I was married to Archer for five years, and he gave me everything I asked for. After returning home from abroad, my best friend Lainey stayed at my place. She thought I had not only married into wealth, but also found the perfect husband. Driven by jealousy, she dug through the trash and found a used condom from Archer and me. She even managed to get pregnant using it. On Judy's sixtieth birthday, in front of all the guests, Lainey pulled out a pregnancy report. "I'm sorry. I'm carrying Archer's child." Archer, who had gone years without a child, faltered. He stepped in to defend Lainey. He said to me, "Honey, you've always had trouble conceiving. Why don't we wait until the baby is born, and then decide?" I nodded. But as I turned away, I pulled out a gun and shot Lainey in the head. Did she really think she could provoke the heir of one of the four most powerful families and walk away with it?
