They Called Me the Mistress. I Was His Wife

For five years, I called Julian my husband. I defended his distance, excused his coldness, and told myself love was enough. Then one anonymous confession shattered everything: he had married me only to keep tabs on his first love—my best friend. When she returned, they erased my place in his life and painted me as a shameless homewrecker. Online, I was cursed. In public, I was humiliated. Behind closed doors, I was threatened into silence. But after losing my child and nearly losing myself, I stopped begging to be believed. I chose revenge, and this time, I made sure the truth hurt.
