He Tested Me With Prenup I Left Him With Regret Chapter 21
That photo quickly made its way into the comments on the museum’s public account.
People asked how much money I had taken.
People asked if the cashier’s check for over two hundred forty thousand dollars was hush money.
Colton didn’t mention the word VOID written across the front.
He didn’t mention that the original $24,318.72 had been money I had returned to Grant so we would owe each other nothing.
He only posted the amount.
Just like the prenup four years ago.
They always kept only the page that was most useful for convicting me.
The museum director slid a tablet toward me.
“The board isn’t requiring you to respond to this,” she said after a pause. “But Colton claims there are more financial records to come.”
“There are.”
I opened the folder I had kept for years.
The confirmation email canceling the marriage license.
My University of Chicago acceptance and payment records.
The one-year lease I had signed in advance.
The four-year expense ledger and a copy of the cashier’s check for $24,318.72.
And finally, the cashier’s check for $243,187.20—the one I had written VOID across and returned untouched.
Every document was dated from that year.
Not a single piece of the timeline was missing.
“I don’t need the board to believe my explanation,” I said. “I just need them to see the original documents.”
