Everything had gone perfectly to plan. The woman who stole my James away would rot in prison, I would have his money, and the world had a few less cheating men in it. Apart from my near slip up when the damn reporter called me Brooke, the whole escapade had been a major success.

I shrugged my grey jacket on with Joe's careful help. I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the shiny length of the black sedan as cameras continued to flash around us and it made me smile.

I knew three things for certain at that moment - my name was Brooke Olivia, revenge was sweet and grey definitely was my colour.



The End.
