My Side Podcast

Recorded February 14

“Next week we will continue our conversation with Emily Green, formerly Emily Silver.Here is a preview of what to expect next week.”

“Emily, when did you find out?”

“After we got married, he said he couldn’t have children.I was devastated.He knew how much I wanted to have a large family.My sisters and I are very close… He was drinking, and then there were the pills.I didn’t know what to do.I begged him to get help.”

“But then…”

“It was December, and I wasn’t feeling well.I took a test… I was so happy.I thought it was going to fix him.Fix us… I’m sorry.I don’t know if I can do this.”

“Emily, what happened on March 5th?”

“… he left me alone, broken, and bleeding in an LA ER.”

“Was it Julian’s?”

“Yes.He was angry.I didn’t know what to do.That’s when I met Payton.”

“Emily will tell us what it was really like living with Julian Silver.And the hell he put her through.All next week on My Side.”

CHAPTERFIFTY-FOUR

WYATT

April 8

“Turn it off.I’ve heard enough.”My voice cracked.

“I’m sorry, Ms.Halliday.”Julian’s agent softly closed his computer.

“Does Julian know?”Hannah asked.

“No.He’s a little touchy about the Emily subject right now.Ms.Halliday?—”

“It’s Wyatt,” I said.There was a photo of Mason, Julian, and Anders celebrating some win on the bookcase behind AJ.Another of a younger Mason and Hannah standing in front of an arena.There were hockey sticks, helmets, and jerseys scattered all over the room.

“This is because she and Payton broke up.She lost her meal ticket.I also heard no one will work with her because of her reputation.All those rich Beverly Hills women don’t want her around their rich husbands.”Hannah was leaning against the bookshelf that held more trinkets from her and Mason’s life.AJ had called Hannah to get ahold of me.And since I wasn’t about to invite AJ to my place in Henderson, Hannah had suggested we meet at her place.

“That or the fact that some big numbers are being thrown around with Julian’s name.I can only speculate, but whatever the reason, she’s not going to go away quietly.”
