Chapter 9 - The story they planned to tell

The recording continued.

Ryan:

“You sign today and this ends.”

Me:

“No.”

Sabrina:

“You are destroying seventy jobs because you want to punish your husband.”

Me:

“I didn’t create his debt.”

Then Ryan said something I missed in the chaos that day.

“You’re emotional. You’ve been emotional for months.”

I remember laughing.

“I’m pregnant.”

He answered:

“Exactly.”

Silence on the recording.

Then:

“You scream. You threaten to leave. You break things.”

I said:

“No, Ryan. You keep saying I do.”

He replied:

“Everyone sees it.”

Everyone.

May you like

That word scared me.

Because I finally understood he had been building a narrative.
