“I had been competitive for as long as I could remember. Whatever the game, I had to come in first.

 

So when someone suggested a “don’t look back” challenge on the Sinclair family’s private yacht, everyone said I was guaranteed to win.

 

The rules were simple—stand where you were, and no matter what happened behind you, you weren’t allowed to turn around. If you looked back, you lost.

 

My fiancé, Ethan, and my best friend, Zoe, stood behind me, while my brother Julian was in charge of coming up with ways to trick me into turning around.

 

The game had barely started when Julian called out, “Nora, Ethan’s holding Zoe’s hand.”

 

I didn’t even blink.

 

When I didn’t react, Julian laughed again. “Seriously not looking? They’ve got their arms around each other now.”

 

I still didn’t move.

 

Then Julian’s tone suddenly changed.

 

“Nora… they’re kissing.”

 

I knew it was supposed to be a trick to make me turn around.

 

But I turned anyway.

 

And then I saw it—Ethan with his head lowered, Zoe’s face tilted up, the two of them actually kissing.

 

My mind went blank.

 

I walked over and slapped Ethan across the face.

 

Zoe’s eyes instantly reddened.

 

“Nora, I don’t want to hide it from you anymore. Ethan pursued me for four years in college.”

 

“We just… didn’t want to look back on those four years with regret.”

 

I had always known Ethan spent four years in college chasing a girl.

 

During those four years, I had seen him get blackout drunk over her. I had sat beside him and cursed her for being blind to what she had.

 

But I had never known that girl was my best friend, Zoe.

 

Everyone else knew.

 

I was the only one who had been kept in the dark all this time.”
