My superstar husband always joked that ever since I got pregnant, I wasn't as sharp as I used to be. He claimed I was stuck in a baby-brain fog for ages. So, if I wanted to spend more than ten bucks, I would have to get his autograph for approval. On a stormy night, my daughter Emily had a high fever and started having seizures. I completely forgot about the rules of our secret marriage. I barged into his wrap party. I dropped to my knees, begging him for seven thousand dollars in cash to pay for Emily's medical bills. But he shoved me hard into the mud. "How many times do I have to say it? There's a process for spending money. If you can save her, do it. If not, just let her die!" he snapped. I lifted my head from the muddy ground, completely humiliated. And right then, on the giant screen downtown, I saw he'd just dropped 15 million on a trending announcement for himself and some rising starlet.
