The Last Wife: The addictive and unforgettable new thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller

Page 31

by Karen Hamilton


  I hear tyres on the gravel. Still holding my precious Jack tightly, I open the door.

  A woman in a trouser suit emerges from a black Audi.

  ‘Mrs Thompson?’ she calls out.

  ‘Please, call me Marie,’ I call back. ‘You must be Jennifer, from the estate agents?’

  ‘Yes.’

  I watch as she walks towards the entrance gate and replaces the For Sale sign with a Sold one.

  Nina was right to rely on my loyalty because I never let her down. I promised her three things: I swore that I’d look out for her family, sabotage any new relationships of Stuart’s and ensure that Stuart held on to their family home.

  But I have no qualms about breaking one of my promises and selling the house – it’s just not the one I thought I’d break. After all, the house was her dream, not mine. I’m entitled to something of my own. This is my story now.
