5 minutes after the divorce, I flew abroad with my two kids. Meanwhile, all seven members of my ex-in-law’s family had gathered at the maternity clinic to hear his mistress’s ultrasound results, but the doctor’s words left them stunned.

David smirked, a look of triumph crossing his face. “Commendable. You’re finally catching on to your station, Catherine.”

“What isn’t yours, you eventually have to return,” Megan added, fueling the fire of her brother’s arrogance.

I didn’t offer a rebuttal. Instead, I reached back into my bag and produced two navy blue passports. I fanned them out like a winning hand at a high-stakes table. “David, the visas were finalized last week. I’m taking Aiden and Chloe to London. Permanently.”wrk
