The Truth Behind The White Lies

"Hatred is blind as well as love."

-Oscar Wilde

"That would be the biggest betrayal." She looked him in the eyes. "I want you to be honest. Did you sleep with her?"

He looked Riley in the eyes. "I'm not."

Riley's eyes filled with tears. She knew how he played his games...and he just lied to her.


One Week Earlier

Riley's eyes opened. She faced the ceiling and smiled at the man who had his hands around her bare body, last night wasn't a regular night it was more than that. She turned around to face him and just then his sea green eyes landed on hers. "Good morning, Princess."

She smiled, four years of marriage and he still gave her the butterflies. He still made her breathe heavily, she still stuttered around him, but that's what he found adorable. "Did you have fun last night?"

"Plenty of fun." he said as he kissed her forehead. "Why don't you say we go for round three?"

"Can't. We have to go to work, remember?"

"Let's not go." Lucas said as he inched his naked body closer to the brunette's.

She laughed and held onto his waist. "As much as I would love to not go to work..." She got out of bed and walked to the closet. "Get ready."

He changed into his work clothes and followed his beloved downstairs. "I'll be home from work around 7:00."

"I'll see you then. Don't get into a crime I don't think they'll let me work on your case." She teased as he pulled her in for a kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." he opened the door and got into his car.

Riley drove to work, to one of the best Law Firms in New York. She has been working at The Blanch Law Firm ever since she got married with Lucas, they are a busy couple but they make time for each other. She loved him and he loved her, they went to college together. Even though they broke up for a few years they still remained friends-he swept her off her feet and Riley knew she was in love.

They moved in together after college ended for the both of them, he got a job as a veterinarian and she became an attorney just like her mother. Riley's life was changing for the better.


Riley unlocked the door to her apartment in Greenwich Village, she collapsed right on the floor and let out a breath. She spent the whole day revising files and going through medical records for her recent clients. Her eyes were exhausted and she could just sleep and act dead, it was 8:17 and she heard no sign of Lucas.

"Lucas?" she walked over to the kitchen, "You home?"

She heard no answer. She undid her hair and ran a hand through it, Lucas wasn't home and it worried her. He was never home late. Then she heard a door open and slam shut.

"Lucas is that you?" She walked towards the door and found Lucas's fists balled, he looked like he was ready to punch a wall. "Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?!" He bellowed.

"Wow, Lucas easy."

He faced the door and punched it with his palm. "Did you make dinner?"

"I just got-"

"Yes or No?!"

"Lucas, what is-"

"I'm going out."

"What?"

"Don't go looking for me i'll be home tomorrow." He opened the door and slammed it shut again.

Riley just watched him go, she has never seen him like that and it scared her. What was his reason to come home angry and yell at her?
