As Shane Griffin pushed the divorce papers toward me, I was still trying to clean the red wine stain from my dress, a gift from his new flame. "Sign it," he said carelessly. "Wouldn't want to upset my rising star." How simple he made it sound. Five years of marriage, reduced to a scrap of paper he could discard at will. I signed without a word and watched as he turned to brag to his friends. "Stella Xander is head over heels for me. She'll be begging to come back by tomorrow." That signature was my parting gift. Not that a man like him would recognize mercy when he saw it.
