My daughter came home from her cub class and said to me, completely out of the blue, “Mommy, you should divorce Daddy.” I froze, the apron still in my hands. “Why?” Lily lifted her small, soft face to mine. “Because Daddy doesn’t love us,” she said quietly. “He only loves Ivan, and Ivan’s mom.” “You don’t say it, but I know.” “Last time, when Daddy got his year-end bonus, you wanted to sign me up for piano. But Aunt Vivian just had to cry, and Daddy sent all the money to her and Ivan instead.” “And on your birthday, Daddy had already ordered you that moonstone bracelet, but when Ivan threw a fit, he gave it to Vivian to make her feel better.” “He’s always kicking you out of the Blackwood pack-house group, too. Every single time, you have to beg him to add you back.” “If you’re only staying with him because of me, then… then I don’t want you to.

To mark our first reunion anniversary, I brought flowers to Enzo’s hotel for a surprise. Instead, I found him throwing a birthday party for Bianca. With his own hands, he fastened a vintage Van Cleef & Arpels necklace around her neck. The necklace was a Ricci family heirloom, reserved solely for its future bride. Someone in the crowd asked, “I thought Bianca was the one Enzo really loved?” “When their affair went public, Mavis was furious and filed for divorce. ” “Wasn’t that exactly what he wanted?” “So why did he spend six months chasing her down, begging her to come back?” Another voice answered quickly. “Reconciliation?
