All Chapters of My Love Stat Is Lying to My Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

I didn't arrive at the Yorks' Christmas dinner with my wife, Camille York. By the time I finished at the office and rushed over, everyone was watching me with the same tight, uncomfortable expression."Mr. Fuller, what took you so long?"I followed the voice and looked up. Camille's assistant, Shane Mercer, stood at the second-floor railing, smirking down at me.His shirt hung half-open, red scratch marks across his chest on full display. His arms were wrapped around Camille from behind, possessive and deliberate.Camille leaned into him lazily, hickeys scattered across her neck. She was perfectly content to let her side piece parade himself through her family's home.Before heading over, I'd been hopeful. I thought tonight might be the night I patched things up with Camille. But seeing Shane standing there like he owned the place, whatever warmth I'd been carrying died, snuffed out like a flame hit with ice water.When I didn't rise to Shane's bait, the relatives shifted in thei

By the time I'd decided to marry Camille, the mission was already complete, and the system could no longer offer me any advantages.Without that safety net, the world turned out to be viciously real. The gap between Camille and me was enormous. The obstacles between us stretched out like an ocean, and every step forward felt like walking on air.To get her family's blessing, Camille and I had signed a wager with her grandmother. I successfully doubled the company's valuation and then voluntarily stepped down from my position, all so the Yorks could feel assured.On our wedding day, the guests had circled me like sharks. Some looked jealous, others nostalgic, but most of them had already decided Camille would end up just like everyone else in their world, juggling lovers on the side. They offered their condolences early."You'll see how it is soon enough. Everyone in this circle has a little something going on the side.""Remember how madly in love the Watsons used to be? Look at t

Every day at the Coral Bay care home was peaceful. I'd wheel Mom out for some sun, and when we got back, the other residents would rope me into card games. In my downtime, I'd banter with the system. Life was easy.If Camille hadn't shown up, I think I would have stayed that content until I forgot about her entirely.When I saw her again, I couldn't believe it. Mom, on the other hand, recognized her instantly and called out affectionately, "Cami!"After three months apart, Camille looked thinner and more worn out than before. She crouched in front of Mom's wheelchair, chatting warmly the way she always used to. It was such an ordinary scene, but after the divorce, watching it only made me uneasy."Emilio told me you were too busy to come visit." Mom turned to look at me, her voice full of affectionate scolding. "If you're so busy, you don't need to make the trip just for me. I don't have many years left anyway. What matters is the two of you."She took my hand and Camille's and

Camille didn't get to keep up her vigil outside my building much longer. The York family had plenty of branches, and the company wouldn't crumble without her. Camille might not have seen that, but her Mrs. York Senior certainly did.She was still the old woman's granddaughter, after all, so she couldn't just stand by and watch anymore. Within days, she flew to Coral Bay herself and had bodyguards escort Camille back to Stratton.Before she left, she asked to see me. I figured it might be the last time we'd ever meet, so I agreed."Shane Mercer has been terminated from York Group." Mrs. York Senior's voice was calm and measured across the coffee shop table."I know."It wasn't hard to figure out. With the system fanning the flames, the scandal had blown up too big for Shane to walk away unscathed. Even with Camille shielding him, her grandmother would never have allowed it.I hadn't left the apartment in days, but that didn't mean I wasn't keeping up online. If anything, I probabl
