My Husband, Her Safety Net

Synopsis

When Peter Hayes started with nothing, I endured the hard days with him. We even slept under overpasses. When he rose to glory, he proposed to me at twenty-two, swearing I would be the only love of his life. Thirty years into our marriage, I found an insurance policy in the nightstand drawer. The beneficiaries were his first love Emily Lane and her child. I confronted him. He kissed my cheek. "Emily and I are old friends. Her husband died young. "This will give them some security." I pulled out the old note he'd written, promising me a wedding gift. "So she's got her guarantee. Where's mine?" I asked.
