Chapter VII

Mark refused to divorce me, stubbornly refusing to sign the papers.

I hired a lawyer to file suit.

After that day, I flew back to Chicago.

Instead of wasting my energy on Mark,

I decided to go home and spend time with my parents.

At first, my dad tried to talk me out of it.

After all, Mark had always maintained a pristine image in front of them.

Respectable, high-earning, and Ivy League educated.
