About Forged My Marriage, Stole My Baby—Now I’m the Judge You Kneel To Novel
"When Sierra Whitlow became a judge, her very first case was actually a divorce between her husband and his childhood sweetheart.
Staring at the case file, she kept double-checking the details. ""Mira, wait, is there some mistake here? You’re saying the defendant is Magnus Everhart?""
Her assistant clerk grinned. ""Judge Whitlow, he is Magnus Everhart—CEO of Everhart Industries. I might screw up other paperwork, but trust me, it's definitely not this one""
Mira whipped out her phone, pulled up Magnus Everhart's Wikipedia page, and show the cruel trutu toward Sierra's face.
The photo showed a face identical to her husband's. Sierra's blood turned to ice.
Claire Benton from the clerk's office piled on: ""Oh yeah, Judge Whitlow, since you're the newbie—Magnus and his precious wife Odessa Verrier? They've been this messy drama for like seven or eight years. First time it's hit the courtroom though. The press gallery is totally packed!""
Sierra's legs nearly gave out as the papers slipped from her numb fingers onto the desk.
""Wait,"" Mira said, eyeing her curiously, ""you know Magnus Everhart?""
Know him? She'd been married to him for six years. They even had a son together.
The man who'd been sleeping next to her for six years was actually the CEO of a major corporation—and married to someone else?
It was fucking insane!
Sierra forced herself to shake her head. ""I'm new to New York. Don't really know anyone yet.""
After they got married, she'd given up her career as a top-tier lawyer in Boston to take care of Eli, spending three years as a full-time mom. This year, sick of the always-missing-each-other kind of life they had because of his constant travel, she'd busted her ass to pass the New York bar exam and land this judgeship. Tonight, she'd planned to surprise him with the news.
Instead, fate had delivered the crushing blow first."
