They say revenge is a dish best served cold—but sometimes, the chill comes not from the act itself but from the memories that refuse to fade.

My name is Bridget, and this is the story of how old wounds were reopened, how a desperate plea for help awakened a fire I had long thought extinguished, and how, in the end, the scales of justice were tipped in a way that no one—least of all my treacherous ex-husband—could have predicted.
