My fiancé, Simon Shaw, kept a mistress named Nina Summers in his private estate. Her eyes were an eight-out-of-ten match for mine. Simon bought Nina the finest jewelry and took her around the world on his private jet. But he never once allowed her to cross my path. Everyone in our circle knew I was where he drew the line. Simon even assigned four bodyguards to my cat, just because I once casually mentioned I was afraid it might wander off. But this time, Nina, having grown bold on his indulgence, had learned to fight back. She uploaded a sex tape of her and Simon into the slideshow for our wedding. Nina said, "Ms. Sinclair, I know I'm a sidekick. But Mr. Shaw replaced your vitamins with sleeping pills just to see me. "While you were busy preparing for your wedding, Mr. Shaw kept increasing the dose, making sure you took them, all so he could be with me all night." In that moment, I realized that the boy who once would do anything for me was long gone. I wiped away my tears, closed the video, and dialed the number I locked away for years. I said, "Seven days later, I'm going to turn our wedding into a funeral. And he'll never find me again."
