On our first wedding anniversary after remarrying, I snuck into my husband Charles Ford's hotel with a bouquet of roses, ready to surprise him during his business trip. Instead, I walked in on him throwing an extravagant birthday party for his first love, Vivian White. He was sliding the signature Ford family bracelet onto her wrist. A guest who didn't know the whole story asked, "If Mr. Ford loves Ms. White so much, wasn't it perfect when Susan found out about their affair and filed for divorce? Why did he spend six months chasing after her and convince her to remarry him?" Someone nearby laughed and answered, "Chase her back? Please. The whole thing was just Vivian's idea of entertainment. "When Susan filed for divorce, it blew up online, and Vivian got torn apart in the comments for months. She was pissed, so she had Mr. Ford fake the whole reconciliation act. Susan fell for it completely and thought he actually wanted her back. She only lasted six months before she caved and agreed to remarry him. "This past year, Vivian's gotten really creative with how she messes with Susan. She had Mr. Ford give her a knockoff dress to wear to a gala so she'd embarrass herself. Then she convinced him to take Susan diving even though she can't swim, and they filmed her drowning and sent it around for everyone to watch. Honestly, it's been entertaining. "Today's their first anniversary, so I bet Vivian's got something new planned. I can't wait to see what it is." My blood ran cold, but I didn't burst through the doors crying and screaming. Instead, I decided to fake my own death. Charles, you've been playing me this whole time. Now it's my turn to play you.
