Free From Her Shadow

My fiancée, Vivian, looked radiant in her white dress, laughing with another man at our engagement party.

This was the tenth time.

Each prior time, after I caught her betraying me, she would erase my memory of it, leaving me clueless, trapped in a cycle of her infidelity and my manufactured oblivion.

But this time, it was different.

I overheard her bragging to her lover, Kyle, that I, Ethan Miller, would forget everything, and still show up at the altar begging to marry her.

It wasn't just the affair; it was her absolute, casual cruelty.
