So, even now Mark still wasn’t going to show his face.
I glared back at Jamie, “You won’t let me? Who are you to tell me what to do? You just said it
yourself, I’m his wife.”
Jamie stared at me, tears filling her eyes. “How
can you be so cruel? Mark loves you so much.
く
“What if he isn’t?”
My eyes went to her marked neck and I smiled.
“Even if he isn’t, I don’t want to waste my time on a cheater.”
I had Jamie dragged off to a side and continued with the service.
I was about to say something when a
disheveled looking man appeared at the door.
“Honey, I’m not dead! I’m back!”
Chapter 2
- 4.
Mark ran to me and pulled me into a tight hug,
shaking as he whispered my name.
“Chloe, you have no idea how much I’ve missed
you.”

“I fell while skiing and broke several bones.
Luckily, a kind soul got me to the hospital. It
took me three months to heal before I could see
you.”
“I’m alive, look! I’m right here!”
He grabbed my hands and made me feel him all
over, like he needed to prove he’d really had a
brush with death.
I just watched him act.
Once he finally noticed how awkward he looked,
I laughed.
“Are you done now?”
“The kind soul that took you to the
hospital…that was Jamie, right?”
Mark froze.

He tried to look confused. “Chloe, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
I watched him fake confusion. After three
months of being lied to, I slapped him.
“You hid from me for three months. Why didn’t
you just stay hidden?
“Weren’t you planning to show your face once
I’d gone crazy looking for you? I’m not crazy
yet. Why are you here now?”
He stared at me.
“How did you know?”
I smirked.
“I know a lot.”
I turned to the big screen, where we’d planned
to project photos of Mark. I turned it on.
