Chapter 80

I missed my wife. Getting on that plane had been the hardest thing I’d had to do as of late but I had to leave her to work. The time away in Paris had been good for us. I loved every single second of it. We were much closer than we had been in a long long time.

“I just want this whole mess behind me and I don’t want your sleazy brother to get even a cent of my money.”

“We all want the same thing here.” I sighed, digging into my pocket and looking at my wife’s messages.

She was on set right now and I knew she would only wrap up much later. I hated that we had to be far apart but it was only two weeks then she would be back in my arms again.
