Those were the last words Edward Sinclair spat at me before he walked out of our marriage and straight into the arms of his first love, Vivian Spencer. I needed to disappear not just from him, but from everyone. So I faked my own death and vanished from the world overnight. I moved abroad, changed my name, and built a whole new life from scratch.
