When My Agent Wife Betrayed Me, I Faked My Death to EscapeChapter 1
After the secret agent squad finished their mission, I heard the team teasing Scarlett Grey, "Scarlett, you and the captain take it easy this time. Don’t toss the bed until it falls apart again."
"You should tell Carter to be gentler, not me." Scarlett wore a sly smile, "And don’t go spreading nonsense in front of my husband tomorrow."
Seeing her take out her cell phone, the team members exchanged knowing smirks, "What’s for your husband is love, but what’s for Captain Brooks is desire. Scarlett, you’re truly diplomatic."
The next second, my phone buzzed.
Listening to Scarlett talk about how much she missed me, my heart sank to the depths.
She didn’t know I had secretly joined the squad as their intelligence analyst, accompanying her on every mission.
I hadn’t closed my eyes the entire night when she and Carter Brooks shared their first night together.
After ending the call with Scarlett, I dialed another number. "I accept your offer. I’ll leave the squad and settle into a quiet life."
A clear, calm voice replied, "Good. After the success of the decapitation operation, we’ll leave the country together. Just three days from now."

Meanwhile, Scarlett and Carter swere still flirting in the team’s group call as if no one else existed. The others laughed, calling them ‘Mr. and Mrs.’ like it was an inside joke everyone was in on.
Carter had joined the squad three months ago. During a mission, he’d been drugged. Scarlett, ever impulsive, stepped into his room. Three whole days and nights passed before Carter emerged from the room, looking deeply satisfied. Behind him, Scarlett had a flush of shame on her face.
Not long after, Carter became the squad’s captain—thanks in no small part to Scarlett’s influence. On every mission, they were inseparable, sharing rooms at every opportunity.
I’d known all of this for a while now, but today, I still couldn’t stop the ache in my chest. With a trembling hand, I pulled up the surveillance feed of Scarlett’s room.
In the high-definition footage, she was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window by Carter, a layer of mist fogging up the glass. The two were entangled, seemingly inseparable. It wasn’t until four or five hours later that things finally came to an end.
