Report
In the fifth year of our marriage, my husband, Adrian Holt, said he wanted to make up for never giving me a proper honeymoon. Then the plane went down, and Adrian demanded that I give the only parachute to Wendy Shaw, his first love. I stared at him in disbelief. "Adrian, don't forget your daughter is on this plane too." He apologized gently and said Annie was his precious little girl and should come first. It turned out to be a false alarm. The plane landed safely, and afterward Adrian protected me the way he always had. But the very next day, he had our daughter stripped naked and tied to an unmanned plane. With Wendy in his arms, he looked at me coldly. "Claire, if you hadn't insisted on giving the parachute to Annie, Wendy wouldn't have been so frightened that she had nightmares all night. "If you care about your daughter so much, then let her suffer a little and learn her lesson." I looked at him without expression. Then I turned away and called Adrian's biggest rival. "You've always wanted to bring Adrian Holt down, haven't you? Marry me. We'll do it together."

I made Adrian kneel at my daughter's grave and apologize to her.He wouldn't do it."Claire, if Annie were alive, she wouldn't want you turning into this."Adrian, lecturing me. The irony of it.I opened a video.Annie was standing at the edge of the garden, talking in that small serious way of hers."Mommy, if I give Daddy all these flowers, will he like me then?"When's Daddy going to take me to the amusement park? Katie and the others have all been. I'm the only one who hasn't."Mommy, does Daddy hate me? How come he never picks me up?"Her little voice went through him like a blade.The wind came across the cemetery, and only then did Adrian realize he was crying.His legs went out from under him and he dropped to his knees in front of her stone.He looked up at the small face on it.And it occurred to him, all at once, that he had never once reached out and held his daughter. Not a single time.When she called him, he sent it to voicemail.He told her he was busy wi

Adrian looked at Wendy with nothing in his eyes.I didn't interrupt.She took his hand and pressed it flat against her stomach."Adrian, everything I did was for our baby."I never meant for Annie to die. Don't be angry with me. Please?"He threw her hand off. His face was ice.It was the first time I'd ever seen him lose his temper with her."Wendy, you went too far."I no longer wanted to watch this unfold.I clapped my hands and told them to put the parachute on her."Mr. Holt has given the parachute to his wife. So put it on, Wendy, and jump."Her hands were shaking."Claire, you want me dead, don't you? You've done something to it."She turned to Adrian."Where are your bodyguards? Get them up here. She's going to let me fall."Wendy was carrying a Holt child, and even now it softened him."Claire, let her go. She's pregnant."I didn't answer.I held half of Holt Group in my hands, and I was making him choose."If Wendy won't do it, then I assume these shares do

On the day Adrian married Wendy, I walked in with Victor on my arm.Adrian reached out to touch my face."Claire, why would you fake your death? Did it never occur to you I'd be worried?"The hypocrisy was almost impressive.I laughed at him and asked him one thing."Annie is dead. Do you believe me now?"His fingers stopped in the air.I closed the distance and slapped him backhanded across the face."That one is for my daughter."Adrian Holt, you never deserved to be her father."His arms went slack at his sides.He hadn't understood how much I hated him.I clapped my hands, and the screen above the stage lit up with a video of the two of them wound together.The date on it was from while I was carrying Annie.The room broke into noise."So much for the devoted husband and father.""Everyone knew he had a first love he kept on a pedestal. He made his wife's life hell over her."Adrian moved toward the booth to stop it.He couldn't.The screen changed, and there was

Adrian learned I was dead late that night.A phone with a shattered screen had been recovered, and with it the engraved gold bracelet everyone in his world knew belonged to Mrs. Holt. He couldn't argue with that.He called the housekeeper."I told you to keep an eye on her. Didn't I tell you?"His eyes were bloodshot. Something violent sat underneath the anger.Then he remembered our daughter."Go check on Annie. Don't tell her about her mother."Gerald hesitated."Sir, Annie died. Mrs. Holt brought her ashes home."But yesterday Miss Shaw wanted to plant something, and you gave her the urn to use for it."Adrian refused to believe it.He refused to believe our daughter was dead, and he refused to believe he'd been the one who killed her.The pain went through his chest like a needle, and he couldn't think of a single thing that would make it stop.That night, Adrian got drunk and called my number over and over again.Nobody answered.Eventually he laughed at the phone.
