With Arnie gone, Riley and I moved back into what was rightfully mine.

Then one night, shouting outside caught my attention. I stepped onto the porch.

“Stacy! Come back to me! Please! I have nothing left!” Arnie’s voice was raw with desperation.

I stepped forward. “You were played, Arnie. Stacy was part of my plan.”

His face twisted in confusion. “What the hell are you talking about?”

I let out a quiet laugh. “I hired her to seduce you. You were so full of yourself, you didn’t even notice you were signing everything over to me.”

His jaw clenched. “You’ll never find another man. No one will want you!”

I smirked. “Oh, I think I’ll be just fine. I look amazing, I have my life back, and I’m not weighed down by a useless husband. Meanwhile, you have nothing.”

Without another word, I turned and shut the door, locking it behind me.

I lifted Riley into my arms, holding her close. She was all I needed.
