It's New Year's break, and my husband insists on dragging me to a class reunion.
By the time we arrive at the hotel, most of our former classmates are already there.
They all seem to be doing well for themselves - driving Mercedes and BMWs, while I'm in a domestic economy car.
From quite a distance, I can hear someone loudly gossiping.
"I just don't get it. Cort used to be the hottest guy on campus. How did he end up marrying that ugly duckling Becca?"
When my husband hears someone insulting me, not only does he not defend me, but he eagerly joins the others for photos, deliberately leaving me off to the side.
After we've eaten and drunk our fill, the former School Belle slowly approaches me, holding my husband's hand.
"Becca, I've got my eye on your husband. Name your price."
I can't help but smirk, the corner of my mouth turning up slightly.
"You might want to think this through carefully. Divorcing me could land you in jail."

The School Belle Tries to Steal My Husband

“Becca, don't think you're above me just because you know Brent. My Lincoln family's power in New York City is undeniable!"


Hearing her words, even the usually serious Brent burst into uncontrollable laughter.


I couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so I simply held out my phone.


"You've got about fifteen minutes. Call everyone you can think of."


"Every single person who has any connection to you, Cecilia. Call them all."


"I'm a fair person. You gave me a choice before, so now I'm giving you a chance to save yourself."


Willow Cecilia's face grew increasingly pale as she glared at me, "you better think this through. If I make these calls, even with Brent here today, you'll be lucky to escape with your skin intact."


I smirked and gestured for her to proceed.


Cecilia, stubborn as ever, started dialing right in front of me."Yes, at the Imperial Grand Hotel."
