My Husband Kicked Me Out For Being Infertile — He Didn’t Know The Man Waiting Outside Owned Him
Part 2
The heavy door of the luxury vehicle slammed shut.
It completely separated me from the miserable past I had just left behind in the mud.
I sat frozen on the plush leather seat.
My ruined sweaters soaked into the expensive upholstery.
Vincent did not say a word as the driver navigated away from my former home.
He simply poured a measure of amber liquid into a crystal glass.
He offered it to me with a steady, unreadable expression.
The intense heat of the liquor burned down my throat, slowly chasing away the freezing chill.
I watched the rain streak across the tinted windows.
My mind raced with the terrifying reality of what I had just agreed to.
I was marrying a dangerous crime boss to exact revenge on the man who discarded me.
The next three days passed in a surreal blur of transformation.
I woke up in a master guest suite overlooking the dark waters of Lake Michigan.
I fully expected Vincent to treat me like a pawn in his grand scheme.
Instead, he systematically began to rebuild my shattered dignity piece by piece.
He brought in a private concierge physician to completely overhaul my health.
The doctor informed me that the relentless fertility treatments had wrecked my endocrine system.
Vincent stood in the doorway, watching me with a dark, protective intensity.
He commanded the doctor to give me whatever I needed without any compromises.
An elite team of tailors arrived at the estate the very next morning.
They brought rich silks and velvets designed to celebrate my body instead of hiding it.
I stared at my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
I barely recognized the confident woman wearing the custom deep burgundy dress.
Vincent stepped behind me, placing his large hands gently on my shoulders.
His dark eyes met mine in the glass with unmistakable hunger.
He murmured that I was finally shedding an impostor’s life.
He reminded me that Craig had only convinced me I was small because he feared my strength.
We signed the marriage papers quietly in a judge’s private chambers.
Vincent slipped a massive emerald-cut diamond ring onto my trembling finger.
His kiss was unexpectedly soft, lingering just a second longer than strictly necessary.
My heart betrayed me, skipping a violent, erratic beat.
Once the ink was dry, the true power of the Romano empire mobilized.
Vincent quietly bought out the entire four million dollar debt Craig owed to the rival syndicates.
Overnight, my new husband became my ex-husband’s sole creditor.
Vincent leaked an encrypted tip to the authorities regarding Craig’s creative accounting practices.
He then ensured Megan’s wealthy father received an anonymous dossier detailing Craig’s financial ruin.
I watched the methodical dismantling of my ex-husband’s life from the absolute safety of Vincent’s study.
I was no longer the broken wife crying in the mud, but what would Craig do when he finally realized who I had become?
Part 3
Craig would soon find out exactly what happened when he discarded his wife in the mud.
What would you do if the man you loved for 10 years threw your bags onto the wet pavement simply because your body couldn’t give him a child?
Brenda thought her life was over.
Until a sleek black Cadillac pulled up and the city’s most dangerous man rolled down his window.
The rain in Chicago that Tuesday evening wasn’t just a drizzle.
It was a torrential downpour that felt like a personal insult from the universe.
Brenda stood on the manicured lawn of her Oak Park home, her soaking wet clothes clinging to her frame, staring at the locked mahogany front door.
At her feet sat two hastily packed suitcases, one of which had already popped open exposing her damp sweaters to the unforgiving weather.
Through the bay window she could see him.
Craig.
Her husband of seven years.
He was pouring a glass of scotch looking entirely unbothered while a slender blonde woman draped herself over his shoulder.
Her name was Megan, a 24-year-old heiress to a local shipping fortune, and she was currently 3 months pregnant with Craig’s child.
Brenda wrapped her arms around her thick waist shivering as the cold bit into her bones.
She was a heavy woman carrying the physical evidence of three grueling years of failed IVF treatments, relentless hormonal injections prescribed by Dr. Gregory Davis at the Northwestern Fertility Clinic, and the deep suffocating depression that followed each negative pregnancy test.
The medications had wrecked her metabolism adding over 70 lb to her once average frame.
Instead of supporting her, Craig had weaponized her changing body.
He had stopped touching her, stopped looking at her, and eventually started looking elsewhere.
Look at yourself, Brenda.
Craig had sneered just 20 minutes earlier, his voice dripping with venom as he dragged her suitcases down the stairs.
