I never thought I’d hear from Jessica, my ex-husband’s new wife. But when she reached out, her plea for help was impossible to ignore. Her message was filled with desperation, and it brought back memories of my own struggles with Kevin.
Five years ago, my marriage ended in betrayal. Kevin was a successful businessman, but his affair shattered our life together. The final straw was a text he accidentally sent me, revealing his resentment toward me for being infertile. The divorce left me with half of his assets, including a lake house and a share in his company.
I tried to move on, but Jessica’s message changed everything. She was pregnant and scared. Kevin had pressured her to end the pregnancy, claiming he couldn’t afford a child. She begged me to help, even suggesting I return part of the settlement.
I met her, torn between anger and pity. Despite her role in my past pain, I couldn’t turn my back on her. I offered her refuge at my lake house and helped her file for divorce. Together, we uncovered Kevin’s financial misconduct, which led to the downfall of his business.
Jessica kept her baby, and we formed an unlikely bond. Kevin, on the other hand, lost everything. It was a strange twist of fate, but it brought me a sense of justice and peace. Sometimes, life has a way of setting things right.
