“Don’t look at me like that, Karl. This would never have worked.”


“We were together for a year before we married, and we were spouses for nine years.” Karl said tightly. “If you knew it wouldn’t work, why did you marry me?”


“I thought I could try.” Robert shook his head. “And I failed.”


“You failed, all right. Failed right into Tiffany’s pussy.”


“You were at the office day and night. I never saw you.”


“And that justifies cheating on me? You’re supposed to support me, not betray me!”


And Robert had supported him when Karl was earning millions as a sports star. And he had supported Karl through his treatment after the sucker punch that ended his career. But then he had started to back off a little when Karl trained to become a cop and went onto the streets. He didn’t even come to Karl’s inauguration to becoming a detective eighteen months before.
