After I saved my husband’s life, he tried to take it all — yet my daughter caught the courtroom off guard: “I want to show you something that Mom doesn’t know about.”
The corner of the tablet struck something hard.
A few people gasped.
The screen went dark while the audio continued.
“Oh no,” Nick said too quickly. “It slipped.”
There was a pause. Then his voice dropped lower.
“Chloe, listen to me. Don’t say anything to Mommy about the call Daddy just had. It’s adult stuff. You wouldn’t understand.”
Silence.
“If you keep it between us, I’ll buy you a brand-new tablet. The newest one. Deal?”
My chest tightened.
“It slipped.”
On the recording, Chloe answered hesitantly. “Okay.”
The video ended.
