The Secrets in Their Hearts
Quietly, I asked, "Joan, do you know why I got my hands on Jonathan's riches in my previous life? Yes, my obedience played a part, but knowing all their dirt was another.
"Jonathan had AIDS. His dad got it from one of Jonathan's parties as well. I never let Jonathan sleep with me in our whole marriage. When I found out about his… condition, I agreed to have an IVF baby with Jonathan to keep the Pearson bloodline running. The riches? They were for my baby.
"I suggest you focus on the Pearsons. Coming after me is just going to be a waste of your precious little time."
Then, I smiled, went back up the stage, and held hands with Gilbert. Our fingers were entwined.
