Chapter 1 - The VIP Lounge Footage
I drove across the city with my hands gripping the leather steering wheel like a vice.
Tony was waiting for me at the back entrance of the restaurant with a pale and sweating face.
He did not say a word as he led me down a dark corridor into his private security office.
The small room smelled heavily of stale coffee and overwhelming fear.
Tony pointed a trembling finger at the glowing computer monitor on his desk.
I leaned closer to watch the silent, high-definition footage recorded inside the bridal lounge.
My beautiful wife was standing near the vanity mirror while holding a glass of expensive champagne.
Harper stood directly across from her wearing that stunning designer wedding dress.
I watched in absolute horror as Harper reached under the delicate fabric of her expensive gown.
She effortlessly unstrapped a massive silicone pregnancy belly and tossed it onto a velvet sofa.
There was no baby.
Eleanor threw her head back and laughed uncontrollably before handing Harper my massive check.
My entire world shattered in an instant as I realized my first grandchild was a complete lie.
I thought the nightmare had reached its peak until the heavy lounge door opened on the screen.
A tall man walked into the room and immediately pulled my wife into a passionate, intimate kiss.
Tony paused the video so I could clearly see the face of the man destroying my family.

It was Arthur Vance.
He was my lifelong best friend and the trusted corporate attorney who managed my entire empire.
