At 11 PM, my husband forgot to end our call. I froze as I heard him tell my best friend, “The second her father transfers the $10 million, I’m filing for divorce.kertati” Then she whispered, “I’m pregnant.” I didn’t cry. When he came home 20 minutes later, I simply smiled and agreed to his Friday celebration dinner. He believed his wealthy new life was secured. He had no idea my father and I had already laid a trap, and what awaited him on Friday wasn’t a toast…

My father called my new line to check on me. “Kylie, are you doing all right over there?”

I looked around at the half unpacked cardboard boxes, the bare white walls, and the wide open future waiting for me without Hunter’s shadow hanging over it.

“Yes, Dad,” I answered softly, smiling to myself. “I think I finally am.”

THE END.
