Chapter 18 - JASON’S COUNTERATTACK WORKSJason’s lawyers found my journal.
Legally.
I had produced relevant pages in discovery after fighting about scope.
One entry from six months before the burn:
Sometimes I imagine smashing everything he loves just so he has to feel powerless once.
Jason’s attorney read it aloud.
I wanted to disappear.
Another:
I hate Madison and I don’t even know if she’s sleeping with him yet.
Another:
If Briarstone vanished tomorrow, maybe I’d finally get my husband back.
Ugly thoughts.
Human thoughts.
Jason claimed motive to fabricate financial wrongdoing and abuse.
His theory was not absurd.
That frightened me.
