Chapter One
Emma Waite Haines’ heart pounded dully when she followed her lawyer down the marble hallway to the New York City courtroom. The media crawled over each other trying to get a statement. They flashed cameras and waved microphones. Curiosity seekers jostled for positions with the press.
“Ms. Haines, did you sign a prenup?”
“How much money will you get in the divorce settlement?”
“Ms. Haines, rumor has it you’re pregnant. Can you please confirm?”
Emma dragged air into her lungs. The blood drained from her face. She would’ve ignored that question had she not committed one devastating mistake.
Pregnant?
Pregnant? What would that mean? A custody battle? That hadn’t been part of the contract.
Silently she prayed for God to give her strength. If she had trusted in Him, she wouldn’t be here.
Her attorney, Bill Molson, took her arm, the question in his eyes asking if she were all right. She hoped she gave him a reassuring smile. Once the divorce proceedings were over, she’d be fine―at least that was what she kept telling herself.
Bill had warned her the press and curiosity seekers would want to see her, though she hadn’t expected this much publicity. She wasn’t a rock star or royalty or some rich heiress, but she may as well have been, because she was, after all, Emma Waite Haines—soon to be the ex-wife of billionaire Carter du Pont Haines IV.
