- 9.
“Legally, Amelia is my wife. I had no choice
but to act that way.”
“Evelyn, if you come back, I’ll divorce her.”
Back at the hospital, I received these
messages from David. I didn’t reply. The mere
sight of his name made me nauseous. I
wouldn’t delude myself into thinking we had a
future.
David didn’t contact me again. I only saw
online that Amelia, a famous actress, had
publicly announced David as her husband. Her
fans showered them with congratulations,
while everyone else vilified me. Someone had
filmed the incident at the hospital and posted
it online. I was branded a homewrecker, a
seductress. Our wedding had been a small,
private affair, so the public knew nothing of
our relationship.
I turned off my phone, a desperate plan
forming in my mind.
David’s company’s product launch arrived
quickly. The venue was packed with reporters.
As David presented on stage, I rushed up and
grabbed the microphone.
“David Wilson lied to me for six years! He’s a
liar! And I’m not a mistress!” I scattered
L
photos across the stage pictures from our
wedding.
