My Wedding Day Ended With My Mother’s Murder

Leon Hartman was once poor, and Claire's mother paid him four million dollars to leave her daughter. He took the money, rose through New York's elite, and then signed everything over to Claire, swearing to make her the happiest woman alive. On their wedding day he left her waiting twelve hours; the news that arrived instead was that his adopted sister, Lila Young, had run over Claire's mother and killed her. Claire held a dagger to her own throat until Lila was sentenced to five years.

Four years into the marriage, an anonymous post about repeated abortions leads Claire to a truth she was never meant to see: Lila was never really imprisoned, and Leon has been with her all along. A locked system opens to the date of Lila's sentencing, revealing fifteen hundred photographs and a letter. When Claire confronts him, he leaves at the first buzz of his phone.

Claire has Lila brought to her own house, and as the blade hovers over her enemy's pregnant belly, a fierce force shoves her wrist aside.
