His Five-Year Lie The Billionaire Wife's RevengeChapter 1

1

The first time I caught my husband Tony Henson in bed with another woman, it was in our own home.

The woman was Faith Whitney, the so-called best friend he always swore was "like a brother" to him.

I lost it. Ran straight into the street. Tony shoved me out of the way and took the hit himself, a delivery truck slamming him into a severe concussion.

When he woke up, every memory was gone. Every single one, except me. He knelt at the side of his hospital bed, tears streaming down his face, begging me not to leave.

"If I can't be with you, I'd rather die."

I looked at the scars crisscrossing his scalp, the ones he'd gotten saving me, and my heart caved. Faith, meanwhile, conveniently left the country.

For five years after that, Tony treated me like a princess. I gave him everything in return. I was even carrying his child.

Then came his thirtieth birthday party.

He'd had too much to drink. His eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted with something that looked like resentment.

"My own son is five years old, and I've never once heard him call me Dad!"

I assumed the alcohol was talking. He'd forgotten our baby hadn't even been born yet.

A few relatives nearby frantically signaled for him to shut up. He ignored them, the liquor loosening his tongue further.

"You all really think I lost my memory? That I forgot Faith has a five-year-old son?"

……

Silence.

Then Tony hurled his champagne flute at the floor. Glass exploded across the marble.

At that exact moment, the doors to the private dining room swung open from the outside.

Faith Whitney walked in, leading a little boy dressed in a custom-tailored suit.

Around her neck hung the sapphire necklace Tony had bid three million dollars for at an auction last month. He'd told me he lost it on the way home.

Patsy Henson shot up from the head table and rushed over. She scooped the five-year-old into her arms without a second's hesitation.

"Oh, my precious grandson! Let Grandma get a good look at you."

The boy wrapped his arms around her neck like he'd done it a hundred times before.

"Grandma, I missed you and Daddy so much."

Patsy fished a thick envelope of cash from her pocket and tucked it into the boy's suit jacket.

"Grandma missed you too, sweetheart. You're staying home from now on. No more going anywhere."

I stood frozen, watching the scene unfold.
