Chapter 4

Holt paused for a moment, then explained, "We've been married for a while now. You know better than anyone if I've ever been abusive, don't you? Or did you believe someone else? Was it that Sherry person?"

"You know Sherry?"

Holt nodded quickly, "I do know her. Not only do I know her, but she's been causing me a lot of trouble."

Seeing my confused look, Holt continued, "Darling, don't believe what Sherry says. She's my ex-girlfriend. Things didn't end well when we broke up. She's always trying to slander me, saying I'm abusive and that I drove my ex to her death. But she is my ex! If you don't believe me, I have a picture of her in my wallet. You can take a look..."

Half-believing, I took out his wallet. Sure enough, there was a photo inside – an intimate picture of him and Sherry together.
