Chapter 12 - Camila Refuses the Revenge Offer
A media outlet learned pieces of the divorce.
They offered me a large interview.
Millionaire Wife Survives Brain Surgery, Destroys Cheating Husband.
I hated the headline.
It made me sound powerful.
It also made my tumor, marriage, and humiliation into entertainment.
I declined.
My public statement was four sentences.
I confirmed I was recovering.
I confirmed divorce proceedings were private.
I asked that minor children be left alone.
I thanked my medical team.
That was all.
Claudia later asked why I did not expose her publicly.
“I don’t need strangers screaming at you.”
“You hate me.”
“Yes.”
She looked shocked.
I continued.
“I can hate what you did and still not want your children punished.”
Claudia cried.
I did not comfort her.

Compassion did not require intimacy.
That was another lesson illness had taught me.
