He Brought His Mistress Home,Now He's Begging Me to Stay

For five years, Isabel Henson has believed her husband Tristan Vance cut off all contact with Vivian Blake, the foster sister he once cheated with. Then, on the drive to his family's ancestral graves for Memorial Day, he calmly tells her Vivian is back — and that the child she was supposedly forced to abort is his son.

At the family home, Vivian and the boy wait outside, and Tristan positions himself between them and Isabel. His mother takes the child's side, making clear she knew all along. When Isabel finally asks for a divorce, Tristan refuses, saying he needs an heir and she cannot have children — a cruelty rooted in the miscarriage she suffered after catching him and Vivian together, and in the loss of her mother that followed.

Surrounded by a family that has already chosen against her, Isabel must decide whether to keep forgiving the man who destroyed her, or walk away for good.
