His Affair, My Fortune

I ran into my husband Howard's mistress, Scarlett, at my prenatal appointment for our second child.

I was expressionless, but she looked absolutely terrified.

Scarlett was overthinking it, though. Howard had three or four mistresses before her, and she wouldn't be the last. If I got mad every time, I'd probably die young.

But when I got home, Howard was the one who confronted me. He demanded:

"I told you, everything Howard's family owns will be for you and the kids. Don't go looking for trouble with Scarlett. Why don't you ever listen?"
