Chapter 1

My parents told me and my boyfriend to go register our marriage before the New Year.

On the drive to the courthouse, my boyfriend suddenly squinted at me.

"Are you sure you want to marry me?"

"What if I told you I slept with another woman---what would you do?"

I slammed on the brakes and turned to stare at him in shock.

"Don't joke around like that."

"I'm not joking, babe."

His smile was twisted as he leaned over to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Last night I had two women in my bed."

"So, do you still want to get married? I'll go along with whatever you decide."

I felt like I'd been struck by lightning. My whole body went cold.

My hands trembled uncontrollably on the steering wheel.

"We've been childhood sweethearts. My feelings for you haven't changed, and I'm willing to marry you, but I don't want you to be the only woman in my life."

Adrian grabbed my shaking hands, his movements gentle.

But his words were colder than the snow falling outside the window.

"I've been incredibly happy lately. Can't you tell?"

I looked at him in confusion.

He smiled as he spoke.

"Because it's thrilling!"

"You know that time I suddenly called you to come to the lab? Someone was under my desk right then, giving me a blowjob..."

He laughed. "It felt amazing. Her mouth was so tight. I came right in her mouth."

I stared at him in disbelief.

That night, Adrian had called in a panic saying something had gone wrong with his experiment and I needed to come help immediately.

When I arrived, he didn't look panicked at all. He was sitting calmly at his computer.

Though his face seemed to be restraining something.

Now, seeing his twisted smile, I instantly understood what had been happening at that moment.

A chill swept through my entire body.

My childhood sweetheart, the man who promised to marry me as soon as we graduated from our master's program.

Had been fooling around with other women all along as graduation approached!

My voice trembled when I spoke.

"Do you know that on my way back alone that night, I was almost assaulted by some creep in the grove?"

Adrian frowned and pulled me into his arms with a pained expression, patting my back.

"I know, babe."

"Thank God the security guard saved you, or I would've felt guilty forever."

"So, do you still want to marry me?"
