Chapter 1 - THE WOMAN BESIDE THE ROAD

Use the supplied opening as the official Chapter 1.

It ends with me, Gavin, watching my former wife Elise Harper walk away along a Kentucky county road with two infants strapped against her chest.

My fiancée, Sabrina Lowell, had tossed twenty dollars into the dirt and mocked her.

Elise never picked it up.

She only looked at me with something worse than anger.

Pity.

For nearly a year, I had believed Elise stole money from my medical-equipment company, met another man secretly in a hotel, and hid my grandfather’s antique watch in her closet.

I had divorced her without believing a single word of her defense.

Now two babies with hair almost exactly like mine were disappearing down the road.

And for the first time, one question entered my mind that should have entered it a year earlier.

May you like

What if Elise had been telling the truth?
