Husband Breaks His Wife’s Arm and Laughs at Her Cry for Help—Until New York’s Most Feared Mafia Boss Walks Through the Door / Chapter 24 / 28

Chapter 24 - DEREK’S LETTEREighteen months after the bathroom, Derek wrote through approved channels.

Not:

I miss you.

Not:

We were good together.

He wrote:

I told myself you were taking control away from me when what you were actually doing was refusing to give me control I never had.

I read that twice.

Then:

When you locked the bathroom door, I thought you were manipulating me by ending the argument. Breaking the door felt justified because I believed marriage meant I was entitled to finish the conversation.

There.

He had finally understood the door.

Then:

I do not expect forgiveness.

Good.
