When my husband Timothy Sanders told me we should get a temporary divorce for the sake of the child his first love was carrying, promising he would remarry me in a grand ceremony once the baby was born, I believed him. And I waited for five years. I watched them build a perfect family with a son and a daughter, becoming the enviable model couple everyone admired. Meanwhile, I turned into the biggest joke in our social circle. Everyone mocked me for being past my prime, cast aside like a worn-out wife. It wasn't until the first birthday party for my twins that he cornered me against the wall, his eyes bloodshot, demanding in a frenzy. "Cora, who are these kids you have with?" I folded my arms and smiled charmingly, "Mr. Sanders, we got divorced a long time ago. They can't possibly be your children." At that moment, as I stared at his overcome-with-regret face, I knew my revenge had only begun.
