“I think they are having an affair,” I blurted out, my voice shaking. “What should I do?”
James sighed. “Julia, don’t be ridiculous, they not cheating on you. I swear it. What makes you think that?”
I could hear snippets of their conversation through the half-open window.
“Julia just called me,” James said, sounding concerned. “She’s worried sick, thinks you two are having an affair.”
Ben nodded. “So, she is unaware of everything.”
“That’s great!” Kate replied, her tone filled with excitement.
“Our plan is working,” Ben added.
My heart shattered. I had heard enough. I barged into the house, my anger boiling over.
“You lying, cheating traitors! How could you do this to me?”
Kate and Ben looked at me, stunned. James stood up, trying to calm me down.
