My one-bedroom apartment was all I needed. I was in a beautiful relationship and about to tie the knot, so that tiny place became our little sanctuary, cozy and warm, a place where my new life was about to start, or so I thought so, until I received a strange message written on a pizza box.
When I opened it, I noticed a message written on the pizza box. It read: “HE IS NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS. CHECK YOUR DOOR CAMERA.”
My heart dropped. “Is this a joke?” I thought to myself.
I closed the pizza box as I lost my appetite and rushed to check the footage from the security camera.
At first, there was nothing out of the ordinary, but then, I saw it. While I was at work, a woman, tall and elegant, came to our apartment. She was bringing a bottle of wine and Ryan opened the door and welcomed her inside.
They hugged before she entered.
I had never seen that woman before. Was he cheating on me?
I couldn’t wait to confront him, scared that he was indeed having an affair.
A day later, he returned from the trip. “Hey, babe, did you miss me?” he said and leaned to give me a kiss. But I didn’t let him. Instead, I showed him the footage from the security camera.
“What’s this Ryan?” I asked, trying to hold my tears from rolling down my face.
He looked at me and said, “Don’t be dramatic, I just felt overwhelmed, that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.”
“Wow,” I thought to myself. “You didn’t even deny it?”
I knew I couldn’t stay there any longer. My heart ached and my world collapsed, but at least I learnt what kind of man Ryan was before I married him.
A few days later, I stopped by at the pizza place. I saw Anthony there and thanked him for that message on the pizza box. He said that he had second thoughts about sharing Ryan’s secret with me, but simply couldn’t let me marry someone who wasn’t worth of me.
Eventually, I moved on. The only thing I sometimes miss from my old life is the tiny apartment.
