The woman in the black suit didn\u2019t blink. \u201cAn investigation for fraud, identity theft, and attempted life insurance collection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The pregnant mistress brought her hands to her belly. \u201cAlex\u2026 what does that mean?\u201d He didn\u2019t look at her. He looked at me. For the first time in months, not with annoyance. With fear.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Nicholas stood up slowly beside me. \u201cIt means your husband wasn\u2019t just cheating on you, Valerie. It means he\u2019s spent weeks planning your death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">The restaurant ran out of air. The <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"35\">Upper East Side<\/b>, with its elegant window displays and ridiculously expensive restaurants near <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"129\">Madison Avenue<\/b>, suddenly felt like a cheap theater. People pretended not to look, but everyone was staring.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">The woman in the suit approached me. \u201cMrs. Valerie Montgomery, I\u2019m Investigator April Chambers. I need you to come with us.\u201d \u201cAm I under arrest?\u201d \u201cNo. You\u2019re alive. And that just ruined a lot of your husband\u2019s plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Alex stood up. \u201cThis is insane.\u201d One of the officers took a step forward. \u201cSit down.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m a corporate lawyer, I know my rights.\u201d April turned to another page. \u201cThen you know that forging medical documents, taking out a policy using your wife\u2019s information, and reporting a non-existent death isn\u2019t exactly an administrative mix-up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">The pregnant woman started to cry. \u201cYou told me you were already divorced.\u201d I let out a laugh. I couldn\u2019t help it. \u201cHow funny. He told me he was stuck at work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Alex closed his eyes. \u201cValerie, please.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t say my name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">April placed a copy in front of me. There was my signature. My Social Security Number. My birth certificate. A fake death certificate. And a life insurance policy where Alex was listed as the primary beneficiary.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">I felt nauseous. \u201cHow much was my death worth?\u201d No one answered. Except Nicholas. \u201cFive million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">The number hit me harder than the kiss. Five million. Two years of marriage. A life together. My Sunday mornings making pancakes. My texts asking if he\u2019d eaten yet. My nights waiting for him to come home. Five million.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">\u201cWho are you?\u201d I asked Nicholas. He looked at Alex. \u201cThe brother of the first woman he tried to erase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">The pregnant mistress stopped crying. \u201cFirst?\u201d Alex yelled: \u201cShut up, Nicholas!\u201d That\u2019s when we all knew it was true.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/xstorynews.com\/?p=15778\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING<\/a><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a document with my name written in red.
