The Wedding Gift

Synopsis

My best friend was pregnant with my husband's baby. My mother-in-law, Andrea, slid a 2-million-dollar check across the table and looked down on me. "That's enough to last you the rest of your life. Don't make this ugly." My husband held my best friend close, guilt written all over his face. "I'm sorry. But I truly love her." My best friend rested a hand on her belly, tears in her eyes. "I know I hurt you, but the baby is innocent..." I didn't cry. I didn't fight. I simply signed the papers, took the money, and booked the earliest flight out. They got exactly what they wanted. Three months later, they held a lavish wedding. That day, from across the ocean, I sent them a wedding gift. In front of all their guests, my husband opened the package. His face turned deathly pale. Inside was a paternity test.
