Chapter 21: Paid Wife

Fifty people looked at me.

Some of them already had their phones up.

The screens were pointed at the blue cover in Teresa's hand.

Leo stepped forward.

"Mom, that's enough."

"Is it?" Teresa didn't lower the document. "You wanted the truth in front of everyone. Here it is. She was paid for. You can't buy a woman like that a year of your name and then pretend she's a saint."

I waited for the floor to open.

It didn't.

"Yes," I said. "I signed it."

The room murmured.

"I'm not going to stand in Blythe's living room and explain my mother to you," I said to Teresa. "You don't get to hear about her."

I picked my print up off the gift table, next to the foam pillow and the ring.

I put it back in the folder.

Then I walked out of the townhouse past fifty people and down the steps to the car.

Leo was a step behind me the whole way.

Neither of us said anything in the car.

At the hotel, I lay on the bed in my navy dress and stared at the ceiling.

He sat in the chair by the window and watched his phone light up, over and over.

By midnight, the pictures were everywhere.
