“You should ask him.”
“I did. He won’t explain.”
She lowered her voice.
“He needs to tell you himself.”
I felt my stomach tighten.
“Are you having an affair with my husband?”
Her eyes widened.
“No!”
“Then why are you giving him secret messages?”
“Jennifer, please. This is something he needs to explain.”
“Why won’t you just tell me?”
She looked upset.
“I’m trying not to destroy your marriage.”
I stared at her.
“Then why threaten to reveal something?”
Dakota stepped back.
“Please leave. I can’t have this conversation right now.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
I returned home furious.
Tony had already driven away.

If neither of them would tell me the truth, I was going to find out what I could.

I started with the documents Tony kept in his home office.
