Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable
My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.Delilah Tomson – Point of View
Delilah Tomson always gets what she wants. Nothing is ever out of her reach. I am fearless, bold, and unapologetically determined. I write my own love stories, and nothing will stand in the way of my happy ending.
Jackson Jack is my soulmate. He may be married to Emily now, but that was clearly a mistake. Very soon, he will kick her out of that oversized mansion and out of his life for good.
"How far along are you? I have been waiting for this baby for months!" I ask the woman carrying my future in her womb.
When Jackson told me he wanted to leave me to focus on the family he and Emily had always dreamed of, I had to act fast. The brilliant idea that saved everything? I told him I was pregnant. Ever since, he has been doting on me, completely fooled by the fake belly I have been sweating under in this unbearable heat.
I even put my modeling career on hold, sacrificing everything so the world believes this perfect lie. I cannot risk Emily giving birth before my surrogate does. If she does, everything I have built will collapse.
As if the day could not get any worse, I get a text from Jackson demanding to meet. Not requesting , demanding. My gut twists. He never talks to me like that. Something is wrong.
Rumor has it Jackson has been selected for the next Best Businessman Issue magazine cover, and they plan to feature him with his wife. Of course. Jackson cares deeply about his image. News of a pregnant mistress would ruin him, but he would not dare break up with me. Not when he thinks I am carrying his son.
After a quick shower, I stare at myself in the mirror. My body is perfect. Sculpted. Beautiful. But hidden beneath maternity dresses and this ridiculous prop of a belly. The moment my surrogate gives birth, I will show the world who I truly am again.
I pour myself a glass of wine and settle on the balcony with an hour to spare before meeting Jackson. I should be enjoying the quiet, but my peace is shattered by a phone call.
"Delilah, you have to do something or we are ruined! Everything we have worked for will be in vain. I cannot go back to poverty!"
It is my sister, Rosaline who is my eyes and ears. She has been working as Jackson's personal assistant for months, and he still does not know she is my sister. She is around him more than anyone, including his wife.
"Jackson is planning to break up with you today," she says.
I laugh. Loudly.
Jackson thinks I am pregnant with his heir. He would never walk away. Rosa must be mistaken.
But then she says something I never thought Jackson would say . "He told his friend he would never raise a bastard child."
That one stings.
Clearly, Jackson has forgotten who he is dealing with. It is time this affair became public.
"Tell your guy to message Emily. Send her Jackson's location. Let us end this perfect little fantasy she calls a marriage."
Today, Emily Jacobs will receive the worst news of her life.
