During my pregnancy, the man I thought I knew changed completely. Arnie, once loving and attentive, began mocking my looks, ignoring my pain, and treating me like I was worthless. He stayed out late, came home smelling of perfume, and eventually admitted he was seeing someone else.

The final blow came when he brought his mistress, Stacy, into our home and handed me divorce papers — coldly declaring he wanted nothing to do with me or our baby. My heart shattered, but instead of breaking, I quietly formed a plan.

I signed the papers, gave birth to my beautiful daughter Riley, and with the help of my mother, began to rebuild my life. What Arnie didn’t know was that Stacy wasn’t just his new lover — she was part of my plan. I had hired her to lure him away and distract him while I secured everything in my name.

When the dust settled, Arnie was left with nothing, begging on the street, while Riley and I moved back into our home — free, safe, and finally at peace. Looking into my daughter’s eyes, I knew we had won.
