THE GODMOTHER

Me: I’ve just turned forty. My ex dumped me a year ago — and I’m still not over him. 

Her: My best friend Maddie has everything I’ve ever wanted. A successful, handsome husband. A designer riverside home. A cleaner. A gardener. A luxury kitchen that cost three times my salary. And Joe, their sixteen-year-old son. 

Him: Joe, my strapping, sweet-natured godson, says I’m like his second mum. Sometimes I think I’m closer to him than his real mum. 

Then, late one night, there’s a hammering at the door. It’s Joe. Visibly upset and angry. He rushes past me before I even get the chance to invite him inside. 

What he tells me — and what happens next will destroy EVERYTHING.
