I declared, my eyes locked on Dylan’s. “He has deceived me and everyone else. He deserves to face the consequences.”
