Carter realizes that while he was planning a life with her, she was maintaining another one entirely. The fact that she accepted his proposal while still married cuts especially deep. Every promise she made now feels like a calculated lie.
Despite his rage, Carter finds himself emotionally paralyzed. He doesn’t know whether to confront Daphne immediately or wait for the right moment.
Exposing her secret could destroy the life she built, but staying silent feels unbearable. He wonders if revenge would bring closure or only deepen the pain.
