Watching my own wife fly into a rage to defend another man—
A bleak chill settled over my heart.
The love I'd given her.
She'd turned it into a weapon, a license to trample me and betray me.
A woman like that, ungrateful no matter how much you gave her.
She deserved everything that was coming.
The warmth drained from my eyes. "I wasn't planning to go this far. One percent of the company's equity. The annual dividends alone would've been enough to live on. You wouldn't have ended up begging on the street."
"But now? I've changed my mind. You won't see a single share. Not even that one percent."
"On top of that, you're going to repay every cent you siphoned from the company. Three and a half million dollars, principal and interest, all of it."
"I'm giving you one week."
"If I don't see the money by then, you'll rot in prison."
