Chapter 51

Sarah's

pov

If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be waking up to a message from her of all people, I'd have laughed in your face.

Susan. Richard's ex-lover. The woman I once called the devil in high heels. The same one who pranced into my life and nearly tore my marriage apart.

And now, out of nowhere, she was texting me? Of course, my first reaction was to laugh. It was either that or scream.

I'd barely had time to make coffee, and there it was, my phone buzzing from the kitchen counter.

When I saw her name flash on the screen, I swear my stomach twisted into knots.

I hadn't heard from Susan since I came to Mexico, leaving me with the broken pieces of my life after Richard chose her over me.

Yeah, Richard didn't love me, but it hurt the same. Now she had the nerve to message me?

The first text was like a punch.

"Hey Sarah. Long time."

I nearly dropped my mug. My heart pounded. Why was she even messaging me?

After all these months, why now? I stared at the screen for a good minute before typing back.

"What do you want, Susan? Thought you'd be too busy wrecking lives in the States."

Yeah, I was mad. I had every right to be. She hadn't just ruined my relationship-she'd strutted into my life, into our home, and practically made herself queen of the place.
