It has been a month ago today that my wife walked into my office and asked for a divorce. She told me that she had hired a private investigator and had an entire portfolio of photographs of my recent indiscretions. If this were to be made public it would be very humiliating for me professionally. A quick glance at the separation paper drawn up by her attor...
Sunken into the plush leather couch in Jack's living room, cradling her coffee, Max scanned the newspaper. It had been years since she'd held a real printed paper.
