Chapter 11 - DANIEL ASKED ME NOT TO DIVORCE HIMHe came to my apartment four months later.
I had filed.
He knew.
Still, he asked.
“Can we try?”
I looked at him.
“We already did.”
“No, I mean therapy.”
“I’m in therapy.”
“Together.”
“No.”
His face broke.
“I love you.”
I believed him.
That was painful.
“You watched your mother drag me by my hair.”
“I froze.”
“You transferred the money.”
“Yes.”
“You knew she would accuse me.”
“Yes.”
“You took money from Owen for years.”
“Yes.”
“You were willing to let me face police suspicion so your brother could complete a deal.”
He cried.
“I know.”
I continued:
“You did not make one mistake.”
Silence.
“You built a system where betraying me became reasonable to you.”
That was the end.
Daniel nodded eventually.
