Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 31

Before long, the car smoothly rolled into Montgomery Manor.

The grand wrought-iron gates swung open to reveal an evergreen oasis within the estate, defying the chill of winter with its lush greenery. A small bridge arched over a gently flowing stream, evoking a sense of timeless elegance.

The vehicle drove straight through the courtyard, pulling up to the main house where warmth spilled out of the entrance.
