Seven years I spent chasing Charles, and at last he cut ties with all his flings and threw me a huge wedding. Everyone said I'd finally caught a break, and they were jealous I'd landed Jelasburg's biggest playboy. But on our tenth anniversary, I accidentally stumbled upon Charles's diary. It was filled with notes about all his past flames. Under my photo, he wrote, [Perfect for having kids and keeping the house in order.] But under the photo of the girl he once helped out when she was struggling with schooling, it said, [I only want to grow old with you.] Every page after that was plastered with pictures of her and Charles together. Suddenly, it hit me that he'd always loved someone else. When Charles finally came home in the middle of the night with a cake, I hit him with a divorce out of the blue. He raised an eyebrow and let out a mocking laugh. He said, "Trying to get a rise out of me with this stunt? It just makes you look cheap." I stayed silent. What he didn't know was that I had already booked tickets for my daughter and me to Paliston.
