I thought I’d found the perfect woman when I met Camille, an exchange student from France. We married after university, built a life together, and I tried my best to impress her family. But something felt off.

One night, during a dinner with Camille’s parents and my best friend Nolan, Nolan whispered urgently for me to check under our bed. I found a black box full of photos and letters revealing Camille’s secret affair with a man named Benoit—an arrangement pushed by her parents who wanted her to marry French.

I confronted Camille. She admitted the truth but begged for forgiveness. I couldn’t ignore the betrayal. I asked for a divorce.

The process was messy, but I chose to walk away. Nolan stayed loyal through it all, reminding me that honesty and self-respect matter most.
