On my wedding day, my husband\u2019s ex appeared at our bridal car and said, \u2018Let me ride with you.\u2019 He replied, \u2018Laurel, just shift over a little so she can fit.\u2019 I got out of the bridal car in my wedding gown and returned to my parents\u2019 house.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The instant my husband\u2019s ex-girlfriend opened our bridal car door, I sensed my marriage was over. When my new husband asked me to move so she could sit beside him, I knew he\u2019d made the costliest mistake of his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me ride with you,\u201d Vanessa said, smiling as if she belonged there.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My husband, Ethan Caldwell, responded without hesitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaurel, just shift over a little so she can fit.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared in disbelief.<\/p>\n

I wore a $12,000 wedding gown. My parents had spent months arranging our beautiful garden wedding, and two hundred guests awaited us at the reception.<\/p>\n

Yet my husband expected me to accommodate his ex-girlfriend.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcuse me?\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n

Ethan sighed. \u201cDon\u2019t start embarrassing me. Vanessa\u2019s car broke down. It\u2019s a fifteen-minute ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanessa rested against the open door, her red silk dress standing out against my white gown.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeriously, Laurel. Don\u2019t be insecure. Ethan and I have known each other forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

I turned to Ethan, hoping he\u2019d defend me.<\/p>\n

Instead, he rolled his eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re making this a bigger deal than it needs to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Something within me became completely still.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d I said quietly.<\/p>\n

Gathering my gown, I stepped out of the limousine and shut the door.<\/p>\n

Ethan rolled down his window.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHome.\u201d<\/p>\n

He laughed. \u201cLaurel, stop being dramatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

I headed back toward my parents\u2019 house, where our ceremony had taken place.<\/p>\n

Behind me, Vanessa giggled.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019ll come back. Girls like her always do.\u201d<\/p>\n

I continued walking.<\/p>\n

Ethan didn\u2019t realize my family\u2019s business had paid for the elegant reception venue, luxurious limousine, and extravagant honeymoon.<\/p>\n

More importantly, he had no idea I held majority ownership of the company where he\u2019d recently become chief operating officer.<\/p>\n

My father founded Whitmore Development, but he\u2019d transferred controlling ownership to me three years earlier.<\/p>\n

Ethan assumed Dad still controlled every major decision.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never corrected that assumption.<\/p>\n

When I walked inside, my mother gasped.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaurel? Sweetheart, what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

I took off my veil and set it on the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, please call our attorney.\u201d<\/p>\n

My father appeared at the doorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n

I glanced at my wedding ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthan just chose his ex-girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then I slipped it off.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd tomorrow, he\u2019s going to discover exactly what that choice cost him.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n
