Bought and Betrayed
Emily’s carefully written entries confirmed the most devastating part—she was compensated for her role in this charade. Page after page recorded deposits made to her account in exchange for maintaining the illusion. What Mark had thought was love was, in fact, a performance paid for by strangers. Their life together had been one of fiction and transactions.
Mark’s heart shattered as he turned the pages. The love he had clung to, the warmth he remembered, now felt manufactured and empty. His world, built on trust, had collapsed entirely. The truth he fought so hard to uncover had cost him everything: his identity, his relationship, and his very sense of self. And yet, he kept reading—because now, he needed to know it all.
