Best Friend’s Perfect Lie

Cersei Blanchel married her best friend’s brother Louis Moore.

Three years of marriage, Louis was mature and elegant.

Yet he remained distant and disinterested in her, never once sexing with her.

While chatting over drinks, Cersei vented her frustrations to her best friend Rachel Moore about their marriage.

The very next day, she witnessed the something unbelievable.

Louis pinned Rachel against the wall, kissing her with passion. His voice was completely losing  control.

“You know I’ve always loved you. I married Cersei like you asked, but you still push me to fuck her? Are you trying to drive me insane?”

Rachel’s eyes glistened with tears.

“Louis, I love you too. But the Moore family has strict traditions. Even though I’m just adopted, they would never allow us to be together. Now that you married Cersei. Please, just try to love her.”

“I’ll never love anyone but you.” His voice dropped to a tortured whisper. “Marrying Cersei was the biggest sacrifice I could make. I don’t love her, so I can never sex with her.”

Each word hit Cersei. So this was why Louis never touched her after marriage.

All because her husband was in love with her best friend.

And her marriage? Just a façade to appease his family!

That night, Cersei’s heart ached so badly with her tears almost running dry.

She remembered the first time she saw Louis–how breathtakingly handsome he’d seemed.

She had fallen for her best friend’s brother instantly and spent seven years pursuing him.
