#44 “Could It Be Possible that She’s… My Ex-wife?”

Alexander had canceled all his appointments for the day, choosing to drown his sorrows in whiskey as he grappled with the whirlwind of emotions that had consumed him.

Michael’s response was filled with amusement. “You don’t even know? Apparently, she really doesn’t trust you.
