When I learned my husband, Clyde Garner, was cheating, I didn't explode. I was just stunned. I had played the role of pampered trophy wife too long to walk away from this gilded life. His mistress was my best friend since childhood, Joanna Clark, who was also married. They thought they hid it well. However, even the best lies cracked somewhere. Divorce? Please. That had never been an option. I was not giving my daughter a "broken family" just because her dad cheated. Taking down the mistress myself seemed more satisfying. Joanna flaunted a limited-edition lipstick, grinning like she'd won the lottery. She said, "My husband gave it to me for my birthday. Isn't the color perfect for me?" Her eyes sparkled with triumph and something uglier. Well, I'd seen that lipstick before in Clyde's car. He said it was a gift for a client. However, I recognized the tiny scratch I accidentally left at the base.
