The Price of Revenge

Sorry after everything?

Sorry after your wife nearly ruined my life?

Then suddenly he said:

“She was arrested.”

I looked back immediately.

“What?”

He nodded.

“Police came yesterday.”

For a few seconds I said nothing.

Because reality suddenly felt strange.

Very strange.

Months ago I didn’t even know these people.

Now somebody was in police custody because of me.

Then Daniel said quietly:

“She keeps asking about you.”

I frowned.

“What?”

“She keeps crying.”

Silence.

Long silence.

Then he looked at me carefully.

“I think she lost herself.”

And honestly?

For the first time…

I believed him.

Because normal anger does not carry boiling water.

Something had broken inside her long before that day.
