LOGIN"You can give everything to a man—your time, your love, your life—but if you’re not the woman he wants, none of it matters." I wish I had known that before. Almost ten years of marriage. And now here he is — ready to leave me, take my son, and marry my sister. And worse? He’s making the world believe I’ve gone mad. Seven years. Seven years of sacrificing. Of putting him first, of trying to be the wife he said he needed. And now? I’m locked away, labeled crazy. The whole of Atlanta is praying for me. Because they all think I’ve broken down. That I’m sick. And that lie? It’s his. My sisters’. My parents’. My best friends’. Even my sons’. Yes — the boy I raised like mine. He made a video. Said I fell down the stairs, and that’s what triggered all this. It’s viral now. But it's not the entire truth; it’s just the story they needed. I gave them everything. Held this family together. Played every role — wife, mother, daughter, friend. I was everything… well, everything until she came back. Now that their perfect girl is home, I’m just in the way. And the best way to erase me? Label me unstable. Even my son wants her to be his mom. My husband? He says I was never the one. The truth is, they never really wanted me. Well, not until…

Straight to our room.The party was at the resort Rodrigo bought us the first time we got together, so only our friends, family and colleagues were here. The children, including Millie and Miles's kids, were being babysat by Anthony, Maggie, Rodrigo’s mother, and my mother, who, honestly, stood around like a statue because she barely knew anything about kids.We were staying here for the weekend, doing couple's activities. Most invited guests were couples too.The moment we slipped away from the crowd, Rodrigo kissed me. We walked blindly toward our room, lips locked, barely pulling away long enough to open the door before falling right back into it. I already had my hands on his shirt collar, and his were roaming across my back.Alright, it was not okay that we were missing the proposal, but if you have a one-year-old, then you understand how
V A L E R I AIt was amazing how life can surprise you with so much joy that you forget all the pain.I must admit, seeing Rodrigo leave that day while I was in labour terrified me. I thought I had lost him, that our story ended before it even began.There was no excuse. I lied to him again and again. But as soon as the babies were born, he came back. And before I could even apologise, he did, telling me he knew all along. Which was both embarrassing and incredibly sweet, that he never confronted me… that he left it in my hands.I was prepared to give him a divorce. They had just announced the winner, Paula herself came to see me and congratulated me. She was apparently grateful that even the two cities she rigged didn’t affect the outcome. The team’s hard work, my hard work, was what made us win.Well, I was about to ask Rodrigo what he wanted to do when the two nurses came in with the babies and the identity bracelets. They knew our special case, so they had four. They put one on me
| FOUR YEARS ON |R O D R I G OI stared at the passage I had just pasted on the fridge. There was literally no room, as there were so many achievements posted here. This is where we displayed everything, and this new addition was an article on Anthony from Forbes, who had just earned the youngest rising billionaire title in Georgia at just twenty-two. I was very proud.He had taken over the company and had opened several others in the past few years. He got married to Maggie and had their three-year-old, my grandchild. I helped from home in the first years, but later he did everything on his own, and I focused on raising the children while my wife worked, chasing her career.“Hehe, heh heh.” I heard giggling from the living room and remembered it was the twins. They had been giving me a hard time since this morning, they refused to nap.All they wanted to do was eat and run around like the little kids they were, but I was very exhausted.Staying up all night taking care of our one-ye
R O D R I G OAbout two months ago, after making our marriage official, I went to pick Valeria up at her office so we could go for our honeymoon. It was my chance to win her heart. I thought to just take her for a romantic dinner. I didn’t want to come on too strong since this marriage happened thanks to the mysterious person who said it was for politics.On my way, I received a call from a detective, Presley. She told me Valeria was pregnant and even sent proof of her being in the hospital. I didn’t have a reason not to believe it. She had moved on. It’s been seven years. I didn’t expect her to wait for me all these years when I’m the one who messed up.I spoke to my assistant, Jennifer. I admit I was a little discouraged at first, especially that she didn’t tell me, but she made me understand that Valeria needed her time.That didn’t necessarily mean we were over.
