“He is an adult and doesn't require your consent to be in a relationship.” “He doesn't need someone like you who is a gold digger to ruin his reputation.” Victoria growled. “The woman for him is Bridget. She possesses the heritage and elegance. Everything that you are lacking.” “She's a liar!” Annabel screamed at Bridget. “She is the one who is manipulative and jealous and she is following his money and life!” A sharp cracking sound reverberated throughout the room before she had finished speaking. Annabel stumbled backwards as Victoria's hand struck her cheek with such force that it stung and was extremely painful.

Victoria had been married twice. The first time, she had been young and foolish and desperately in love with a man who would die too soon. The wedding had been small—a courthouse, a simple white dress, flowers from the corner bodega. She had loved every imperfect moment. The second time, she had been older and wiser and terrified.
