Only Then Did I Realize I Had Been Lost

My boyfriend and best friend set me up, and I was caught in bed with another man just three days before my wedding. “Do you want money or a proper place in my life?” The man spoke with the cool practicality of a businessman. Before I could decide, he added, “I happen to be single and need a wife.”

Just when I thought I’d hit the jackpot, he told me, “You’re the first woman I’ve been with, but you’re not my first.” It wasn’t until his ex-girlfriend showed up that I realized I’d already fallen for him. Love doesn’t care who came first. By then, I was already lost in it, and so was he.
