My Husband Married Me For Revenge
BLURB: Everyone believed Audrey Whitmore and Reid Calloway had the perfect love story.
They grew up together, fell in love, and built a marriage that everyone admired. But on the eve of their third wedding anniversary, Audrey discovers one heartbreaking secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about the man she loves.
Reid isn't the husband she believed him to be.
The marriage she treasured may have been built on lies from the very beginning.
Betrayed by the two people she trusted most, Audrey loses her love, her family, and the future she dreamed of. Forced to walk away and start over, she makes one promise to herself, she will uncover the truth, no matter how painful it is.
But every answer only leads to darker questions.
An old murder. Hidden family secrets. Missing evidence. A betrayal that began long before Audrey was born. As the past slowly comes back to life, she realizes someone has been pulling the strings from the shadows for years, turning friends into enemies and love into revenge.
Now Audrey must decide who she can trust before it's too late.
Because the closer she gets to the truth...
...the more dangerous it becomes.
And when the final mask falls, will she uncover the truth in time or discover that the greatest betrayal has been standing beside her all along?

Chapter: Chapter 61Reid's POVThane didn't say her name. He didn't have to."Blair's mother," Audrey said.It wasn't a question. She'd gone very still beside me, both hands flat on the table. I knew that posture. It was how she sat in a boardroom when the numbers were worse than she'd been told."Letters," Thane said. "Before the wedding, and for years after. I wrote them the old way because that was how I'd always written to her. Nobody else ever saw that hand.""Years after," I said. "You were married.""I was married." He looked at Audrey. "I never wrote a line I'd have been ashamed for your mother to read. That's not much of a defense. It's the only one I have.""No," Audrey said. "It isn't."She didn't raise her voice. I'd have preferred it if she had. She took her hand off the table and put it in her lap, where I couldn't see it."Where are they now?" Vivienne asked."She kept them in a cedar box in her closet. I asked her once to burn them. She said she'd sooner burn herself." Thane rubbed his th

Chapter: Chapter 60 Audrey's POV My father held the slip of paper the way you hold something that might still be hot. "Read it again," Vivienne said. "Slowly. Look at the notary stamp." He did. I leaned over his arm and saw a round seal, smudged, with a name I didn't know and a date in the spring of that year. "Harold Pruitt," Vivienne said. "He died on the ninth of April. The date on that page is the twentieth." "He could have stamped it early," Reid said. "Then it wouldn't carry a date after his funeral." She sat down across from us. "It took me nine years to find the county clerk who kept Pruitt's commission book. It took twenty more to get someone to let me photograph it. The last entry is the eighth. After that, nothing. Whoever made this used a dead man's seal and hoped nobody would check." "Twenty years," I said. "I had time. I didn't have much else." She said it flatly, without self-pity. "I wasn't trying to clear your father, Audrey. I didn't know he was your father. I was trying to fin

Chapter: Chapter 59Chapter 59 Reid's POV The box didn't ask to be opened. It sat on the table like it had been waiting longer than I'd been alive, and none of us moved toward it. "You said you've been collecting this for thirty years," I said. "Start there." "I said I'd been collecting what you'd need." Vivienne pulled a chair back. "Not everything. You collect what you can carry and you bury the rest, and you hope the burying holds." "It didn't hold," Thane said. "That's why we're in your kitchen at one in the morning." "Don't lecture me about burying things, Thane. You buried a woman. I buried a brother." The room went still. "Our mother," I said. "You said I have her eyes." "You do." Vivienne looked at me, softer now. "Her name was Elise. She died when you were four days old. Not in childbirth. After. There was a fire at the house where she was staying, past the county line, and everyone who could have told the story differently died with her." "Except you," Audrey said. "Except me. I was

Chapter: Chapter 58 Audrey's POV The lake house sat at the end of a road that hadn't seen a grader in years, gravel giving way to dirt, dirt giving way to grass grown up through the ruts. My father drove, which surprised me, until I understood he didn't trust either of us to find it in the dark and didn't trust himself to stay behind while we tried. Nobody spoke for the better part of the hour. Reid sat beside me in the back seat with the folded birth record still in his jacket pocket, and every few minutes I felt him reach up and touch it through the fabric, like he needed to keep confirming it hadn't disappeared, hadn't turned out to be some elaborate cruelty invented for one long, terrible night. "You don't have to talk," I said finally, quiet enough that my father couldn't hear over the engine. "But you don't have to not talk either. Whatever you're doing right now, I'm here for it." "I keep trying to remember if I ever looked like him," Reid said. "My father. The one who raised me. I used to th

Chapter: Chapter 56Audrey's POVFor a moment none of us breathed."That's not funny," Reid said. Quiet. Too quiet, the way he got when something had actually landed instead of just glanced off him."I'm not laughing." My father sank back into the chair he'd knocked over earlier, righted now, though he looked like it might tip again under him at any second. "I'm not saying it to hurt you. I'm saying it because I think it might finally be time someone did.""Explain it," I said. "Now. All of it, in order, the way you should have thirty years ago."He pressed both hands flat against the desk like he needed the wood to hold him up."The summer before you were born," he started, looking at me but clearly speaking past me, into the past. "I told you there was a girl at the lake house. Vivienne's mother. What I didn't tell you is that she wasn't the only complication that year." His eyes finally lifted to Reid. "Your father and I built something together before either of us built anything with our wives. Befor

Chapter: Chapter 55 Reid's POV Nobody moved for three rings. Thane stood frozen by the toppled chair, staring toward the staircase like the sound itself might come down the steps and get a good look at him before he had to answer for anything. Audrey had gone rigid beside me, her hand tightening in mine hard enough that I felt her pulse in it. "Whose line is that," I said. "My study." His voice had lost whatever composure the last ten minutes had cost him. "A direct number. Unlisted. It was disconnected eleven years ago. I had it disconnected myself." "Then someone reconnected it." He didn't answer that. He was already moving, faster than I'd have credited a man his age with, and we followed him up the stairs two at a time, the ringing growing louder the closer we got, insistent, patient, like whoever was on the other end had all night and knew it. The study door was open. It was never open. Thane kept it locked even when the house was empty, I'd learned that much just from the number of times Au
