He headed upstairs, grabbed what he needed
from his study, and turned to leave.
I tapped my fingers on the coffee table.
“What is this, Michael?”
He stopped, glaring at me.
“Becky is a dedicated employee who was
unfairly targeted and driven out of the
company. I’m correcting my mistake. She
deserves this.”
“What if I demand you fire her?”
“Try it. I won’t let you bully her. I won’t let you
get away with this.”
Michael turned and left the sound of the door
Michael turned and left, the sound of the door echoing through the house.
At that moment, I gave up on him.
Our five–year marriage had cracked because of a woman who’d been around for less than
a month.
I sat on the sofa, consumed by anger and betrayal.
The water glass shattered in my hand, blood dripping onto the floor.
I grabbed my phone and called my lawyer,
Leo Green.
“I need a divorce agreement, Leo,
immediately. I want everything divided fairly
L
“Mrs. Sterling, are you sure? Divorce is not a
small thing.”
“I need to see the agreement in three days.”
“Understood. Should I notify Mr. Sterling?”
“No. This is my decision.”
After hanging up, I opened my laptop and
pulled up all the files related to Sterling Corp.
I had given Michael so many resources over
the past five years.
And now, it was time to take them back.
I sent a message to my company
headquarters ordering all partners to halt
projects with Sterling Corp.
The phone rang. It was my dad.
He spoke directly.
“I’ve decided to divorce Michael.”
He waited a beat before replying.
“You’ve thought about this?”
“Yes”
“Then, I support you, me and your mother.”
“Don’t hesitate now Susan, we never have.”
In a few days, I got ready to move.
The phone rang, it was Michael.
“My dad’s birthday, he wants us at the family
home.”
“I will be there”
It was time for the reveal.
