Her fifth daughter died, so she deleted his bloodline. novel Chapter 48

Chapter 3

I sat alone in the living room until morning.

By the time light slipped through the windows, I had found the prenuptial agreement in the drawer, its crisp edges now slightly worn from years of being buried and forgotten.

Julian’s signature scrawled across the bottom of the page.

I traced the fine print and found the expiration date, one month out.

Julian and Leo hadn’t come back. I buried myself in work and performed over a dozen surgeries one after another.

I had no desire to go back to that cold, empty house anyway.

He crossed the stage and pulled Tiffany to her feet, murmuring to her.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. It’s all a misunderstanding.”
