idea that I was enough for him, but Max was a man of many great appetites. And always I lived with the fear that one day things would change.
    Max and I eventually became pregnant with twins. It was a turning point in Max’s life—he was to become a father for the first time and realized it was time to slow the partying down, so that we could settle and grow as a family.
    The only problem was that Max was terrible at it. Soon a time came for me and my very pregnant belly to perform. I was driving somewhere when my water suddenly broke.
    I just managed to get myself to the nearest hospital. It was not my first choice of establishment, and I didn’t want to have the twins in this shabby environment. But they were coming and after the doctor saw me, I was immediately booked in for an emergency C section.
    Things happened fast after that. I remember wanting Max to be there, but the staff couldn't get hold of him. Despite the neglected building and facilities, the staff members were clued up and professional.
    At 3am I gave birth to twins, a beautiful boy and girl. The experience was header than the finest champagne or the most lavish experience, more emotional than anything I felt before.
    Here were these cute little babies, right in my arms. Max rushed to my side after the birth, when they finally got hold of him. He was the proudest father. That was when we knew that for better or worse, our lives were now tied together by the twins.
    Having newborn babies was a life-changing experience for me. I wouldn't have traded all the fancy cars and concord rides in the world, for a single moment with my babies. They were the center of my universe and a new reason to build a happy life with their father.

    For a time, we were genuinely happy, but eventually the late nights and ongoing demands irked Max. He was a fast-paced, important man with more experience drinking and partying than being a loving, attentive father. He left the parenting to me and continued enjoying himself. I was happy to stay with the twins, who needed me.
    Max was an amazing provider. Throughout my time raising the twins in those first years, we never went without anything we wanted, needed or thought about. At a moment’s notice, Max would take us to an island somewhere for a brief holiday—if things got too hectic.
    The twins thrived and learned quickly. I watched as they advanced faster than other children I knew because they were fortunate to have the best of everything. I watched and thought of my own childhood, and how lean it had been for us. Indeed, I was living a blessed life.
    But Max had to go away on trips without me more frequently. I saw it happening, but thought it was for the best. This is how another woman started making her way into our lives—the secret mistress who entertained my husband in my absence.

    I arrived at the St. Barth docks to find an array of elites wandering on and off a huge yacht, the size of several large apartments. From the outside it looked as though the yacht itself could comfortably sleep fifty or more people. I had never seen anything so opulent!
    Better yet, the entire yacht was adorned in whites and beach colors, with multiple decks where you could sit and chat with friends, and many indoor bar
