Had he been preparing his new life while I was still making his breakfast and washing his clothes?
I called Mr. Collins.
He reviewed the documents and advised me to obtain the complete transaction history. We were already divorced, but if
there had been undisclosed marital assets, there could be legal implications.
I didn’t want revenge.
I wanted the truth.
A few days later, the accountant sent the remaining records.
The money had been transferred to an account in Gary’s name.
And three weeks later, another $12,000 had been moved.
The total was $50,000.
I felt sick.
I remembered the night Gary had told me he was leaving.
He had stood in our kitchen, his arms folded, and said he needed a fresh start.
I had asked whether he
had thought about our finances.
He had replied, “Don’t worry about the money. I’ll take care of myself.”
Now I understood what he meant.