You’re barren.
You’ve completely let yourself go.
I need an heir, and I need a wife who doesn’t look like a tragic before picture in a diet magazine.
Megan gives me everything you can’t.
The house is in my name.
My lawyer will send you the divorce papers.
The brutality of his words echoed in her ears over the sound of the rain.
10 years together.
7 years of marriage.
She had worked two jobs to put him through his MBA at Kellogg.
She had sacrificed her own savings to help him start his boutique investment firm.
And now, because her womb was empty and her waistline was wide, she was being discarded like expired milk.
She looked down at her hands, the gold wedding band feeling like a shackle.
Mrs. Gable, the elderly neighbor next door, slightly parted her blinds, her silhouette framed by the warm glow of her living room lamp.
Brenda knew the whole neighborhood would be gossiping about this tomorrow.
Poor fat Brenda.
Tossed out for a younger, thinner, fertile model.
A sob tore through her throat, raw and agonizing.
She knelt in the mud trying to shove her sweaters back into the broken suitcase.
Her wet hair plastered to her cheeks, blinding her.
She had nowhere to go.
Her mother had passed away 5 years ago.
And her only living relative, Aunt Helen, lived in a tiny assisted living facility in Ohio.
Her bank accounts were frozen.
Craig had made sure of that yesterday, claiming it was standard procedure for the divorce.
She was completely, utterly alone, stranded in the suburban purgatory she had once called home.
She didn’t hear the engine at first.
The heavy drumming of the rain masked the deep throaty purr of a V8 engine.
Suddenly, the harsh glare of headlights washed over her.
Brenda squinted through the blinding light, expecting to see a police cruiser.
Craig had threatened to call the cops if she didn’t leave the property within the hour.
Instead, a massive midnight black Cadillac Escalade idled at the curb.
Behind it, a sleek black Lincoln Town Car pulled to a silent halt.
The heavy tinted window of the Escalade rolled down with a smooth mechanical hum.
Brenda froze, clutching a soggy wool cardigan to her chest.
She couldn’t see the man’s face clearly in the shadows, but she could see the glow of a cigar and the sharp, immaculate cut of a bespoke suit.
You’re getting mud on a perfectly good cardigan, Mrs. Pendleton.
A voice rumbled.
It was deep, calm, and carried an undeniable edge of authority.
The heavy door swung open.
A man stepped out into the pouring rain.
He didn’t rush.
He moved with a terrifying deliberate grace.
Another man, built like a brick wall, instantly materialized from the driver’s side, holding a large black umbrella over him.
As the man stepped into the ambient light of the street lamp, Brenda’s breath hitched.
Everyone in Chicago knew who Vincent Romano was, even isolated housewives in Oak Park.
He was the head of the Romano syndicate, a man who controlled the city’s docks, a significant portion of its real estate, and according to whispers, the underground gambling rings.
He was striking, tall, broad-shouldered, with sharp, aristocratic features and dark, calculating eyes that looked like they could strip a person’s secrets bare.
He stopped a few feet from her.
His gaze flicked from her tear-stained face down to her full-soaked figure, and then over to the house where Craig was now standing by the window, staring out in sudden, visible horror.
Vincent took a slow drag from his cigar.
“Craig is a very stupid man,” he said quietly.
“But I never realized just how stupid until tonight.” Brenda scrambled to her feet, her wet shoes slipping on the grass.
She instinctively tried to make herself smaller, crossing her arms over her stomach, acutely aware of how disheveled and massive she must look compared to the tailored perfection of the mob boss standing before her.
“I I don’t understand,” Brenda stammered, her teeth chattering from the cold.
“What do you want?
If you’re looking for Craig, he’s inside.” Vincent didn’t look at the house again.
His dark eyes remained fixed on Brenda.
There was no pity in his gaze.
Pity was something Brenda had grown horribly used to over the last few years, from the nurses at the fertility clinic, from her friends when she gained weight, from strangers who looked at her with polite disdain.
But Vincent looked at her with an intense, razor-sharp curiosity.
“I know exactly where Craig is,” Vincent said, his voice smooth and dangerous.
“I also know that he currently owes my associates $4.2 million, a debt he accumulated through a series of wildly pathetic gambling losses and a failed real estate venture in the South Loop.” Brenda gasped.
“4 million?
But his firm is doing so well.
