Emily caressed her belly. The baby was too small to move, but she already felt the connection with him.
“Forgive me, little one.” She spoke mentally to her unborn child. Mommy will do everything to protect you and your brother Noah.
As she drove home, she was already drawing up her plan. First, find a good lawyer. Then, contact the defrauded families. And of course, prepare a surprise for her dear husband upon his return from his business trip.
Ethan thought he was smarter than everyone, but that night he had lost the most important game of his life, and he did not even know it.
The next morning, Emily woke with a steely determination. The previous night had brought her not only proof of her husband’s infidelity, but the full scale of his crimes. She knew what she had to do.
First, she took Noah to daycare and warned the teacher that only she or Mrs. Davis could pick up the child. Ethan was not to get near their son until everything was settled.
Then, she went to her job at the health clinic and requested a leave of absence for family matters.
