When my ex-husband’s new wife contacted me, it reopened old wounds. Years ago, I discovered his affair through a text meant for his mistress, revealing his resentment towards me. After our divorce, I received half of everything, becoming a silent partner in his company.
His new wife, Jess, reached out desperately. Pregnant and pressured by Kevin to abort due to financial worries, she pleaded for my help. I decided to assist her, offering my lake house and legal aid instead of money. Suspecting financial misconduct, I initiated an audit of Kevin’s company, uncovering significant irregularities that caused a stir in his business.
“You’re ruining me,” Kevin lamented, but I reminded him, “You did this to yourself.” With his reputation in ruins, Jess and I bonded, supporting each other through her pregnancy. In the end, justice was served, and Kevin learned that actions have consequences.
“We women have to stick together,” I told Jess one day by the lake. She thanked me, and we forged a close friendship.
