With that, Alston hung up in anger.
“You shouldn’t answer my phone.”
Alston whipped around, rushing over and grabbed my hand.
“You’re awake! Jesus. You lost so much blood–I was losing my mind.”
I stared at him in silent.
“Are you pissed at me? Don’t be like that,please. I couldn’t even see you from where I was standing.”
“I only spotted you after I pulled Ella away. If I’d known you were there too, I swear I would’ve gotten to you first!”
I suddenly realized I could no longer separate his truths from his lies.
How pathetic. After five years, this man should have been the one I trusted completely. Yet now he
felt like a total stranger.
The man I’d fallen for had rotted away, beyond recognition.
“I’m tired,” I shut my eyes, not wanting to look at his face anymore.
“OK then, Get some rest. I need to handle something at work. Back soon sweetie.”
He’d barely been gone five minutes when my phone buzzed with another video from Ella.
In it, she hung on Alston’s arm, beaming up at him. “So you’re really giving everything to Edward and Lynn?”
“Sure. Papers are drawn up. At the gala, I’ll sign them in front of everyone. Edward and Lynn will be my only heirs.”
“Edward gets the company, and Lynn gets half the properties, plus all the jewelry currently owned by my mother and Alani.”
Those jewelry pieces were worth millions each–a collection worth more than most people earn in a

lifetime.
Ella couldn’t hide her smugness, though she tried to sound concerned. “Will Alani agree? They aren’t her kids. What if she wants her own baby someday…”
“It’s not gonna Irappened. Edward and Lynn will be her only children. There’s no choice for her. I won’t allow her to have kids. She will raise Edward and Lynn as her own.”
“Ella, I can’t give you marriage or my full love, but I promise you–everything I own goes to our
children!”
“Alani might have my heart, but you and the twins get everything else!”
The video ended. I gripped my phone so hard my knuckles turned white.
He’d stolen my uterus, and now expected me to raise his bastards!
Fine. FINE. Alston, so this is your version of love…
I took a deep breath and called Fion.
“The papers ready? Take them to Alston. Now.
“He’s holding a gala tonight to announce he’s giving all propety to those twins.

“Find the venue. Get there before he makes his speech and make him sign those divorce papers.
“He can give his half to whoever he wants, but I’d rather dump my share in the Thames than let those son of bitches touch a penny of it.”
After hanging up, I got a text from the team I’d hired to erase my existence: [All preparations complete. Ready when you are.]
For the first time in days, I felt myself smile.
I sent them my location. Within half an hour, they arrived to escort me out. With their help, I boarded a plane heading far from London.
Before takeoff, I forwarded every single video Ella had sent me directly to Alston. [Don’t bother apologizing. I won’t forgive you.]
Then I dropped my phone in the trash and walked onto the plane without looking back.

Meanwhile, Alston’s gala was in full swing.
The ballroom glittered with London’s elite. Camera crews had set up in the corners, waiting for the
big announcement.
“Thank
you all for taking time from your busy schedules to join us tonight, I’ve invited you here to
share some important news.
“Some of you may have heard rumors. Recently, my wife Alani and I adopted twins
“I’ve always believed adopted children deserve the same rights as biological ones. So tonight, in front of you all, I’m announcing that all assets of Wilson Enterprises will be transferred to-”

Before he could finish, Fion Davies burst through the crowd and shouted: “Mr. Wilson! I represent
Alani Taylor. Your wife is divorcing you!
“These are divorce papers. She’s instructed me to have you sign them immediately!”
