I Caught My Husband With My Brother’s New Wife — Then I Discovered Their Betrayal Was Never About Love

Chapter 1

My brother’s wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of his life.

Lucas had spent almost a year planning it with Olivia.

He loved her completely.

Everyone could see it.

He cried when she walked down the aisle.

He couldn’t stop smiling during their vows.

And when they kissed, our mother cried harder than anyone.

I stood beside my husband, Daniel, watching them.

“He’s finally happy,” I whispered.

Daniel squeezed my hand.

“He deserves it.”

I smiled.

For a moment, I believed everything was perfect.

Four hours later, I opened a hotel suite door and found my husband standing beside Olivia.

My brother’s new wife.

She was still wearing the diamond bracelet Lucas had given her that afternoon.

Daniel’s tie was loosened.

There were two glasses of champagne on the table.

And neither of them looked surprised to see me.

I stared at them.

“How long?”

Olivia’s face went pale.

Daniel stepped forward.

“Claire, listen.”

I raised my hand.

“No.”

My voice was strangely calm.

“Don’t explain yet.”

I looked at Olivia.

“Did my brother know you were here?”

She shook her head.

I looked at Daniel.

“Did you sleep with her?”

Silence.

That was answer enough.

I removed my wedding ring.

It landed on the table between them.

“Congratulations.”

Daniel stared at me.

“For what?”

I looked at both of them.

“For ruining two marriages in one night.”

Then I turned around and walked away.

I didn’t cry.

Not until I reached my room.

Because there was one detail I couldn’t forget.

Daniel hadn’t looked guilty when I caught him.

He had looked afraid.

Not afraid of losing me.

Afraid that I had discovered something else.
