Scarlett and I met at a bar and got wasted.
“Ava, do you know what that dog Owen said?
“He said Willow just got back and wanted him
to introduce her to people!
“What about me? I used to have something to
offer in Hollywood, and I was even better than
Willow.
“But what did I get from marrying him?
Restrictions, and a man who isn’t even into
me.”
I whispered. “But you got monev
Scarlett was a big spender, but she could get
away with it by marrying into the Hayes
family.
She looked at me with her watery eyes. “True!
I have money! There are only two sons in the
Hayes family. If we split their money in half,
we can get any man we want!”
Then she asked, “You didn’t sign a prenup,
did you?”
I totally did.
Before the wedding, with a lawyer present,
Justin had me sign a document.
I was so blinded by his face and body that I
signed it without looking.
Scarlett said, “Then we can only get a fourth
of the money.”
I asked, “How much is that?”
She counted on her fingers. “We can hire ten
top–tier male models every
day, and never
get the same one. That’s forever.”
I said, “Yes!”
We made plans to officially file for divorce as
soon as the lawyers drew up the papers.
While we were waiting, it happened to be our
mother–in–law’s birthday.

We had to put on a show. We showed up in
fancy gowns, leaving the brothers confused.
We used to walk with our husbands,
socializing with guests.
Now they were alone. We thought the hostess
wanted to send a message to her daughters-
in–law.
But she wanted to hook up with Willow.
She always wanted a daughter, but she only
had two sons. Willow was like a daughter she
never had.
Scarlett grabbed me and tried to leave.
Willow saw us and asked, “I don’t think I’ve
met my sister–in–laws yet. Aren’t you going
to introduce me, Mrs. Hayes?”
Well, shit.
She politely greeted us and complimented
Scarlett.
Of course. Scarlett was stunning and would
have been a success if she hadn’t dropped
out of the industry.
When it was my turn, Willow sized me up and
said I had a face made for food.
I may have gained a few pounds and looked
fat standing next to Scarlett, but did she have
to say it?
I bit my tongue, but Scarlett didn’t hold back.
“First time meeting you, Willow. What an
ethereal vibe. You look like a lotus flower.
That dress makes you look like a total
‘innocent‘ bitch.”
The hostess smiled and nodded.
Willow turned green.
She butted into the middle of the brothers.
We looked at each other and felt even more
motivated.
Many of Owen’s investors were at the party.
Willow wasn’t going to miss this chance, shyly
following him and making connections.
Scarlett looked over and whispered, “That
