Story

The story

On the day Chloe Winters was to marry Jimmy, he ran off with Sienna, the woman he called his soulmate. For three years he sent postcards from every city, until the ninety-ninth arrived while Chloe was being pampered at home. She threw it away without a glance.

Then Jimmy stormed back, spotted her wedding photo, and accused her of cheating. Chloe laughed: she has been married for three years. Enraged, he dragged her into the street, where Sienna watched with triumph. He demanded five million dollars in rent and threatened to ruin the Winters family.

When Chloe's mother-in-law tried to shield her, Jimmy and Sienna beat them both, and Jimmy flung away her inhaler as her asthma closed her throat.

Opening excerpt

As if to taunt me, he'd send a postcard from every new city they visited—a picture of the two of them, smiling and carefree.

I was getting a manicure and enjoying macarons flown in from Paris when their ninety-ninth postcard arrived. I tossed it in the trash without a second glance. Just then, after three years of silence, Jimmy stormed back into my life.

He pointed a trembling finger at my wedding photo—the one with my actual husband—and roared, "How dare you cheat on me with some bastard while I was gone!"
