Chapter 15 - Receiving an unexpected letter from a federal prison as Chloe begs her former husband for a second chance today.
On a rainy afternoon, Ethan sat at his desk in the corporate headquarters, opening an envelope postmarked from the state penitentiary.
The letter was written in Chloe's messy handwriting, filled with desperate pleas for forgiveness, money, and legal assistance.
"Ethan, please... I was sick, I was manipulated by my brother! You are the only person who can save me!" she wrote.
Ethan read the letter carefully, feeling zero anger or resentment, but rather a calm, complete sense of detachment and clarity.
He picked up his pen, writing a single brief sentence across the bottom of her letter before folding it back up.
"The person you knew died the night you insulted my mother; do not write to this address again," Ethan wrote firmly.
He slid the letter into an envelope, addressed it to her prison caseworker, and dropped it into the outgoing mail tray.
