The next morning, Daniel was standing outside my office before sunrise

Only disbelief.

“You planned this.”

I shook my head.

“No.”

She frowned.

“I trusted him.”

For the first time in years, she had no response.

Neither did Daniel.

Three months later, the divorce was finalized.

I kept the house.

Half the investments.

Most importantly, my dignity.

As for the wedding gift?

The gift I carried out of that ballroom?

I finally mailed it to Daniel’s sister after everything ended.

Inside the box was a handwritten note.
