My husband, Ethan Foster, was photographed at a maternity center. Every media outlet was speculating about who the mother of the Foster Group CEO's illegitimate child could be. I just stared at my phone with a blank expression and turned it off. Ethan spoke in a flat tone: "Right now is a critical time for Stella's career. She can't afford any scandals." "So?" I looked up at him, my gaze steady. "So tomorrow, you need to show up at the maternity center and claim that child as yours. After a while, Stella will take the baby back." Listening to Ethan's commanding tone, I smiled bitterly. So even now, all he cared about was Stella Quinn's career. Seeing my silence, Ethan did what he always did—he handed me a check. "Fill in whatever amount you want. But you must claim this child as yours." I froze for two seconds. Instead of taking the check, I went to the bedroom and pulled out a document I'd prepared long ago and handed it to him. Before I could say a word, Ethan flipped to the last page without hesitation and signed it. He had no idea that what I'd given him was a divorce agreement.
