Chapter 8 - The Trap Already Set

Julian moved quickly.
Too quickly.
The court documents claimed I had approved everything.
My own signature was there.
My own name.
My own supposed permission.
I felt trapped.
Then Vanessa contacted me.
I almost ignored her.
But I answered.
“I need to tell you something.”
She sounded different.
Not confident.
Not arrogant.
Afraid.
She admitted Julian had lied to her too.
“He told me you were already divorced.”
I closed my eyes.
Another lie.
Vanessa had been fooled.
But she had something.
A photo from Julian’s vacation.
In the background was a safe deposit box receipt.
