“You think I don’t know you cheated?” My face got much colder. “I have the records of every time you booked a room. That bitch even sent me a video of you two sleeping around to taunt me. If my sister hadn’t been sick, I wouldn’t have wasted time on someone so heartless. I would have left long ago. Now go change the divorce papers so the property is split. Go get that 40 thousand back from that bitch. If you stall, I will make sure you walk away with nothing.”
“Zerra, you finally stopped pretending and started fighting for money, huh? After I heard about the demolition, I was already watching out for this. I’ve already put the old house in Melly’s name.”
Mike dropped all pretense and went on, “Oh, and by the way, I’ve already taken out loans with the house and car as collateral. After the divorce, you won’t get a single penny, but you’ll still have to pay half the debt. Didn’t you want to play the saint? Fine, I’ll let you — you can help me pay off that loan.”
His words hit me like thunder in June. I stared at him, stunned, never imagining the man beside me in bed could be this scheming.
Stella gripped my hand tightly. I could feel her trembling, just like I was trembling with rage.
