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.

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