We just remodeled the kitchen.
Vincent chuckled a low, humorless sound.
Your husband’s firm is a hollow shell, Brenda.
He’s been moving money around to cover his tracks, borrowing from people who do not take kindly to late payments.
The only reason his legs aren’t currently broken is because he promised us he was marrying Megan.
He plans to use her father’s tech fortune to clear his ledger.
The puzzle pieces violently snapped together in Brenda’s mind.
Craig hadn’t just left her because of the baby or the weight.
He had left her to save his own life.
The betrayal deepened, transforming the agonizing sorrow in her chest into a hot, sparking coal of pure rage.
He had mortgaged their lives, lied to her, and then tossed her into the street so he could use a naive 24-year-old heiress as a human shield.
Why are you telling me this?
Brenda asked, her voice shaking, though this time not entirely from the cold.
Because, Brenda, Vincent took a step closer, the massive bodyguard keeping the umbrella perfectly centered over them both, shielding her from the rain for the first time in an hour.
I despise Craig.
He is a coward who handles his business poorly and his wife even worse.
And I find myself in need of a unique arrangement.
Brenda stared at him confused.
An arrangement?
My grandfather, the late Don Carlo, left a very rigid, old-world stipulation in his will.
Vincent explained, flicking a speck of ash onto the wet driveway, to take full legal control of the legitimate family holding company, which is worth billions, I must be married.
Not just engaged.
Married.
And I have exactly 3 weeks before my 30th birthday to fulfill this clause or control passes to my cousin, a man who has all the intellect of a damp sponge.
Brenda blinked the absurdity of the situation momentarily overriding her trauma.
You’re a mafia boss.
Can’t you just find a supermodel or a socialite?
Why on earth would you be talking to me?
Look at me.
I’m I’m fat.
I’m infertile.
I have nothing.
Vincent’s expression hardened, but his voice remained surprisingly gentle.
I do not need a supermodel to stand on my arm and look pretty for the cameras, Brenda.
I live in a world where everyone wants something from me.
I need someone who understands loyalty.
I need someone who has tasted absolute rock bottom and knows how to survive it.
I’ve had my men watching Craig for months.
I know what you did for him.
I know you worked double shifts at that diner on Fourth Street to pay his tuition.
I know you sat by his hospital bed for 2 weeks when he had pneumonia.
You have a quiet strength that he was too blind to appreciate.
He stepped even closer, completely invading her personal space.
The scent of rain, expensive tobacco, and sandalwood washed over her.
As for your size, Vincent murmured, his eyes dropping briefly to her curves before rising to meet hers, holding a strange dark appreciation.
I prefer a woman with substance.
I don’t want a fragile porcelain doll.
I want a queen who can take up space in my world and not break.
And as for children, I don’t want them.
In my line of work, a child is a vulnerability I cannot afford.
Brenda’s heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird.
What are you offering?
Come with me.
Vincent commanded, offering his gloved hand.
Marry me.
In exchange, I will give you access to wealth that Craig could only dream of.
I will give you the finest doctors, not to force your body to do something it doesn’t want to, but to help you heal.
I will give you protection.
And above all, a cruel, wolfish smile spread across his face as he finally glanced back at the window where Craig was still watching his face pale with terror.
I will give you the absolute, undeniable destruction of the man who broke your heart.
Brenda looked at his outstretched hand.
The rain continued to fall around them, creating a curtain that separated them from the rest of the world.
She looked back at her house, the home she had meticulously decorated, the husband who had thrown her out like garbage, the life that was definitively over.
She had two choices, stay here in the mud, penniless and broken, or take the hand of the devil and rise.
Brenda reached out and placed her cold, trembling hand into Vincent’s warm grip.
I’ll need my bags.
She said quietly.
Vincent’s smile reached his eyes.
He snapped his fingers.
Immediately, two men in sharp suits stepped out of the trailing Lincoln, grabbed her muddy suitcases, and loaded them into the back of the Escalade.
Vincent placed his hand on the small of her back, a firm, respectful touch that sent a jolt of electricity down her spine and guided her into the warm, leather-scented interior of the Cadillac.
As the heavy door slammed shut, separating her from her past, Brenda realized her story wasn’t ending tonight.
It was just getting a rewrite in blood.
