I had been stuck in a loveless marriage with Julian Carter for five years. I was forced into this marriage because Julian couldn't defy his elders. After we got married, he made sure to get back at me—speeding around in flashy cars, hooking up with girls, splashing his name across every tabloid headline, and turning me into the joke of our circle. At the family dinner, Julian showed up with yet another pretty, sweet actress on his arm. Same old move. He was just waiting to see me go hysterical and fall apart in front of everyone. But I didn't. This time, I kept my cool. Instead, I just smiled and told Julian, "You sure know how to pick them."
