The story
For three years, Matt has kept his relationship with Isabella, the CEO of Astra Group, hidden from everyone. When her family pressures her to marry, she brings Leo, her assistant, home to meet her parents as her boyfriend, while Matt watches from the shadows. That night, she admits Leo was only playing a part, yet she still calls Matt an embarrassment and storms off.
At the office, Isabella marks Matt absent for being an hour late, and whispers confirm that she and Leo are together. When his car returns from service, Matt finds lingerie and nipple covers left in it, and he knows they are not his. He sells the car without haggling, removes the dashcam card, and decides the three-year farce is over.
Still, Isabella keeps messaging him for advice on gaming parts, as if nothing has changed. Matt must decide whether to keep playing along or finally step into the light.
Opening
I’d been in a secret relationship with my roommate’s CEO cousin for three years.
Today, he hit me with some news.
“My cousin is bringing her boyfriend of three years to meet her parents in a bit.”
Then he clapped me on the back. “Hey, when are you going to bring your little girlfriend around for me to meet?”
I had no idea how to answer him. I mumbled an excuse and escaped to the balcony, dialing his cousin’s number.
She hung up on me. When I turned around, my girlfriend was standing in the doorway, her arm linked with another man’s.