The morning after Brenda left her old life behind, she woke up in a bed the size of a small island wrapped in Egyptian cotton sheets that felt like spun clouds.
She was in the master guest suite of Vincent Romano’s heavily fortified estate in Lake Forest, a massive stone manor overlooking the gray, churning waters of Lake Michigan.
For the first 3 days, Brenda waited for the other shoe to drop.
She was accustomed to conditional kindness, to the unspoken transactions of her marriage with Craig, where every compliment had a price tag.
But Vincent was a terrifyingly different kind of man.
He didn’t lock her away or treat her like a pawn.
Instead, he systematically began to rebuild her shattered dignity.
It started with her health.
Vincent brought in Dr. Jonathan Hayes, a private concierge physician affiliated with Rush University Medical Center, who completely overhauled Brenda’s medical routine.
There were no more grueling fertility drugs, no more degrading weigh-ins.
“Your body has been through a war,” Dr. Hayes told her during their first consultation in the estate’s sunroom.
“The previous clinic pumped you full of synthetic hormones that wrecked your endocrine system.
We aren’t focusing on your weight, Mrs. Pendleton.
We are focusing on getting your energy back.”
“It will soon be Mrs. Romano,” Vincent had corrected from the doorway, his voice a low reassuring rumble.
He had leaned against the door frame, a dark tailored suit hugging his broad shoulders, his eyes entirely focused on Brenda.
And she is to have whatever she needs.
No compromises.
Then came the transformation of her wardrobe.
Brenda had spent the last 3 years hiding her heavy body in oversized sweaters and shapeless maternity clothes she had bought in tragic premature hope.
Vincent arranged for an elite team of tailors from Oak Street to come to the estate.
They didn’t bring measuring tapes to shame her.
They brought silks, cashmeres, and velvets.
When Brenda looked in the floor-to-ceiling mirror a week later, she didn’t recognize the woman staring back.
She was wearing a custom deep burgundy wrap dress that cinched her waist and celebrated her generous curves.
Her dark hair, previously a frizzy neglected mess, had been professionally glossed and styled into soft, elegant waves.
Vincent stepped behind her in the reflection, placing his large, warm hands gently on her shoulders.
You look dangerous, Brenda.
He murmured, his dark eyes meeting hers in the glass.
The hunger in his gaze was unmistakable, sending a startling flush of heat down to her toes.
He wasn’t looking at her like a favor or a charity case.
He was looking at her like a prize.
I feel like an impostor.
She whispered, her hands trembling as she touched the expensive fabric.
You are shedding an impostor’s life.
Vincent corrected, turning her around to face him.
Craig convinced you that you were small because he was terrified of your strength.
Tomorrow we sign the marriage papers at the Cook County Courthouse.
Then we take control of my grandfather’s holding company.
And after that, we introduce Craig to the consequences of his actions.
The marriage was a swift, highly confidential affair in a judge’s private chambers.
Brenda wore a tailored ivory pant suit.
Vincent wore a charcoal bespoke suit and slipped a 4-carat emerald-cut diamond ring onto her finger.
It was a business transaction.
Yet when Vincent leaned in to seal the vow, his lips were incredibly soft against hers, lingering just a second longer than strictly necessary.
Brenda’s heart betrayed her, skipping a violent beat.
Once the ink was dry, the Romano empire mobilized.
Vincent didn’t just target Craig’s kneecaps, he targeted his reality.
Through his vast network of shadow financiers and high-powered attorneys, Vincent quietly bought out the $4.2 million debt Craig owed to the rival syndicates.
Overnight, Vincent became Craig’s sole creditor.
Then Vincent turned his sights on Pendleton Capital.
He leaked a heavily encrypted anonymous tip to the SEC regarding Craig’s creative accounting practices.
He ensured that Megan’s father, the ruthless shipping magnate William Davenport, received an anonymous dossier outlining Craig’s crippling financial ruin.
Brenda watched the dismantling of her ex-husband’s life from the safety of Vincent’s study, sipping hot chamomile tea as the reports rolled in.
It felt surreal.
For years, she had felt powerless, trapped in a shrinking cage of inadequacy.
Now she was sitting beside a kingmaker, watching the man who threw her in the rain drown in his own making.
But Craig, desperate and cornered like a rat, was bound to make one final reckless move.
