At 2:00 a.m., My Husband Thought I Was Asleep While He Emptied Our Safe to Run Off With His Mistress. Before Leaving, He Kissed Me and Whispered, “Poor Audrey. You Never Saw This Coming.” Hours Later He Sent a Photo From the Airport. I Replied With Four Words That Made Him Call Me Immediately.

“My mother’s real diamond bracelet has been in a bank vault for eight months.

What you took from the safe last night is a two-hundred-dollar cubic zirconia copy.”

Chloe cursed in the background.

Daniel’s breathing turned uneven.

“Audrey, listen to me.

We can fix this.

We can talk about this like adults.”

“No, Daniel.”
