A Vow of Deception, A Vow of Revenge novel Chapter 223

Winona stepped into the apartment and immediately noticed the empty wine bottles scattered in the corner. Some had toppled over, others sat askew—a silent testament to restless nights.

Catching her gaze, Sue offered a sheepish smile. “I’ve just been in a rough spot lately. My mind won’t stop racing, and honestly, a bit of wine is the only thing that helps me fall asleep.”

Winona’s concern was gentle but unmistakable. “Are you okay, Sue?”

“I’m fine now.” Sue’s tone was breezy, though Winona couldn’t tell if she truly meant it or was just putting on a brave face. “I’ve been thinking a lot these past couple of days, and I finally figured it out. It’s just a man, right? If it doesn’t work out, move on. Divorce isn’t the end of the world. In fact, once it’s over, I don’t even have to stay in this country anymore. I can go back home and be with my family.”

She walked over to the window and swept the half-drawn curtains aside, letting the daylight spill into the room. “Three years—it’s not that long, is it?”

But as soon as the words left her lips, her eyes grew red, and tears threatened to spill.

She turned to Winona, her voice trembling. “Winona, I was with him for three years. Even after seeing his true colors, it still hurts so much. But you… you and Tyson were together for five years. How did you get through it when you found out he’d cheated?”

Sue’s pain wasn’t just her own—she was hurting for Winona, too.

Winona managed a small smile. “Once I knew the truth, I realized he wasn’t worth my grief. It just isn’t worth it.”

She made it sound easy, but only she knew the excruciating agony that had torn through her when the truth first came out. Still, she really had recovered quickly. She hoped Sue would, too.
