Adrian later told everyone he had “handled” the problem. That wasn’t what happened.
I had purchased the property outright through a holding company established before our marriage, using inheritance money my grandmother had left solely to me.
Adrian knew. More importantly… he had signed the paperwork. He simply never bothered understanding what those documents actually said.
By midnight, I was sitting across from my attorney, Lily Hayes. Spread across the table were years of bank records.
Copies of the suspicious transactions I had found. Documentation of what had happened that morning.
And the slim blue folder. Lily opened it. She read the first page. Then looked up at me.
“He really told you to leave?” “Yes.” Her eyes returned to the property documents.
A faint smile appeared. “Then tomorrow morning is going to be very educational.”
For Adrian. And Margaret. Because the next morning, they came looking for me together.
Adrian still believed he was arriving to demand an apology. Margaret apparently expected she was finally going to get her European vacation.
Neither of them expected to find me standing there with Lily beside me…
and the blue folder in my hands. Then Adrian saw which document was resting on top.
His expression changed. And for the first time since this began… he stopped talking.
I know everyone is very curious about the next part, so if you want to read more, please leave a “YES” comment below!
