Chapter 19

"Why are there divorce papers here?" Veronica repeated after there wasn't a response fast enough the first time.

"It is not what you think it is," Jerome said, walking toward Veronica to take the documents.

"How is it not what I think when I can read they are divorce papers? If our marriage is so perfect, why are there divorce papers in his office?" Veronica asked, not believing anything she was told now. 

"It is my fault that they are there instead of thrown away. If your husband knew there was another here, he would be angry with me. I was the one who put away most of the documents here. His mother kept sending divorce papers and when Liam found them, he threw them away," Jerome explained.

"If he keeps throwing the papers out, why didn't you think to throw this one out? None of you make it easy for me to trust you for long," Veronica said, shaking her head as she refused to believe Jerome.

Was she asking for too much?
