They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but when my ex-husband’s new wife, Jess, reached out to me, I found myself caught in a web of desperation and secrets.

Five years ago, my life fell apart when Kevin, my husband, accidentally texted me instead of his mistress. He expressed his hatred for me, blaming my infertility. Our marriage ended, and in the settlement, I got half of his assets and became a silent partner in his company. Kevin soon married Jess.

A month ago, Jess contacted me, begging for help. Kevin demanded she abort their baby, citing financial reasons. Despite my initial reluctance, I decided to protect her. I offered Jess my lake house as a safe haven and planned to teach Kevin a lesson.

I had my lawyer send Kevin a letter informing him of Jess’s intention to divorce and warning him against harassment. Kevin, furious and desperate, called me, but I stood firm. Then, I initiated an audit of his company, uncovering financial misconduct. His assets were frozen, and his reputation shattered.

Jess filed for divorce with a strong lawyer. We garnered support from women’s rights groups, and the media highlighted her story. Kevin’s life unraveled as his business crumbled and his public image was tarnished.

In the end, Jess kept her baby, and our friendship blossomed. Kevin lost everything, while I found closure and satisfaction in knowing that justice had been served. Life has a funny way of coming full circle, proving that what goes around really does come around.
