Chepter 6: The Biggest Mistake of His Life
One week later...
Jack stood alone outside Megan's office.
No assistants stopped him.
No security removed him.
She had simply agreed to see him.
He entered.
Megan never stood.
She calmly signed another document before looking up.
"You wanted to talk?"
Jack's eyes filled with tears.
"I didn't know."
She smiled sadly.
"No."
"You never wanted to know."
"I made a mistake."
"You made thousands."
He stepped closer.
"Can we fix this?"
Megan slowly removed her wedding ring.
For a long moment she looked at it.
Then placed it on the desk between them.
"I spent ten years building your future."
"You spent ten years building my replacement."
Jack broke down completely.
She didn't.
Because the woman who had walked into the airport that morning believing she had a marriage...
No longer existed.
She pressed one final folder toward him.
Inside was the completed divorce agreement.
Already signed.
Already filed.
Megan stood, walked to the window overlooking the Dallas skyline, and spoke without turning around.
"You once told me you were saving lives."
She paused.
"Today..."
May you like
"I finally saved my own."
Jack walked out carrying nothing except the weight of the biggest mistake of his life.
