My husband, Julian Ashford, had a reputation across Manhattan for being cold to women.
In all our years of marriage, sleeping with me had felt like a chore he was ticking off a list.
Then, one week before my due date, a video landed in my inbox.
In it, Julian and his stepsister, Bianca, were going at it in every position imaginable.
Seven times in a single night.
Bianca even looked straight into the camera and sneered at me.
The shock sent me into a hemorrhage.
I called Julian over and over. No one picked up.
When he finally answered, his voice was sharp with irritation.
“Your due date’s still a week off. What are you whining about? Do you have any idea how hard I’m working out here?”
“Let’s get a divorce.”
I didn’t argue. My voice was flat, empty.
I slipped the divorce papers into a stack of documents and got Julian to sign them without a second glance.
Then I took our baby’s ashes and vanished from his world.
Six years later.
I went with my new husband’s mother, Vivienne, to Mount Sinai for a check-up.
The last person I expected to see was Julian, there for Bianca’s prenatal appointment.
His eyes landed on the twins—a boy and a girl—whose hands I was holding, and his brow furrowed.
“Considering you gave me twins, I’ll let bygones be bygones about the years you disappeared.”
“Bianca’s divorced. She’ll be living with us from now on. She’s my sister, and I have to take care of her.”
“Two kids, three kids—it’s all the same amount of work. You stay home and look after Bianca’s baby too. She’s coming to the office with me. She’s a career woman, not like you, sitting around the house all day.”

It can’t be fake!” I shook my head. “Do you know why Bianca was sent
The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 09 When I saw Julian again, all the arrogance had drained out of him—but he was still forcing himself to shout through his fear. “Stella is my wife.” “Mr. Shaw, this woman deceived you. We’re not divorced!” I unlocked my phone
The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 08 Sebastian’s heart stopped. He was watching, with his own eyes, a brute of a man beating the child he cherished more than anything in this world. Something in him snapped. He drove his foot into the guard’s chest. He’d trained
The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 07 Sebastian was counting the minutes. His frown deepened by the second. Twenty hours and three minutes.

The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 06 I couldn’t bear to imagine what that kick would have done to Vivienne. Vivienne’s tears fell freely. “You silly girl, I’m old. Even if I died it wouldn’t matter. You didn’t have to take that for me.” “No, Vivienne. This
The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 05 Vivienne fixed him with an icy stare. “Who exactly do you think you are, blocking our way?

The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 04 Julian sneered when he saw me. “I actually thought you had enough dignity to go beg on the streets rather than come crawling back to the Ashfords. I never imagined you’d chase me all the way here.” The director asked,
The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 03 Before I could finish, Bianca cut in, wounded expression already in place. “Stella, please don’t get the wrong idea about Julian.

The Night I Went Into Labor His Stepsister Livestreamed Herself Bedding My Husband Chapter 02 I looked at Bianca standing there in front of me and thought about how absurd my old life had been. Eight years ago. Julian had married me straight out of Columbia. He’d made me turn down a job offer at
