Chapter 9

The next few weeks were amazing and challenging all at the same time. I worked my ass off preparing for my trip to London, and Ben, Kat, and I became like the three amigos. We did almost everything together.

After Ben heard Kat and I were doing a self-defense class together, he wanted to join us, and it was a blast. We went out to dinner almost every night, and the nights we didn’t go to a fancy restaurant or a club, we spent at Ben’s place learning to cook a new recipe from an online cooking class he’d joined.

Kat was right, Ben was the perfect buffer for us, and it felt good to have two amazing friends to share my time with. I’d been so focused on building my business when I was younger, that I guess I forgot to have a social life with friends who truly cared about me. It was a pleasant surprise to find two wonderful people I could learn new things from and have new experiences with.

Normally after dinner with Ben, Kat and I would sneak away either her place or a hotel twenty miles away, so no one we knew would see us together, and it was like a steamy romance novel. My relationship with Kat was quickly turning into something much deeper than just a fling, and to be honest, it scared the crap out of me. I knew she had her secrets, and she kept them very quiet, always changing the subject whenever I asked about her past. There was always an heir of caution around her whenever we were out too. I chalked it up to her not wanting to get caught with me and blow up my marriage. But there was something else, something I just couldn’t put my finger on.

I barely spent any time at home anymore, and every fight with Dave escalated a little more, so I started sleeping in one of the guest bedrooms and locking the door at night. The lawyers told me to try and be as civil as possible with him but sleeping in separate bedrooms was the only way I felt even remotely safe in that house.

Thankfully, I handled all of the household finances, so it wasn’t hard to open my own bank accounts and start moving money around. I made sure Dave got his salary into our old joint account, and I now started getting mine into a new individual account I opened for myself. I did everything I could without needing Dave to sign anything. The rest would have to wait until after I served him with the divorce papers. The plan for that was right before I left for London. That would give Dave and me at least a month apart so he could deal with the initial shock of the separation without me being anywhere near him.

One night in particular, I was so frightened that Dave might have found out about Kat and me, though. I came home just after eleven, and Dave was sitting in my office with Kat’s underwear in his lap.
