Six months after our divorce, my ex-husband called to invite me to his wedding. I told him, “I just gave birth. I’m not going anywhere.” Thirty minutes later, he showed up in my hospital room wearing his wedding suit… and with a face white with terror.

His face burned crimson with humiliation.

“You used Emma’s trust?”

“Dad, I can explain—”

“You forged Bennett family documents?”

Vanessa burst into tears.

“We just wanted to be together!”

Margaret looked at her with absolute disgust.

“Take off that necklace. It belonged to Emma.”

Vanessa instinctively grabbed her throat.

Two security guards stepped forward.

And that was when she completely lost control.

“He told me Emma was finished!” she screamed hysterically. “He said she’d never understand the accounts, that she’d never return to the company, that she didn’t matter anymore!”

Adrian spun toward her furiously.

“Shut up!”

But by then it was already over.

That same night, the wedding was canceled.
