He Laughed and Asked What Money I Thought I Was Leaving With Since I “Didn’t Even Have a Job” – He Never Knew the Dependent Wife He’d Built a Cage Around Was Sitting on Sixty-One Million Dollars
“Not everything in my life is about you, Gavin.” “I’m starting to understand that,” he said, with a sad smile, and I believe he was.
Near the exit I passed Camila, there on behalf of some vendor, and she stopped me to apologize.
“For a long time,” she said, “I thought you were someone who did nothing all day.
Gavin talked about you like you were completely dependent on him.
It made me feel superior.
And after he lost everything I realized what we had was built on nothing but secrecy.” “I don’t need your apology,” I told her, not unkindly.
“Just don’t ever rebuild your sense of yourself by trying to replace another woman.” The years after were quieter and better than anything that came before.
