My husband repeatedly sla***ed me in the face over a trivial matter. The next morning, he saw a lavish feast and said, “It’s good that you’ve finally come to your senses!” But he panicked and nearly fainted from shock after seeing the guests seated at the table…

“You chose the wrong woman.”

He stared at me in disbelief.

Then I continued.

“For three years, you called me weak. You spent money you thought belonged to you. You forged signatures you assumed I’d never read. And you slept with women you believed I’d never discover.”

Lena lowered her eyes.

Daniel sneered suddenly. “You think recordings scare me?”

“No,” I replied calmly. “The recordings are for the assault charges. The fraud charges are much worse.”

Mr. Hale slid several papers across the table.

“The bank investigation is complete,” he announced. “Business expansion loans were secured using forged collateral under Mrs. Mercer’s identity.”

Victor swallowed hard.
