After the divorce , I finally revealed my secret : I'm worth over a hundred million dollars . It wasn't until I saw my son slip something into my bowl with my own eyes that I truly understood how much he hated me . " Daddy , if I tell everyone Mommy is with Mr. Miller , can Seraphina really become my mom ? " To make sure I'd leave the divorce with absolutely nothing , my husband had coached our son to accuse me of having an affair with our neighbor . He'd then turn around and marry his first love . What he didn't know was , I was just as terrified of him taking half of * my * hundreds of millions . " Daddy , if I tell everyone Mommy is with Mr. Miller , can Seraphina really become my mom ? " Waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom , I heard those words and instantly sobered up . The ' Seraphina ' Leo mentioned was our new tutor . A while back , Leo had whined about wanting a tutor , and Arthur had been unusually eager to find him one . Her name was Seraphina . She was a business school graduate who'd also studied overseas . She'd been a senior executive at a prestigious company ; her resume was beyond impressive . It seemed odd that someone so accomplished would take a tutoring job for us , but seeing how well she got along with Leo , I didn't give it much thought . Seraphina had told me : " Chloe , I don't really have any family or friends here . I'm not picky about salary , just as long as you provide me with a place to stay . " At the time , I had no idea she was Arthur's first love . Before we got married , I knew Arthur had a first love . He claimed it was a naive college romance . She'd apparently dumped him for being poor and left the country . He said he hated her guts . On our wedding day , he knelt before me , eyes red - rimmed . " Chloe , you're the only one who's ever truly cared for me . I , Arthur , will only ever love you . If I break this vow , may I die a miserable death ! " His family was dirt poor , and his relatives barely tolerated him . I was the one who stood by him , helping him build his career . Now , he's the Regional Director for Europe , earning a multi - million dollar salary . " Leo , if you just do what Daddy says , then your mommy won't be able to tell you what to do anymore . Isn't that great ? " " Yeah ! " Seraphina was nestled in my husband's lap , gently stroking Leo's head . This whole scheme was Seraphina's idea . Arthur wanted a divorce , but he was afraid I'd take half his fortune . So , he plotted to frame me for infidelity and make me leave with nothing . D < Once Leo was asleep . My husband and Seraphina were passionately kissing , right there on Leo's study desk . Their clothes were half - undone . Even through the screen , I could almost * feel* their heavy breathing . Expressionless , I recorded the video and sent it to my lawyer . " Is this enough to make him leave with nothing ? " What he didn't know was , I was just as terrified of him taking half of * my * hundreds of millions .
