My fingers started to tremble uncontrollably as I shakily tapped on the post. The photo expanded to fill my screen, and in that split second, my heart simply stopped. My mind flatlined into a complete, stunned blank.
I recognized the woman in the photo instantly.
It was me.
It was my photo.
In the picture, I was nestled deeply in bed, one side of my face resting against a thick, muscular arm while the other was exposed to the light. I was fast asleep, a soft, sweet smile gracing my lips like I was in the middle of a beautiful dream.
And I probably was dreaming of something beautiful back then.
Because this photo was taken during our very first year of marriage. In the picture, I was wearing the large, stunning pearl earrings he had gifted me.
I only ever wore those earrings when we were in our sweet honeymoon phase. After Ferris had turned cold and distant, I took them off and buried them at the bottom of my jewelry box. Right now, those very pearls were still sitting in the closet back at Eden Gardens.
Ferris's caption was incredibly simple. Just a single, concise line:
*My wife, Selena Hayes. Affectionately known as Moonlight.*
My mind wasn't blank anymore; it was ringing with a deafening roar.
Had Ferris lost his mind?
What the hell was he doing?
Why would he post a picture of me on his timeline?
Even if he wanted to post it, shouldn't he have restricted the audience? His contact list was full of our mutual colleagues. Seeing something like this... wouldn't they lose their minds?
Besides, wasn't he the one who was terrified of people finding out we were married?

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
