Before You Accuse Me

Eva

People always assume cheating means a physical or emotional act of infidelity in a relationship but that wasn’t the case with us.

I was the daughter of a woman who’d cheated people out of their money, and finding someone I trusted enough to tell them about it was hard. Joshua was the exception, until I found out I wasn’t the only one who was hiding something.

Trust can be broken so easily, and I didn’t have a lot of it to begin with, so getting it back and fixing the cracks that were now chasms between us would be impossible.

Joshua

She was just a job, a way to help a friend out.

I knew her secret before she even knew I existed, but she didn’t know mine. It all should have been a black and white situation, but then it all blurred together when emotions and feelings became involved.

It may have started off as a lie, but now it’s so much more. I just need to find a way to get Eva to understand that while fixing everything that’s broken.
