Warm Nova
The night before Christmas, my husband makes it official with his 49th mistress.
"Love of my life, @TiffanyVale."
"Love of my life, @RomanBlackwell."
Then he turns to me and tries to smooth it over. "She lost a dare. Don't take it to heart."
Everyone laughs at me, but I don't make a scene.
What they don't know is that I have a deal with the System. Every time Roman cheats, a year of his life transfers to me. By now, his 80 years are down to just one.
All I have to do is make it past New Year's, and he drops dead of natural causes. Then I can take our three children and inherit the Blackwell family's trillion-dollar fortune.
