In the eighth year of my husband Alex Holland's return to the family, his mistress finally gave up waiting and got married. Alex drank himself into a stomach bleed at a bar. He held my hand and spent the entire night telling me how sorry he was to Ember. Ember Pike was the mistress he had kept on the side. I had waited through the years, watching her fade from a fresh-faced young lady to one with fine lines etching her face. Now she could wait no more. She hurried into marriage, and the next day was supposed to be her wedding. Ember had deliberately chosen my wedding anniversary with Alex for the day, to spite me. She wanted to tell me she wasn't the loser in this tug-of-war between us. But I had been waiting for this day for a long time, too. I sent the video of Ember and Alex to her in laws and then filed for divorce from Alex.
