My Husband Got Our Marriage Counselor Pregnant (Wives Who Bite Back #26)

My husband got our marriage counselor pregnant.

Then the two of them used therapy to make me apologize for noticing.

For months, I sat in Dr. Helena Arkwright’s office while she labeled every question controlling, every contradiction a pattern I needed to fix, and every lie another failure of trust—mine.

Every session ended the same way: I accepted the blame, and Derek walked out reassured.

When I finally learned the truth, I understood what those sessions had really been.

They didn’t just have an affair. They used therapy to train me not to trust myself. Then they planned to put me onstage in front of eight hundred people and sell my surrender as Helena’s latest success story.

Bad plan.

I used to manage crises for a living. I know how to follow money, preserve evidence, and destroy a lie without telling one of my own.

And Helena’s estranged husband has exactly what I need.

Harlan Arkwright owns the resort hosting her summit. He has the records. I have the strategy. Together, we can expose what our spouses did—and make sure neither of them escapes the consequences.

Harlan is also controlled, powerful, and far too comfortable taking charge. I already lost myself inside one marriage. I won’t do it again, no matter how carefully he listens, how thoroughly he respects every boundary, or how badly I want him when the doors close.

Derek wants to buy my silence.

Helena wants to steal my story.

They both expect me to walk onto that stage and stick to the script.

I wrote a better one.
