Chapter 1: The Smirk She Didn't Bother to Hide
My best friend sat on my husband's lap in front of thirty dinner guests.
When I confronted her, a friend revealed the dark secret she whispered to him right before doing it.
I stepped out to the restroom for five minutes during our friend's birthday dinner.
When I walked back into the crowded restaurant, my stomach dropped.
My best friend Megan wasn't sitting in her own chair.
She was sitting directly on my husband Daniel's lap.
Her arm was wrapped tightly around his neck while they laughed together.
When she noticed me standing there, she didn't move.
She just smirked and pulled him closer.
Megan had been my best friend for twelve years.
She held my dress when I picked my wedding gown.
I walked up to the table with my heart pounding.
"What are you doing?" I asked quietly.
Daniel's face turned pale.
Megan just laughed softly.
"Relax, we're just joking."
I glanced across the table at Megan's husband, Ryan.
"Okay," I said calmly.
"Then I'll go sit on Ryan's lap."
Megan instantly jumped off my husband.
"Don't be ridiculous!" she snapped.
"Why is it ridiculous?" I replied.
The entire table went completely silent.
"You know exactly why," she sneered.
When she did it, it was a joke.
When I suggested doing the exact same thing, she suddenly understood boundaries.
Megan grabbed her purse and accused me of creating drama.
"After twelve years, you should know I'd never do anything wrong," she spat.
I turned around and looked her in the eye.
"Then explain the joke to everyone."
She froze.
Not a single person at the table laughed.
I turned on my heel and walked outside into the cold air.
Daniel followed me, trembling and apologizing.
Then he admitted something that made my bl00d run cold.
This wasn't the first time.
She had previously told him she would "take him in" if we ever divorced.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed with angry texts from Megan, calling me paranoid and jealous.
Through the window, I saw her husband Ryan staring at her with an exhausted, broken expression.
Before I could process it, a friend from our table rushed outside.
Her face was completely pale.
"You need to know something," she whispered.
"What?" I asked.
"I heard what Megan whispered to Daniel right before she climbed onto his lap."
My stomach twisted into knots.
