They Touched What Was Mine
My first day back home and my husband's secretary was already flexing her muscles, trying to grab my antique right out of my hands. Before I could get a word out, she smacked me across the face. Twice. She sneered at me with a look that could freeze fire.
"This piece caught my eye, and I'm being nice to you. Better apologize and thank me, pronto!"
I moved to confront her, but before I knew it, her bodyguard had me pinned to the ground. She looked down at me like I was nothing.
"Trying to challenge me? I'm Mrs. Collins of the Collins family here in Riverton City. You're nothing! One word from my husband and you're out of here!"
Passersby started chiming in: "Aren't you going to bow down and beg? She's the apple of Mr. Collins' eye."
"Play your cards right, and maybe you'll still be scrubbing toilets in Riverton City."
I was ready to set things straight when her title hit me like a ton of bricks.
The Collins family of Riverton City? When did Eric get another wife?
I dialed Eric's number and laughed calmly. "Eric, since when did you secretly marry someone behind my back?"
