On the day of our sixth wedding anniversary, Desmond Cardenas answered a phone call—then walked back and slammed a divorce agreement down on the dining table. "Macey's back. It's time for you to step aside," he said. I signed without hesitation and walked away with nothing. He offered me a 250,000-dollar settlement, even as he suggested I could stay—if I didn't mind playing the background figure in his life with Macey Valentine. He still thought I was the same helpless, penniless girl he once married. What he didn't know was that my father was Alexander Murphy, the man whose name was stamped across half the private hospitals in this city. And he had no idea that the 8-million-dollar lifeline that saved his company had come from my father.
