Victor's POV"Please, Victor!" Lily fell to her knees and grabbed at my legs. Tears streamed down her face; her eyes were red and puffy, and voice hoarse from trying to plead with me nonstop about her innocence. "Let me explain! This isn't what it looks like!"I kept my arms crossed and watched as Esmerelda had thrown out one trash bag at a time on our lawn—all filled to the brim with Lily's belongings. From the clothes, shoes, and jewelry that *I* bought her.There wasn't a single thing that didn't come from money she earned on her own, so technically it all belonged to me. Yet, I wasn't a complete monster. I wasn't going to kick her out with nothing but the clothes on her back.Even though I thought it was more than what she deserved."Explain to me, soon-to-be-ex-wife," I let the venom drip off each word, "what does it look like to you? Because it looks like, at least to *me*, that you and your mother were attempting to steal my things and run off with MY money that was in MY safe!"
