Chapter 1

To save up enough money for a down payment on our future house, I started driving Uber after my regular office hours, keeping it a secret from my fiancée.

When the ride request popped up, I stared at my phone in disbelief for a few seconds.

In the rearview mirror, I watched my girlfriend of five years holding a man’s arm as they walked toward my car.

When she looked up and saw me, her entire body went rigid. She couldn't say a word.

The destination for this ride was a five-star hotel downtown.

But just an hour ago, she had texted me on Snapchat, saying she was having dinner with her best friend, Sarah, and would be staying over at Sarah's place tonight.

As I started the engine, the man suddenly leaned forward. His voice carried a smugness he didn't care to hide.

"Hey man, could you drive as smoothly as possible? My wife gets car sick. Thanks."

I nodded numbly. My mind went completely blank.

I stared at her through the rearview mirror for a long time. She kept her head down, refusing to make eye contact.

The man nudged her gently. "Babe, do you know him?"
