After discovering my husband’s aff3ir, he destr0yed our baby’s crib and ordered us out. His mistress wore my jewelry. Then three cars arrived, and his confident smile vanished when the chairman called me his daughter.

My father stepped beside me with Lily safely in his arms.

“Your employment is terminated,” he told Daniel. “Your access is canceled, and your compensation is frozen pending legal action.”

Daniel shook his head. “The merger depends on me.”

“No,” I said. “It depended on false numbers. The board suspended it this morning.”

Vanessa claimed Daniel had forced her to approve everything. Daniel blamed her for creating the vendor accounts.

Their alliance collapsed when protecting each other stopped being useful.

In the following months, both faced legal consequences. The company recovered most of the missing money, and Daniel lost the bonuses and privileges he had built on deception.

Our divorce was completed seven months later. Any contact with Lily was supervised and subject to court requirements.

He never entered my home again.

One year later, Lily slept in a bright nursery overlooking my father’s garden. Her new crib was made from warm oak, simple and strong.
