Mrs. Bennett requested official copies of the property records and discovered that Robert had been discussing a substantial loan secured against our house. The paperwork suggested he intended to use the money to purchase an apartment with Caroline. He had presented our shared property as though he could make every decision alone. Fortunately, the transaction had not been completed, and my attorney immediately began taking steps to protect my interests.
I confronted Robert that evening. At first, he denied everything. Then I mentioned Caroline’s name and the apartment. His face changed completely. He finally admitted the affair, claiming it had been going on for almost two years. But when I asked whether he had planned to leave me with the debt, he couldn’t look me in the eyes.
