I was broken. Depression kept me barely eating, sleeping, or leaving the house.
Then my mother-in-law, Darlene, showed up with a suitcase. She knew everything. The affair had lasted over a year. Fiona was pregnant. He’d even bought a house in secret and planned to leave me.
But Darlene left him instead—and stayed with me. She helped me heal and gave me the proof and legal help I needed.
We divorced. I won the house, a strong settlement, and my freedom.
Months later, I met Marcus. When I told him my past, he said, “It proves how strong you are.”
I lost a husband and a best friend—but gained myself.
Sometimes betrayal clears the way for something better.
