“You… you can’t—”

“I can,” I said. “And I did.”

Kelly leaned back, suddenly uneasy.

Then I swiped my screen.

And showed her a video.

Kelly’s face on camera.

Her hands inside my bag.

Her head darting around nervously.

Her fingers pulling things out.

Kelly’s skin turned white.

Olivia looked at her daughter like she’d never seen her before.

Larry just stared, frozen.

I watched them all carefully.

And then I delivered the final blow.

“I have a list of every item you took,” I said. “And if you don’t leave me alone, I’ll make sure the authorities get all of it.”

Kelly’s lips trembled.

“That’s… that’s insane—”

“No,” I said. “What’s insane is thinking you could treat me like property and walk away clean.”

Larry suddenly leaned forward, voice shaking.

“Julie… please. Don’t. We can talk—”

I cut him off with one look.

Then I reached into my purse again.

And pulled out the photographs.

Larry’s face drained of color before I even turned the screen.

“What is that?” Olivia demanded.

I slid the phone across so she could see.

Larry and a woman entering a hotel together.

Clear as daylight.

Olivia’s mouth opened.

Kelly let out a sharp laugh—then stopped when she realized this was real.

Larry reached for my phone in panic.
