The Alchemist's Phoenix

The Husband I Built I mortgaged my father's house to fund Edmund's trading firm. I bled in a hospital bed courting his first client. I brushed his grey overcoat every morning for six years and called myself lucky. London calls him the perfect husband. They should — I made him one. So when I found what he'd hidden in that coat pocket, I didn't weep. I smiled. The wife who built him can unbuild him just as neatly.
