My husband, Jack Turner, had just gone bankrupt. And to top it off, I caught him cheating. I'd finally had enough. "I want a divorce." The words had barely left my mouth when a child's voice echoed clearly in my head. 'Oh, Mommy, no! Dad didn't cheat. He's going to be rich again so soon. 'It's all that woman's plan. She came from another world just to break you up so she can take your place. 'If you leave him, you'll lose everything. They'll trick you and abandon you... We'll both end up with nothing. And she— 'She'll be the one at Dad's side. The new Mrs. Turner. Loved. Protected. Happy. 'I waited so long in the soul queue for you, Mom. This is my second chance. Please... don't throw it away.' I blinked, stunned. Jack was just staring at me, exhausted and hollow. "Fine," he said quietly. "I'll take tomorrow morning off. We can file then." Something in me broke. My eyes filled, and a sob tore out of me. "You really don't care. You're not even fighting for me. You're just... letting me go."
