That same week, I contacted my attorney, my notary, and my parents’ longtime financial advisor, a woman named Teresa who understood strategy better than anyone I trusted.
“What does he think belongs to him?” she asked directly.

Outside the courthouse, he smiled and said, “I am seeing Brooke tonight, and my family is celebrating.”
“I hope you get everything you deserve,” I replied calmly.
That night, he proposed to her with a ring that cost far more than his income could justify, and by morning Teresa had already identified the source of the funds.
The next day, I walked into his parents’ house carrying an urn.
“It’s the child,” I said when they asked what I was holding. “The baby I lost while he was planning his future with someone else.”
