So I placed the tablet back exactly where it was.
When he stepped out of the shower, smiling like nothing had happened, I kissed his cheek.
“Good morning,” I told him softly.
He smiled back.
“Morning, babe.”
That was the moment the two-week countdown began.
For the next fourteen days, I played the role perfectly.
The supportive wife.
The cheerful friend.
The trusting partner.
I even met Natalie for brunch like we always did.
She sat across from me complaining about how lonely she felt.
“I wish I had what you and Daniel have,” she sighed dramatically.
I smiled.
“You’re closer to it than you realize.”
While they played their secret romance, I quietly gathered evidence.
I hired a forensic accountant.
And a private investigator.
Because every financial account Daniel had… legally belonged to both of us.
The truth came out quickly.
Luxury hotel suites.
Plane tickets.
Expensive jewelry.
Over $40,000 spent on Natalie within six months.
Money that should have gone toward Sophie’s future.
The investigator also delivered photographs.
Crystal-clear images.
Daniel and Natalie kissing in Central Park.
Walking hand-in-hand into a hotel.
Leaving her apartment late at night.
That’s when I planned the final move.
