[Post something immediately to clear this up. Do that, and I'll pretend nothing happened.]

[Lorraine, don't forget—your parents are retired. Your entire family depends on ME now. I'm not the man I used to be!]

Then a friend request popped up.

From the girl Roger had been so desperate to protect.

Judy Fox.

She sent videos. Photos. And a message:

[Lorraine, Roger stopped loving you a long time ago. Staying with you was just obligation.]

[Since we're all done pretending now...]

[Why bother hiding anymore? So what if public opinion destroys me? The brave get to enjoy the world first!]

[The more people attack me, the more your husband loves me. The better my odds. Believe it or not!]

I watched the video she'd sent.

Roger, already making arrangements to transfer assets. His voice on a phone call, giving instructions:

"Separate everything from my marriage to Lorraine—including my overseas holdings. Transfer it all into Judy's name. Make it seamless. Lorraine has zero tolerance for deception, so I need to prepare for the worst."

"Understood, sir."

"If Lorraine can accept this situation, admit she was wrong, and make room for Judy... then fine. She stays Mrs. Simmons."
