My True North After Their Deceit

I spent four years and my life savings funding my boyfriend's law degree across the country.

I thought we were building a future.

But when I flew to California to surprise him with a proposal at his graduation, I found him on one knee.

Not for me, but for Janessa-my best friend since childhood.

I collapsed on the spot.

When I woke up in the hospital, the nightmare only got worse.

The nurse innocently crushed me:

"It' s good you' re awake. Eric was so worried, just like when their dog got sick. They' ve been such a sweet couple living together these past two years."

My blood ran cold.
