Life has a way of bringing the past back when you least expect it. I thought I had moved on from my divorce, but then Jessica, my ex-husband’s new wife, reached out to me. Her message was urgent, and it pulled me back into a world I thought I had left behind.
Five years ago, my marriage to Kevin ended in betrayal. He was a successful businessman, but his affair shattered our life together. The final blow came when he accidentally sent me a text meant for his mistress, expressing his resentment toward me for being unable to have children. The divorce left me with half of his assets, including a lake house and a stake in his company.
I tried to move on, but Jessica’s message changed everything. She was pregnant and desperate. Kevin had demanded she terminate the pregnancy, claiming he couldn’t afford a child. She begged me for help, even suggesting I return part of the settlement.
I met her, torn between anger and compassion. Despite the pain she had caused me, I couldn’t ignore her plight. I offered her a safe place to stay and helped her file for divorce. Together, we exposed Kevin’s manipulation and financial misconduct, which led to the collapse of his business.
Jessica kept her baby, and we formed an unexpected friendship. Kevin lost everything, and I found closure. Sometimes, life has a way of setting things right.
