Chapter 1 Kicked Out
1/10
"Rick's coming over tonight. He won't be happy to see you here."
Alistair Harlow had spent the entire afternoon slaving away in the kitchen. Just as he walked out with the last dish in hand, his wife, Rebecca Whitfield, dropped that cold sentence on him like a lead weight.
The man she mentioned, was Richard Morgan, the one she'd always loved.
Alistair froze for a moment, then untied his apron with a quiet nod. "Alright, I'll head out. I'll wait for your call to come back."
Rebecca's gaze hardened. "Don't bother coming back."
Before he could process her words, she flung a piece of paper at him. "We're getting divorced tomorrow."
Alistair bent down, picking up the note. His eyes scanned it quickly, confirming its contents, and a tremor ran through him. He clutched the paper tightly as if it weren't just a scrap of stationery but something more vital than life itself.
He forced down the storm inside him and turned to leave. But just as he reached the door, a thought struck him. "Danny..."
"Alistair!" Rebecca's voice was sharp, her face darkening. "Don't you dare act like you're anything to him! Just because Danny's

called you 'Dad' for five years doesn't make you his father. I'm warning you, don't bring him up. Get out!"
In fact, all Alistair had wanted was to remind her that her son, Daniel Whitfield, seemed to be coming down with something, and she should keep an eye on it.
He and Rebecca had married because of her pregnancy. After the wedding, he'd moved into her family's home.
They had a five-year-old son.
To the outside world, they were the picture of a happy family.
But behind closed doors, there was a truth that almost no one knew. Not even Rebecca's parents. Their marriage had been nothing more than a childish act of defiance, a petty rebellion Rebecca staged against Richard.
Alistair and Rebecca had known each other since high school. She was the school's golden girl. She'd been beautiful, wealthy, the center of attention wherever she went.
Alistair, on the other hand, was a nobody, a studious kid from a struggling family, pouring every ounce of his energy into his studies, hoping a top college would be his ticket to a better life.
She was the dazzling heiress, and he was the quiet nerd in the corner. Their paths should never have crossed.
But one day, Rebecca, disheveled and desperate, sought him out. She tossed a bank card at him and made a blunt offer. She
