“Claire… I can explain.”
He gave me everything.
Excuses dressed as honesty.
“It’s complicated.”
“I didn’t plan this.”
“I was going to tell you.”
“I still care about you.”
Every word was an insult.
He wanted sympathy… for betraying me.
I let him talk.
Then I said:
“I moved the money.”
Silence again.
“Rebecca Sloan is my attorney. I have records, screenshots, everything.”
His tone changed instantly.
“You had no right—”
“I had every right,” I said calmly.
“You used our marriage as infrastructure.”
That ended it.
The weeks that followed were ugly—but clear.
Ethan tried to play the confused man caught between two lives.
But facts don’t lie.
The records showed everything:
Rent for her apartment
Maternity bills
Furniture
A car
All paid using marital money.
He told her I was distant.
