No Echos

Synopsis

Everyone in The Bay Society knew that I, the first wife of Lucas Grant—the Heir of the Bay Society—was famous for my patience. His flings and affairs could stretch from Kingston District all the way to Riverside Quarter, but I never even raised my voice at him. And what he gave me in return was the certainty that, no matter how wild he got out there, my place as his first wife was rock solid and untouchable. Until one day, he brought home a girl who bore an uncanny resemblance to my sister. That was the moment I realized—my happy days were numbered. Sure enough, as soon as he walked in with a cigarette dangling from his lips, he gave me a cold, heartless look and said, "Lily's young and easily embarrassed. She doesn't want to be called a homewrecker or have people talking behind her back. You move out and let her stay here. Once the paparazzi start treating her like the real Mrs. Grant, I'll find her another place." I put down the scissors, looked at the timid girl standing behind him, and let out a laugh. "Why make it so complicated? Let's just get a divorce."
