As the only child of the capital's top power, my return was destined to make waves. Everyone with even a shred of status began making preparations, desperate to curry favor with the elusive Henson heiress.
At the same time, another piece of news began circulating—Jackson Sharp and I were divorcing.
Jackson was a rising force in the capital, someone not to be underestimated, so the dissolution of his marriage was equally explosive. To make matters worse, Amy Kemp was secretly leaking the fact that she was pregnant with his child.
Jackson's circle of rich friends began whispering, trying to verify the rumors.
"Is it really a divorce?"
"No way. She's such a sensible woman. Sure, she doesn't have much status or background, but she handles everything perfectly—even the mistresses. How could he bear to let go of a wife like that?"
"It has to be fake, right? Is sister-in-law playing hard to get again? Jackson, just coax her a bit. Though, I have to say, you've been playing too hard lately. How could you let another woman get pregnant?"
Unfortunately for them, Jackson responded to none of it.
