When the Good Wife Fell
463 Views · Ongoing · Agatha Christie
I was married to Daniel for eight years. I thought we were happy.
Then I found a receipt in his car — a private OB-GYN clinic, Upper East Side. The name on it was Lydia's. My best friend's.
I drove straight to my brother Joel's apartment. Joel, the boy I raised. The only family I had left. I needed someone to tell me I was wrong.
I heard them laughing before I knocked.
I looked through the gap in the door and saw all three of them — Daniel, Lydia, and Joel — standing in the living room with champagne glasses, toasting the baby that wasn't mine.
My husband. My best friend. My little brother.
Every person I had ever trusted. All in the same room. All in on the same secret.
And not one of them had thought to tell me.
