“Ella, what exactly does Kelly do with the money you both have been saving?”
I frowned.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Because if he is planning to leave you, we need to understand whether he has also been preparing financially.”
I thought about the money we had been saving to buy a better house. I remembered the withdrawals Kelly had explained as business expenses.
I had trusted him so completely that I had never questioned him.
Now I wondered whether that trust had been my greatest mistake.
The next morning, I decided to visit the bank.
I had no idea that the numbers on those statements would reveal a secret far more serious than an affair.
At the bank, I requested a statement for our joint savings account.
The customer service representative printed several pages and handed them to me.
I began examining the transactions.
At first, everything looked normal.
