Chapter 5: Divorce Begins

Three weeks later...
Skylar officially filed for divorce.
No dramatic speeches.
No revenge.
Only facts.
Medical records.
Witness statements.
Police reports.
Security footage.
Financial records showing repeated unauthorized withdrawals Derek had pressured her into making for Suzanne.
During mediation Derek suddenly changed his strategy.
"I lost my temper."
"I'll get counseling."
"I still love my wife."
Skylar looked directly at him.
"You don't love me."
May you like
"You loved controlling me."
No one in the room argued.
