Chapter 12 - THE DIVORCE
Ryan thought the sanctuary outcome might save the marriage.
It did not.
He said:
“I never wanted to take it from you.”
Claire answered:
“You wanted them to doubt me.”
“That’s different.”
“No.”
He looked down.
Claire continued:
“You watched me believe Daisy was dead because you wanted to see what I’d do.”
Ryan said:
“I thought you’d realize it was fake.”
Claire stared.
“That sentence is why we’re done.”
The divorce proceeded.
No giant courtroom revenge.
No secret fortune.
No destruction.
Just division.
House.
Savings.
Retirement.
Furniture.

Daisy went with Claire.
There was never any question.
