I entered my home with my blood still boiling from that bullshit panel earlier today.

I originally wasn’t scheduled to be on the panel, but I was invited to the convention.

However, when I saw Titan’s little girlfriend was on the panel, I hacked into the convention’s guest list a week before and bumped the caterer off the invite list and sent her a generic sorry for the mistake email.

Then, I added my name as the next person to be called.

I wanted to get a closer look at this woman Titan thought he could get over me with.

I didn’t have the chance to feel her out when we were at the hospital after Titan passed out because she was surrounded by his family, and her little pit bull with the crazy colored eyes got in the way after she said she would choke me until I ended up in the morgue if I didn’t leave.

I smiled to myself when I thought about Titan passing out after he asked about my son Justin.

That’s how I knew he still loved me because why would he ask about my son after all these years?

Then his reaction when I told him Brandon was the father.

Ugh Brandon.

I rolled my eyes just thinking his name.

I wish Titan was the fucking father of my son, maybe I wouldn’t have had to work so hard now.

When I met Brandon at a tech summit we got to talking, he knew I was married but he was exactly what I wanted; attentive, always put me first, and catered to my every need.

Before I knew it we were sleeping together, and I ended up pregnant.

Although Titan and I weren’t sleeping together regularly, we still slept together within the window that I conceived.

So, Justin could have been Titan’s, and I planned to say that but when Brandon saw the paperwork from my doctor in my purse that I was pregnant, when I was at his house, he asked for a paternity test as soon as I could get one.

When the results came back he was the father I felt bad, but I knew I would be ok because Brandon loved me and wanted me to leave Titan to be with him.

So, that’s what I did. Shortly before I had Justin, I left him without any notice because, truthfully, I couldn’t face him, and he was so busy with work and starting his company that I was surprised he noticed I left.

I moved to Tennessee to be with Brandon, and it also helped that I had family there.

I thought I was home free until Titan showed up to my cousin’s house, thanks to her ratting me out.

Seeing him so angry made me feel bad, that’s why I didn’t delay the divorce when I got the paperwork.

Soon after the divorce, Brandon asked me to marry him, and I said yes.

I was going to be with the man who truly loved and made time for me.

It wasn’t until we were married for six months that I realized that the only reason Brandon had so much time for me and was attentive was because he had no fucking ambition.

He had a tech startup, but he barely put any time into it.

He was good, but he didn’t possess the work ethic to be great.

We were in debt because he forgot to pay or didn’t make enough to pay his bills.

He didn’t have Titan’s drive at all. Titan sacrificed and worked long hours to get his company off the ground, now look where he’s at.

Brandon had an idea to start improving drone technology and saw the three million dollar grant Titan’s company was offering.

But like his usual lazy self he didn’t feel like filling out the paperwork and he didn’t want to work with Titan because of our history.

So, I told him Titan, and I patched things up a year ago and there were no hard feelings.

He believed me, but he still didn’t fill out the paperwork, so I took it upon myself to do it for him.

I knew Titan so I used all the language I knew would give us an advantage.

What I didn’t plan for was when we got selected that Titan would want to meet so soon and with Brandon being out of town, just like he was now, I didn’t have time to come clean to him and make him see the importance of being awarded this grant.

Now Titan was threating to pull out of the grant, and he proposed to that Bailey bitch in front of me!

Like she had anything on me, you don’t go from my supermodel figure to some bitch that looked like she could be a video hoe in a rap video.

When I met Titan, all his exes were tall and slim like me, now he’s trying to convince himself he love a shorter woman with meat on her bones? Get the fuck out of here.

I looked Bailey’s ass up and yeah; she had a great business, and I bet most of her business came from fucking Titan, but I saw she used to work for Davis Advertising.

My family were great friends with the Davis’, and I spoke to Angelo often.

I wonder how great their relationship would be when Titan found out Bailey had a reputation of sleeping her way to the top, which is why she was let go from Davis Advertising…

or that her newest client, that bitch Giada Morretti, was connected to the mafia.

As for Titan, if he pulled out of this grant, I was going to leak some shit out on him too.

Make that golden boy image look a little less shiny.

I smiled as I pictured their faces when I exposed their secrets. Regardless of if they were true or not, that didn’t matter in the court of public opinion.
