Pregnancy should’ve been a joyful time, but it became a nightmare. My husband Alex mocked my changing body, then left me for another woman—Susie. I was eight months pregnant when he threw divorce papers at me and proudly introduced her.
What he didn’t know? Susie was part of my plan.
While Alex thought he’d moved on, Susie and I were quietly working together. She helped protect me and set the stage for my comeback. When Riley was born, everything—house, finances—was in my name. He’d unknowingly signed it all away.
Alex came crawling back, only to realize the truth.
“You gave it all away,” I told him. “Susie was never yours—she was my shield.”
That day, I closed the door on him and my past. I didn’t just survive heartbreak—I reclaimed my life.
