He stood too.
“You can’t seriously turn down the life I’m offering.”
“I can.”
He lowered his voice.
“You’re making a terrible mistake.”
I lifted my phone.
“I recorded our conversation.”
Karl went completely still.
“What?”
“The money. The staged emergency. Daniel’s involvement. Everything.”
His face lost its color.
“Megan, please tell me you’re joking.”
“I’m taking this to the police.”
He stared at me as though I’d betrayed him.
“How could you do that to your own husband?”
I felt tears gathering.
“The husband I thought I married would never have put me through this.”
The bus doors opened.
I stepped into the aisle.
The elderly woman across from us gave me a small nod.
Karl followed me a few steps.
“Megan, please. Don’t destroy our future!”
I turned toward him.
“You destroyed our future when you decided a fortune was worth more than my trust.”
