Post-Marriage: Still Supporting His Brother
My husband had just ducked into the bathroom when his phone started ringing. I glanced at the screen and saw it was his brother calling.
A frown creased my brow, but I answered anyway.
"George, why haven't you sent the $10,000 to Mom and Dad this month?" Ross Serrano said. "Mom just asked me about it."
I hung up without a word, but a rush of fury surged through me. My husband stood at the bathroom door, his hands still dripping wet.
I forced a bitter smile. "You make $8,000 a month, right? $3,000 goes to the mortgage, $2,000 to me, and you pocket $1,000 for yourself. You told me you sent $2,000 to your parents, so how did that magically turn into $10,000?"
His lips quivered, his face draining of color. My heart sank, and my hands trembled uncontrollably.
We'd been married for five years, and I'd never once laid eyes on his bank card.
What other secrets was he keeping from me?
