There were pictures of Brad cozying up to the same woman, taken at various times and places.
âDeanna, is your Dad having an affair?â
âThat canât be! Theyâre crazy about each other.
These pictures have to be doctored.
Someoneâs stirring the pot!â
Deannaâs voice rose, disbelieving what she was seeing.
Brian bit his lip and scrolled through more files on the phone.
It detailed Bradâs extravagant gifts to his mistress: homes, cars, and a treasure trove of jewels.
The evidence was damning, and it all seemed legit.
Clearly, this wasnât amateur work.
Someone professional had put this together.
Who could it be?
âThe pictures arenât doctored.
I had Hutton send the file to your mother,â Rosalynn declared.
Brian, taken aback by her icy tone, turned to her.
âHold on.
Did you tell Hutton to dig up dirt on Brad?â
âExactly.
I asked Hutton not just to investigate Brad, but also to upload the evidence to his companyâs official website,â Rosalynn replied.
A crease appeared between Brianâs eyebrows as he fixed his gaze on her.
âRosalynn, whatâs going on? Whyâd you do something like this?â
She had turned the spotlight on Brad, but why?
âMaybe you should ask your mom what she did to Karina,â Rosalynn shot back coldly.
Brian felt a knot tighten in his stomach.
âWhat did my mom do to Karina?â
âShe set up Karina to be sexually assaulted and then used that as leverage to get me to divorce you,â Rosalynn revealed.
What?
Brian was floored.

Sure, he knew his mom wasnât fond of Rosalynn, but to go to such lengths? It was unthinkable.
âIt canât be true! Mom would never do such a thing!â Deanna blurted out, breaking her silence.
Rosalynn swiveled to face her.
âDeanna, you once asked me what Iâd do if your mom tried to blackmail me into divorcing Brian by hurting my best friend.
Why would you ask that if your momâs intentions were pure?â
Deannaâs eyes welled up even more, âI just threw it out there as a what- if.
How could you send those pictures to my mom? Donât you realize youâre tearing our family apart?â
She regretted ever speaking her fears to Rosalynn.
Now her mom was in the hospital, and chaos reigned.
Rosalynn clenched her fists.
âDeanna, your mom is the one who stepped over the line, not me.
I warned you, anyone messing with me isnât going to get off lightly.
â
She felt she was in the right.
Noemi was the one to do something cruel.
It was only fair that she get a taste of her own medicine.
And really, Rosalynn thought, she hadnât done anything near as cruel.
Sheâd merely exposed the truth.
Was that so wrong?
