But the moment a doctor discovered a tiny recording device hidden beneath the medical tape on my skin, the story they had spent years constructing began to collapse.

Before leaving, he texted that he hated old things and deserved a new life. I let him believe I was broken while my attorney worked in silence. Then I watched him return home, only to see his face turn white when he discovered the house on my father’s land was gone.
