Story

The story

After filing for divorce for the seventh time, Aurora sees wedding photos of her husband Karl with his young assistant, Katie, posted online. Karl calls, begging her to withdraw the divorce and come home, claiming their daughter misses her. But Aurora has already moved on with a new man, Julian, and the divorce is final.

Karl arrives with their daughter, who now calls Katie "Mommy," and publicly proposes to Katie with a massive diamond ring while a crowd brands Aurora the other woman. Aurora silently documents everything and blocks them both. She has no time for their drama; she is preparing to leave the country with Julian.

Her last task before departing is an auction for an island holding the only clue to her parents' disappearance. But when the bidding begins, Karl's employee presents her stolen proposal, and Katie's earlier threat proves real. Aurora's research and plan have been taken from her.

Opening excerpt

An hour later, wedding photos of my husband and his young assistant appeared on my feed. Her hand was intertwined with his, showcasing his elegant fingers.

The caption read: Legally, logically, lovingly yours.

I clicked his profile—the first “like”—and instantly blocked him.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
