Enrollment Day: The Betrayal I Never Saw Coming
Existance
I spend an entire year preparing to get my daughter, Quincy Lindell, into a top international school.
By the time the application review date rolls around, I have all the documents ready. I just need my wife's and my original marriage certificate to seal the deal.
However, when I reach the admissions office, my wife, Wendy, blames me for taking matters into my own hands.
I am about to explode when the school staff member says with a strange expression, "Mr. Howards, our system shows that you are not Ms. Lindell's spouse."
My blood turns to ice.
Before I can react, Zachary Shea, who has been quietly standing behind Wendy, passes his wedding certificate to the person in charge.
The school staff member nods after checking her computer. "Ms. Lindell, Mr. Shea, your certificate was validated seven and a half years ago. You can now register your child for this school."
Seven and a half years ago…
That was the date of Wendy's and my engagement party.
She held my hand in front of a room full of guests and said that I would be the only man she ever loved.
That one sentence was enough to fool me for seven years.
