Chapter 49 Family Portrait
"Alistair married someone else?"
Nathaniel had just gotten home from work when he heard the news. He froze. "Are you sure? That can't be right."
Cordelia sighed. "He told Eva himself. She said she ran into him outside the kindergarten-he was picking up a little girl. The girl

They'd been clinging to the hope that Alistair might come back-
but had anyone really asked Rebecca what she wanted?
Would she really choose that other life over her own family?
Cordelia's heart sank.
As a mother, she never wanted to see her daughter caught in this
mess.
But because she was her mother, she felt compelled to help
Rebecca see Alistair for who he really was-even if it meant being the bad guy.
If Rebecca wouldn't come around, Cordelia would eventually have
