Ninety-Nine Chances, Then Goodbye

Synopsis

In our seventh year of marriage, my husband, Julian Hawthorne, fell madly for an intern, Iris Ashford. Iris was poor but determined. She refused the company shares Julian offered. "I'll earn what I want,"she said. That sentence hooked Julian for good. Everyone knew he chased the intern, forgetting me—the woman he once wooed with ninety-nine love letters. I never confronted him. Whenever he chose her over me, I destroyed a letter. When all ninety-nine were gone, I'd leave him for good.