Two weeks after their quiet, heavily guarded wedding in a judge’s private chambers, Vincent decided it was time to introduce his new wife to the world.
They were to attend the Field Museum’s annual black-tie charity gala, the undisputed crown jewel of Chicago’s high society.
For Brenda, it was more than just a social debut.
It was a psychological crossing of the Rubicon.
She stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the master suite, her breath catching in her throat.
The reflection staring back at her was a woman she barely recognized, yet intimately knew.
She was draped in a custom emerald-green silk gown that had been meticulously designed to celebrate her thick, lush curves, rather than hide them.
The fabric cinched tightly at her waist before cascading into a dramatic, sweeping train.
The deep neckline showcased the heavy diamond collar resting against her skin.
For the first time in years, she didn’t feel the burning need to suck in her stomach or drape a cardigan over her arms.
She felt solid.
She felt powerful.
Vincent stepped into the frame, dressed in a ruthless bespoke tuxedo that emphasized the sheer, intimidating breadth of his shoulders.
He didn’t say a word at first.
He simply met her gaze in the mirror, his dark eyes burning with a possessive heat that sent a delicious shiver down her spine.
“You are a terrifyingly beautiful woman, Brenda.” he murmured, his deep voice vibrating in the quiet room.
He pressed a kiss to the bare skin of her shoulder.
“Tonight, the city will know exactly who owns the Romano empire and who stands beside him.
When they stepped out of the armored Maybach and onto the red carpet, the flash bulbs erupted in a blinding, chaotic frenzy.
Whispers rippled through the elite crowd like wildfire.
Isn’t that Brenda, Craig’s ex-wife?
Good God, she married Vincent Romano, the syndicate boss.
Look at her.
I thought Craig said she had let herself go.
She looks incredible.
Vincent led her through the grand hall, past the towering dinosaur exhibits and champagne towers, moving with the terrifying, unhurried grace of an apex predator inspecting his territory.
Brenda kept her chin high, her hand securely tucked into the crook of Vincent’s arm.
She didn’t shrink away from the stares.
She leaned into the power that radiated off the man beside her.
Halfway through the evening, as Vincent stepped away momentarily to speak with a city alderman, a frantic, clammy hand clamped onto Brenda’s wrist.
She turned sharply.
It was Craig.
The sight of her ex-husband made her stomach churn, but not out of fear, out of sheer disgust.
Craig looked horrendous.
His normally immaculate blond hair was greasy and unkempt, sticking out in strange angles.
The expensive tuxedo he wore hung loosely on his frame.
His face was gaunt, and his eyes bloodshot and manic.
Brenda.
Craig gasped, his grip tightening enough to bruise.
Brenda, thank God.
You have to call him off.
You have to help me.
Brenda calmly looked down at the hand grabbing her, then back up to his sweating, pathetic face.
Let go of me, Craig.
Now.
You don’t understand, Craig begged, his voice cracking, entirely oblivious to the wealthy socialites who were now stopping to stare.
My accounts are frozen.
The SEC raided my office yesterday morning.
William Davenport canceled the wedding and threatened to have me killed.
Megan won’t even return my calls, and the people I owe money to, they sold my debt.
They sold it to him.
Craig pointed a trembling accusing finger across the room toward the shadow where Vincent had been standing.
I am fully aware, Brenda said smoothly, her voice eerily calm.
She didn’t feel an ounce of the sorrow or inadequacy she had felt that night in the rain.
Vincent owns your debt, Craig, which means Vincent owns you.
You planned this.
Craig hissed, his panic instantly morphing into vicious, ugly rage.
The facade of the polished investment banker shattered completely.
You fat, useless cow.
You manipulated a mob boss into ruining my life because you couldn’t give me a child.
I’ll kill you, I swear to God.
Craig raised his hand, balling his fist to strike her right there in the middle of the gala.
He never got the chance to swing.
A massive, immaculately manicured hand wrapped around Craig’s throat from behind, squeezing with industrial, bone-crushing force.
Craig choked, his eyes bulging as his face instantly turned a mottled, bruised purple.
His feet were lifted completely off the polished marble floor.
Vincent Romano stood behind him, his expression a mask of terrifying, lethal calm.
He didn’t yell.
He didn’t make a scene.
He simply leaned in close to Craig’s ear, his voice slicing through the ambient jazz music like a straight razor.
