My mother took the iPad from my hands. She stared at the picture of Dominic standing in a suit on a stage. Her eyes went wide.
She gasped. “Indeed. This is the man I saw coming out of Celeste’s guest room.”
The words hit me like a physical blow.
I shook my head. “No. No, you must be mistaken.”
“I’m not mistaken, Julian. I saw him clearly.”
My mind was spinning. Dominic Ford. The richest man in the city. Seraphine’s husband. My wife’s best friend’s husband. He had been in my house. In Celeste’s room. Alone. With the door locked.
And then the memories started creeping in.
Seraphine. She’d accused Celeste of going into Dominic’s office and not coming out until it was dark. I’d dismissed it as jealousy. As paranoia. As a woman drinking too much wine and letting her imagination
run wild.
But now…
The five billion. Why would Dominic invest five billion dollars in Celeste’s lab? Why not his own wife’s company? What was the bargain between them?
My stomach turned.
No. I couldn’t bear it. I couldn’t stand here and think about my wife with another man. With Dominic Ford. The man who had everything. The man who was richer, more powerful, more successful than I would
ever be.
I ran.
Out of the living room. Out of the front door. My mother and sister called after me but I didn’t hear them. I couldn’t hear anything over the roaring in my ears.
If there was an affair, there was one person who could confirm it. One person who would know the truth. One person who had just as much reason to want to know as I did.
Seraphine.
I got into my car and started the engine. I pulled out my phone and called her number. It rang twice before she picked up.
“What do you want, Julian?” Her voice was flat and unimpressed.
“Are you still at the hospital?”
“Who wants to know? And why?”

I snapped. “Don’t play games with me, Sera. This isn’t a game. My call concerns my wife and your
husband.”
There was a pause. Then her voice came back, suddenly interested. “I just got home from the hospital”
“I’m coming.”
I hung up before she could respond.
I drove. Fast. Through traffic. Running red lights. None of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was getting to Seraphine’s house and finding out the truth.
My phone buzzed as I pulled up to a red light. A notification. A video file from an unknown number.
I frowned and opened it.
The video started playing and my blood ran cold.
It was me. On that bed in the VIP room. The redhead was on her knees in front of me, my cock in her mouth, her head bobbing up and down. The footage was crystal clear. High definition. Shot from somewhere in the room I hadn’t noticed. A hidden camera.
The video kept playing. Me fucking her tits. Me pushing her face down and pounding her pussy from behind. Her riding me. Me coming on her face.
Every second of it. Recorded.
A message appeared below the video.
“You have two hours to send fifty million dollars worth of Bitcoin to this wallet address. If we have not received the Bitcoin in two hours, this video will go viral and will be shared on all social media platforms. The clock is ticking.”
A wallet address followed. A string of letters and numbers.
I stared at the screen. My hands were shaking. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears
“what the hell!” I yelled, my voice echoing inside the car.
The light turned green. The car behind me honked.
I didn’t move.
I just sat there, staring at the video on my phone, watching the preview frame of me with that redhead’s mouth wrapped around my cock.
