My life had gone from bliss to crap in a matter of hours. Tynisha sent me the press release about Erika’s baby and I fell backwards, hitting my head on my desk behind me. Thank goodness I didn’t hurt myself too bad. No matter how many times I told myself not to call Stenton, my anger got the best of me and I did it anyway. When he shouted into the phone that he was at dinner, it was a gut blow. I couldn’t believe he betrayed my trust. Was I that easy? Did he not have to work at all to get into my bed? He certainly owned my heart, that was no difficult feat. I felt like a fool. I’d disappointed myself.

My troubles didn’t end there. Just days after that announcement hit, pictures of Stenton and me frolicking around like two having an affair, flooded the Internet. Viewing the total bliss in my eyes while wrapped around or under Stenton drove the dagger in my chest even deeper. Bloggers were speaking against my character, creating false backstories about me and why Stenton never married me. Others labeled me as victim number one. E! Network even contacted me, offering a few episodes on “Envying the Ercegs” where I would “assist” Erika through the pain Stenton caused her. How pathetic.

I closed the bakery for almost a week, losing revenue to keep my staff safe when we had eggs cover the windows and my cleaning guy almost got into an altercation when he found someone rummaging through the trash. Chesney encouraged the closing and even provided solutions as to how to pay the staff while business was suspended. He actually flew to Philadelphia to check on me. His presence was welcomed support from a friend. We’d softened toward each other tremendously over the years. I needed his friendship and services during this dark time. It was horrible.

While we were on the hiatus, Angela informed me of her and Timmy’s separation. I knew they were experiencing rough times over the months, but had no idea they were the type that put them on the road to Splitsville. She attributed it to getting married too young, before being fully developed beings first. It reminded me of Angela’s and my old pact to not get married before we decided we were ready and not anyone else. Overall, she appeared okay about it, which relieved me. Her news was still disappointing, though.

The morning we opened back up for business, I arrived early to Niña’s Sweet Cakes to be sure everything flowed smoothly. Seconds into preparing to start the day, two burly men walked into the door, appearing suspect, too official for my comfort.

Just when I thought this nightmare was coming to an end.

“Is Elizabeth Zoey Barrett around this morning?”

“I’m Zoey, how can I help you?” I walked toward the door with a racing heart.

“I’m Tad from Marsh Securities. We’ve been assigned to monitor this location of your business.”

“Security? I didn’t hire security,” I clarified.

“It was arranged by Mr.
