Jenna confirmed my claim, exposing Chris’ deceptive behavior. “I didn’t know he was married,” she added, her voice cracking. “He never mentioned it.” The gathering fell silent as Jenna told her story, drawing a picture of a man who had lied and maneuvered his way into her life. Dereck listened attentively, his rage boiling beneath the surface. Chris’s deception was exposed for all to see.

Dereck’s apology
Dereck apologized sincerely to me for the mistake. “Monica, I’m so sorry,” he continued, his voice full of sadness. “I had no idea what kind of person Chris truly was.” His eyes met mine, and I could see the sincerity of his apology. The weight of the evening’s disclosures weighed heavily on both of us, but Dereck’s remarks provided a feeling of resolution.
