The Storm Begins with a Whisper
Four years after marrying Wesley Coleman, Emma Payne is expecting a baby.
She shows up at the hospital with her forms to get registered, but when the nurse runs her info, she tells her that the marriage certificate isn't valid.
Emma simply can't believe it. "No way. That can't be right."
The nurse taps on the stamp. "Look at that. The seal is all crooked, and the code doesn't check out."
Emma isn't convinced yet. She rushes to the courthouse, but they tell her the same thing.
"Mr. Coleman is married, and his spouse's name is Sandra Payne."
The news hits her like a ton of bricks. Her mind just goes blank.
Sandra Payne is Emma's half-sister. Worst of all, she is also Wesley's first love.
Years ago, she went abroad to chase her dreams. She never showed up to her own wedding and left Wesley heartbroken. And now, she is actually his legal wife.
