Chapter 1 A visit from a stranger

Julian Davis opens her eyes. She frowns. 'n Thin ray of light is taking full advantage of the gap between the two light blocking curtains she hung just the other day.

"Gmpf." Trust the sun to find even the smallest gap to light up her day, she thought with a sneer.

She was about to get out of bed when she heard a loud bang on the front door. She realised that something other than daylight woke her. She glanced at the silver double bell alarm clock on the bedside table behind her. 09:05

The bang came again and this time a male voice followed.

"Hello?! Miss Davis? Anybody home?"

Julian cringed. She was not in the mood; not for sunlight, not for being awake and not for strange men calling her miss. But she could not stay in bed. Curiosity got the better of her.

"Coming!" she shouted whilst grabbing a robe and sliding into her slippers.

She didn't bother to look in the mirror.

With the automatic movements of many a time she unlocked the door of the small one bedroom apartment in the block of flats, she opened the door.

Four pairs of brown eyes met. For a second, both pairs wide with surprise before one pair narrowed with suspicion.

"Who are you?" Julian blurted out in annoyance. In front of her a tall man in a dark suit was standing, a large envelope in his hand.

"Miss Davis." It was clearly not a question.

Julian's mind raced through memories. The man seemed strangely familiar, yet she could not place him. He spoke with authority and seemed quite unaware of the state she was in.

Her mind searched further, but she could not encounter any run ins with anybody or any other actions that could have lead to a home visit form someone that seems to have purpose of any serious nature.

"Can I come in?" with that he moved past her to the small wooden table which separated the kitchen from the lounge. He pulled out one of the four chairs but kept standing. "Please have a seat, I have important matters to discuss."

Stunned, Julian closed the door and moved towards the table. Although completely confused, she felt strangely at ease ... as though she knew this man ... and as though she could trust him.

The Truth About His Mistress

The Truth About His Mistress

I was four months pregnant, a photographer excited for our future, attending a sophisticated baby brunch. Then I saw him, my husband Michael, with another woman, and a newborn introduced as "his son." My world shattered as a torrent of betrayal washed over me, magnified by Michael's dismissive claim I was "just being emotional." His mistress, Serena, taunted me, revealing Michael had discussed my pregnancy complications with her, then slapped me, causing a terrifying cramp. Michael sided with her, publicly shaming me, demanding I leave "their" party, as a society blog already paraded them as a "picture-perfect family." He fully expected me to return, to accept his double life, telling his friends I was "dramatic" but would "always come back." The audacity, the calculated cruelty of his deception, and Serena's chilling malice, fueled a cold, hard rage I barely recognized. How could I have been so blind, so trusting of the man who gaslighted me for months while building a second family? But on the plush carpet of that lawyer's office, as he turned his back on me, a new, unbreakable resolve solidified. They thought I was broken, disposable, easily manipulated – a "reasonable" wife who would accept a sham separation. They had no idea my calm acceptance was not surrender; it was strategy, a quiet promise to dismantle everything he held dear. I would not be handled; I would not understand; I would end this, and make sure their perfect family charade crumbled into dust.
