Betrayal: My Husband's Mistress Wanted My Life, I Took His EmpireChapter 1

After Justin Simmons cheated on me,

he needed to give his mistress a title.

So for the nineteenth time, he sat across from me and asked for a divorce.

"The house and the cars go to you. Assets split fifty-fifty. What more could you possibly want?"

"Louisa Payne," Justin said, exhaustion carved into every line of his face as he looked at me. "She's pregnant."

"When the baby comes, it can't be born without a legitimate name. Can you think about me for once?"

I studied him. From the affair, to trying to force me out with nothing, to today, when he'd finally made concessions. I laughed.

"Honey," I said, my smile thin, my voice barely above a whisper. "My answer hasn't changed."

"You want my signature? Over my dead body."

——

"Louisa!"

Justin's voice cracked upward. He shoved to his feet and roared at me.

"If you're so eager to die,"

"then sign the damn papers first!"

He kicked the chair over and closed the distance between us, fisting the collar of my shirt.

"I've already bent over backward for you. What more do you want?"

"What more do you want?!"

"You'd rather drag me down with you, is that it?"

"Louisa!"
