Chapter 1

At a college reunion, my wife Brittany ran into her first love, Leonardo.

What I never expected was that after the party, all three of us got kidnapped.

When I opened my eyes again, we were locked inside an abandoned warehouse, with several countdown bombs strapped to my body.

They tried dozens of times and still couldn't disarm them.

With nothing left to hope for, I sat bound to a chair, ready to face death alongside my wife.

But instead, she and Leonardo were clinging to each other in tears.

"Leonardo," she sobbed, "if we'd both been a little braver back then, we'd already be married by now. I never got you out of my heart. I'm still a virgin because of you."

"Brittany, stop crying. If this is our last day, I want to make up for everything we lost."

With those words, Leonardo pulled my wife into a deep kiss. Then the two of them walked to the corner of the warehouse and started having sex.

My heart felt like it was being torn apart. I sat there, waiting for death with nothing but grief and despair.

Half an hour later, they stood before me with their clothes in disarray.

The countdown on the bombs reached zero, but nothing exploded.

Then the door swung open, and a group of friends walked in.

"Brittany, you finally let go of all that baggage."

"If we hadn't staged the whole kidnapping, would you two have ever opened up to each other?"
