Broken Oaths (Lisa Davis and David Green) novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

What’s even more ridiculous is that for five whole years, Lisa had been completely oblivious, utterly unaware of when they’d gotten together.

David’s friend couldn’t resist asking, “What about Lisa?

Aren’t you afraid she’ll find out?”

David lowered his gaze, his slender fingers tapping rapidly on his phone screen, his tone carrying an almost imperceptible certainty. “I’ll keep loving Lisa as always, but she’ll never find out.”

“All of you, keep your mouths shut. Don’t let this reach her.”

The next second, Lisa’s phone vibrated.

She stared at the message from David, her heart seizing as a chill spread through her entire body.

“Sweetheart, I miss you.

I hate this business trip. Every second away from you is torture. I’ll do everything I can to get home by our anniversary. Love, your husband.”

Lisa clutched her phone, lifting her eyes to watch David walking further away, a sharp, pervasive ache blooming in her chest.

Her vision blurred, hot tears welling up. This wasn’t her David.

Her David was the boy who grew up with her, who climbed through her window to retrieve a dropped hairpin and broke his leg, then soothed her tears.

He was the eighteen-year-old who climbed a snow-capped mountain just to confess his love, swearing to cherish her forever and never lie.

He was the twenty-year-old who handwrote 9,999 love letters and baked a hundred different cakes to propose.

He was the twenty-two-year-old who personally planned their fairytale wedding, the man who clung to her day and night after marriage, unwilling to be apart…

Not this fraudster before her, whispering love while marrying another woman.

Lisa’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. She bit her lip hard. Her phone vibrated again – David was calling.

After a second’s hesitation, she answered.

“Sweetheart, where are you?

Have you eaten?

Why does it sound so noisy there?”
