“You want revenge on The Heartstones. I want something as well, while the Heartstones fall before your eyes.”

I frown, meditatively. A sick excitement courses through me.

“What do you want?” I ask, unable to suppress my enthusiasm. The thought of Regan and his family destroyed, thrilling. 

“I need a wife and pregnancy, so that my father can hand over the entire business to me.” 

I frown, wondering what that has to do with me. 

“Marry me tomorrow and sign an agreement to get pregnant for me. Then watch the first wave of The Heartstones’ devastation.”

Thursday, July 31st. A week later…

It hurts to see the entire media talking about one's husband and his lover. Everywhere I turn it's photos of Malachi and Billy. We're being chewed on the media.

Neither I nor Malachi have come out to refute the media's claims. Yet it seems their speculations are true. Because each time they throw these allegations, a new picture pops up about my husband and his lover.

Is this what Malachi felt when I was having an affair with Regan? The only difference is while mine was done behind closed doors, Malachi's is done openly. It feels awful.

Sometimes I wake up and don't want to go out. I want to stay cooped up in the house. But I can't stay cooped up.