If you ever speak to my wife in that tone again, Vincent whispered the deadly promise, freezing the blood in Craig’s veins.
I will peel the skin from your bones and make you swallow it.
Do you understand me Craig?
Craig gagged, tearing uselessly at Vincent’s iron grip, tears of pure unadulterated agony streaming down his cheeks.
He gave a pathetic suffocating nod.
Vincent, Brenda said softly, stepping forward and placing a gentle grounding hand on her husband’s forearm.
He’s not worth dirtying your suit.
Vincent’s eyes flicked to Brenda.
The murderous rage in his gaze softened just a fraction at her touch.
He casually opened his hand, letting Craig crash to the floor in a gasping, retching heap.
You’re right, Mia Regina.
Vincent murmured casually, adjusting his cuffs as if he had just taken out the trash.
He looked down at Craig with pure contempt.
I prefer to let the authorities handle the garbage.
Right on cue, heavy deliberate footsteps echoed across the hall.
Two detectives from the Chicago Police Department’s white-collar crime division flanked Craig, grabbing his arms and pulling him roughly to his feet.
Craig, one of the detectives barked, pulling out a pair of heavy steel handcuffs.
You’re under arrest for federal wire fraud, embezzlement, and forging the signature of Megan on a $4 million trust line.
Craig’s eyes widened in horror, the realization of his absolute ruin finally settling in.
What?
No.
No, that was a mistake.
Brenda, Brenda, please, you know me.
Brenda watched with ice in her veins as they slapped the handcuffs onto the wrists of the man who had discarded her like broken furniture.
She didn’t flinch.
She didn’t look away.
She watched until they dragged him out the heavy brass doors, hauling him out into the flashing blue lights of the waiting police cruisers.
The grand hall was dead silent, every eye fixed on the new queen of Chicago.
Vincent turned to Brenda, offering his arm once more.
Shall we get some fresh air?
They walked out onto the grand terrace overlooking the dark expansive Lake Michigan.
The night air was cool and crisp, a stark contrast to the stifling electric drama inside.
Brenda leaned against the stone balustrade, looking out at the glittering city skyline.
He forged Megan’s signature.
Brenda asked quietly, the breeze playing with her dark hair.
He did.
Vincent replied.
He stepped close behind her, wrapping his strong arms around her waist and pulling her warm, soft back flush against his chest.
I simply made sure the undeniable proof ended up on the right detective’s desk.
He will spend the next 20 years in a federal penitentiary.
His firm is ash.
His reputation is dust.
He will never hurt you again.
Brenda leaned back into his solid frame, a profound, overwhelming sense of peace washing over her.
You did all of that for me.
I did that because he dared to hurt what is mine.
Vincent corrected his voice, dropping an octave as he pressed a slow kiss against her temple.
I told you I needed a wife to secure my grandfather’s empire, Brenda, but I didn’t tell you the whole truth.
Brenda turned in his arms, looking up into his dark, intense eyes.
What is the truth?
The truth is I’ve known who you were for 2 years.
Vincent confessed, his hand rising to gently trace the curve of her jaw.
I saw you at a charity luncheon you catered for Craig’s firm.
I saw how he dismissed you.
And I saw the quiet, fierce grace you carried yourself with despite his cruelty.
I had my men keep an eye on you.
He looked deeply into her eyes, stripping away the ruthless mafia boss to reveal the man underneath.
I didn’t choose you out of convenience, Brenda.
I chose you because I wanted you, every inch of you.
I prefer a woman who takes up space in my life, and I waited for the exact moment he was stupid enough to let you go.
Brenda’s breath hitched.
For 10 years she had chased a conditional love, starved herself for it, endured agonizing medical treatments for it, and begged for scraps of affection.
And here it was, standing in the moonlight, a love that was fiercely protective, undeniably dark, and entirely devoted to her, exactly as she was.
She reached up, tangling her fingers in the lapels of his tuxedo, and pulled him down to her.
When their lips met this time, there was no hesitation, no holding back.
It was a searing, passionate promise of a new empire.
She had been thrown into the ring as a broken, discarded wife.
But tonight, she was walking out of the storm as a mafia queen.
And that is how Brenda went from a discarded wife to a powerful mafia queen.
Craig got exactly what he deserved and Brenda found a man who worships the ground she walks on.
