I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 52: THE REVEAL
I left before the house was fully awake.I'd dressed in the dark, kissed both my sleeping girls, and told Mrs. Rose, quietly, in the kitchen, that I was going out and would be back for the afternoon and that she should keep the girls close and call me if anything happened. She looked at me for a long moment, this woman who'd asked me in a garden if I could see and got no answer, and she didn't ask again. She just said, "Go do what you need to do. I've got them."I took my own car. That was the first thing. Not a driver, not a taxi, my own car, which I hadn't driven in three years, and I got in and put my hands on the wheel and pulled out of the drive and drove myself down streets I could see, and it was the most ordinary and the most impossible thing in the world.And I didn't use the hidden phone. I used my own. Because there was nothing left to hide.I called Damian from the road."They know," I said, when he picked up. "Both of them. It's out. I told them yesterday, I stopped prete
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 51: THE LAST NIGHT
They didn't sleep that night, and neither did I, and the house stayed awake around all of us like a held breath.I could hear them in the study. Late, long past when the girls were down, Alexander's voice and Elara's, low and fast and urgent through the wall, and I didn't need the words to know the shape of it. They were building their strategy. Racing me. Elara had told me in the kitchen that he'd move now, file everything, get ahead of me, and here it was, the sound of it, two people who'd been careful for a year suddenly out of time and scrambling to be fast.I sat in my room in the dark and listened, and I did not go to bed, because there was no point pretending to sleep anymore. The pretending was over. That was the strange, hollow freedom of it. After four months of performing every second, there was nothing left to perform. They knew. I knew they knew. The mask was on the floor where I'd dropped it in the kitchen that morning, and I was just Clara now, sitting in the dark with
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 50: ELARA CORNERED CLARA
Clara’s POVShe came for me in the kitchen the next morning, when the girls were at their program and Alexander was out and the house was empty enough for her to drop the act.I was at the counter when I heard her come in, and I felt the change in the air before she said a word, that charged, spoiled quiet of a person arriving with something loaded. I kept my back half to her. I kept feeling for the mug in front of me, blind, careful, out of habit, out of four months of habit."You can stop now," Elara said.I went still."The blind thing." Her voice was flat and hard, no warmth left in it, none of the tea-and-concern she'd been performing since the papers landed. "You can stop. It's just us. Alexander told me everything. He knows you can see Clara. He watched you flinch away from that glass. So drop it. I'm tired of watching you feel around for a mug you can see perfectly well."I stood there with my hand on the counter, and I felt the moment arrive, the one I'd been holding off for
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 49: THE FIGHT THAT BROKE OPEN
And this was the thing I hadn't prepared for, standing there. I knew. I was certain. I saw it with my own eyes in that office an hour ago. And she was sitting in front of me denying it so completely, so calmly, with such flawless conviction, that I could feel my own certainty being sanded down at the edges, could feel the doubt trying to creep back in, and I understood, with a kind of cold admiration I hated, that this was a weapon too. Her denial was as practiced as her blindness. She'd deny it to my face until I doubted what I'd seen, because a denial that is perfect makes the accuser feel like the mad one."Stop it," I said. "Stop performing. It's just us. There's no one here to see the show. Drop it.""I don't know what you want me to say." Her voice wavered, just slightly, fear coming into it, a frightened blind woman being loomed over by her husband. "You're standing over me saying I've been lying about being blind. Do you hear how that sounds? Why would I, why would anyone, Ale
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 48: I TOLD YOU ELARA
"Long enough to freeze the accounts. Long enough to have a lawyer ready." Her composure was cracking now, the strategic calm I relied on giving way to something sharper. "She's not behind us, Alexander. That's what you don't, she's not scrambling to catch up. She's ahead. She's been ahead the whole time. Everything we thought we were doing to her, she was watching us do it and getting ready."I stood by the door and said nothing, because she was right, and hearing it out loud in her voice made it worse."What do we do?" she said."We need to be careful," I said. "If she has as much as I think she has, then we can't afford one wrong move. We move slow, we contain it, we figure out exactly what she knows before we,""No." Elara stood up. "No. That's exactly wrong. Don't you see? Slow is what she wants. Slow is how she's beaten us this whole time, by having more patience than us, by waiting in the dark. Every day we're careful is another day she uses to make her case airtight." Her eyes
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 47: ALEXANDER TELLS ELARA AGAIN
Alexander's POVShe felt her way out of my office with her hand on the wall, blind and careful, perfect, and I sat at my desk and watched her go and thought, coldly, precisely: liar.The glass was still on the desk where I'd gathered it, a little pile of crystal shards catching the light. I looked at it and I saw the thing again, the way I'd see it for a long time, the way she'd flinched. Not toward the sound. Away from the glass. Away from the exact direction of the spray, her body angling from something she could not have known was coming unless she saw it come. And her eyes. Her eyes had dropped and followed the pieces across the floor, tracked them, one clean second, and then torn themselves back up to that careful nothing she'd been wearing for four months.I'd been watching her face. I'd set the whole thing up so I would be watching her face. And I saw it.She can see.There was no doubt left. That was the strange, terrible relief of it, sitting alone in my office with the broke
