No one knew that I had once been briefly married to Neville Knowles, the rising star of the business world, and just as quickly divorced. No one knew that I had given birth to his daughter. Four years later, a photograph of us walking hand in hand through a field of flowers surfaced. Around the same time, I returned for a new engagement. At a press interview, I was asked, "We understand Mr. Knowles is about to be engaged. Do you have anything you would like to say to him?" I considered it briefly, then answered in a calm voice, "I'm also about to begin a new chapter. I wish him and his fiancée a long and happy marriage. And I wish us both long life." That night, Neville, who was always composed and controlled, came to my home drunk. His eyes were red as he asked me, "Who are you going to marry? I'm not dead yet. You are not allowed to marry anyone else."
