My husband, Professor Julian Vance, always claimed he hated risks. Then I discovered hundreds of videos of him skydiving with his beautiful graduate student. He missed my birthday, abandoned me on Christmas, and gave me a gift she had chosen. But the final betrayal came when she destroyed years of my paintings—and he rushed to protect her instead of me. That was the moment I stopped being the devoted wife who forgave everything. I exposed their secret, filed for divorce, and walked away. Now the professor who always chose her is desperate to get me back. But this time, I'm choosing myself.
