Five Years, One Devastating Lie Novel Synopsis
My husband was in the shower, the sound of water a familiar rhythm to our mornings.I was just placing a cup of coffee on his desk, a small ritual in our five years of what I thought was a perfect marriage.
Then, an email notification flashed on his laptop: "You're invited to the Christening of Leo Thomas."
Our last name. The sender: Hayden Cleveland, a social media influencer.
An icy dread settled in. It was an invitation for his son, a son I didn't know existed.
I went to the church, hidden in the shadows, and saw him holding a baby, a little boy with his dark hair and eyes.
Hayden Cleveland, the mother, leaned on his shoulder, a picture of domestic bliss.
They looked like a family. A perfect, happy family. My world crumbled.
I remembered him refusing to have a baby with me, citing work pressure. All his business trips, the late nights-were they spent with them?
The lie was so easy for him. How could I have been so blind?
I called the Zurich Architectural Fellowship, a prestigious program I had deferred for him.
"I' d like to accept the fellowship," I said, my voice eerily calm. "I can leave immediately."
