I believed my husband was the man everyone trusted.
Jeremy Webb was successful. Respected. A financial adviser who built his reputation protecting families while hiding one of his own.
Then an anonymous Christmas card arrives.
The photograph shows my former friend, a teenage girl, and a man whose face is blurred.
His watch isn’t.
On the back of the card: ’Ask him about Lila.’
When Jeremy burns the card, he thinks the evidence is gone.
He’s wrong.
A secret daughter.
A hidden house.
Money disguised as business expenses.
And documents designed to weaken my financial future before he leaves me after Christmas.
Jeremy believes I’ll stay calm while he protects his reputation.
I will.
Right up until his annual client party, where he’s about to receive an award for protecting family legacies.
His mistress will be there.
His partners and wealthiest clients will be watching.
And instead of the tribute he expects, I’m preparing a presentation no one will forget.
