I just said that.

Elias

Say it back so we both hear it.

Camille

No lies. Not even the polite kind.

Elias

Good. Politeness is how people get buried alive.

Synopsis

I spent five years being the sensible wife. I ran Graham's home. I saved his hotel opening. I kept my mouth shut when he thanked Lila for it. Lila is my best friend. She is also the woman Graham loved first. At the Sutter House opening, I heard him say it. She was always his first choice. I was the wife who stayed. Elias Kessler saw my face. Lila's husband. The cold billionaire who notices everything. He did not offer me pity. He offered me a deal. Stand with him in public. Tell each other the truth in private. Make everyone who called me second choice watch. I should have said no. But he looked at me like I was capable, not broken. So I said yes. Now I have a seat at his table and revenge in my smile. But is Elias using me to hurt his wife, or is he the only one who ever chose me?
