"Oh my god," Chloe whispered, stepping away from the bed. "He used me. He just needed someone to sit by his bed and play nursemaid while he was dying. I had no idea he was stealing from you to do it."
Sarah looked down at the man in the bed. Just twenty minutes ago, she had brought him a homemade apple pie to celebrate their anniversary. Now, she realized she was married to a narcissistic, manipulative sociopath who had orchestrated the ultimate, cruel betrayal from his deathbed.
