Leaving Him Was The Easiest Part

Synopsis

"Emily, stop being difficult. Claire just got back to the country and she isn't in good health, so what's wrong with letting her have the brooch?" Ethan seized my hand, tore it away from my chest, and took the brooch from me. He didn't hesitate for a moment as he pinned it onto Claire's dress. The guests around us stared, their eyes heavy with judgment that pressed down on me from every direction. That brooch had been the first gift he ever gave me on our wedding day seven years ago. I looked at the impatience in his expression, and suddenly, I laughed. Fine. She could have it. And she could have the man as well.
