I expected him to blow up in my face. Instead, after a pause, he replied, “Alright. See you tonight.”

Three years ago, Edward and I had created a haute couture fashion house, The Edwardian Taylor. By this point, it had become a massive success.

Edward financed the operation while I was the principal designer. Honestly, he was the one winning without lifting a finger—especially considering its net worth now.

It could easily be traded publicly, making even more money, and yet he would give The Edwardian Taylor away for his beloved Maddie.

Talk about true love…

After getting up, I scanned the wedding preparations in my room, and the sight stung my eyes. I would have loved to burn them all.

I called a packing company to handle everything related to him.

God, I felt lucky that I had insisted he could only have me after we were married. I would never want anything of his inside me.

Once the house was cleaned up, I changed into my clothes and applied my best makeup. It was then that I heard car engines from outside.

Well, well. Edward had come, along with his mother, Sally Brown. Was she worried that her son would get the shorter end of the deal?

“Oh, you’re back,” I called from my seat on the couch, glancing at Sally. “You’re here too, Mrs. Kennedy.”

Sally forced an awkward smile. “I thought you’d call me ‘Mom,’ dear.”

I stretched my lips wide. “My mom’s been dead for a while.”

Sally’s expression froze before becoming wooden.

Edward’s face darkened. “Don’t take it out on my mom, Taylor.”

“I see this as a parenting failure, Ed. Maybe I should take it out on your dad, too,” I taunted.
