The moment I turned away and closed the door, my heart sank to new depths.
My husband was having an affair with our housekeeper.
It had been going on for at least

Not to see him – but to visit the parking garage.

“Mr. CEO, I’ve sent Emma’s monthly allowance.”
“Good. Her power was out last night have someone check on that.”
“Sure thing. By the way, she wants that pearl necklace you were going to give Autumn.

Chris sighed. “Man, who puts their mistress in their house as the housekeeper?”
Ryan was quiet for a moment before saying softly, “Autumn’s sick. She needs someone to
look after her.”
