Chapter 28

I watched as my wife stared at the documents scattered on her desk in complete silence. There were billions of thoughts running through her head and I didn't know how to assure her that I knew she didn't steal from me. Yes, I had my own questions, but I wasn't going to speak out a single word that would make her think that I didn't trust her, because I trusted her.

"I. I don't know how it got here," she whispered, looking at her account number that she had highlighted. "This doesn't make any sense."

"Sunshine, maybe we should go home and calmly think about this together," I told her. Nobody was at the company but us and the security guards downstairs.

Emily ignored me and opened her computer. I didn't know what she wanted to do, but I wasn't going to leave her alone. Even if she decided to pull an all-nighter, I was going to stay with her.

I waited for her to do whatever she wanted. I wanted her to calm down and put this all behind her. The money wasn't even that much. The ring on her finger cost more than the stolen money by at least seven times. "It's not there... Her voice cracked, breaking my heart.

"Emily, I don't care, I swear, I don't care," I muttered, placing my hand over hers
