48600 Reasons to Leave Him

Synopsis

"Forty-eight thousand six hundred dollars is missing, Mallory." My coworker Lacey Monroe dropped the payment printout beside my coffee. I had spent seventeen years helping build that event company alongside my husband, Russell. Then, in one afternoon, I learned that $48,600 had been sent under my name. Every person in the conference room watched as I took the blame. Before anyone else could speak, Russell stepped forward. "My wife is not a thief," he said. For one brief moment, I believed my husband was standing firmly beside me. But when I got home, I found one detail I had missed. The money had been sent from the computer in Russell's private office. And no one else used that computer.
