“My house.Three o’clock.Bring snacks,” I say, and stride down to my office.

CHAPTER THIRTY
GEMMA
––––––––
Adelivery of fiftywhite roses arrives Sunday afternoon.They are the most stunning roses I’ve ever seen.
I force myself to open the card because I know it’s from Drew.
Peace.I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused you.Know that I can’t stop thinking about you.Drew x
Sadness fills my chest as I walk to the kitchen to find a vase—four vases—to put them in.
I should toss them out, but they are so beautiful, and I’m not the kind of woman who holds a grudge.
Thankfully Zoe is in front of her tablet watching a movie, so I have space to wallow.To think.To feel.
My heart hurts thinking Anthony cheated.I’ve nearly phoned Drew a dozen times to ask questions.He clearly has information and answers, but I don’t know if I want to hear it.
I believe him.
Sure, he has reason to lie, but I feel it in my bones that it’s the truth.
As hard as it is to accept.
Never in all the time we were married did I question Anthony’s loyalty.But discovering the missing millions planted a seed of doubt that has been growing inside me since.
Something doesn’t add up.
Eventually, I will talk to Drew and ask him to share what he knows.
Right now, as odd as this sounds, I’m more upset about us.
