Meeting My Ex In A Detention Facility

Synopsis

I met Kenneth Beaumont again after the divorce, inside a detention center. He was now a suspect in a financial crime case, and I was the only lawyer he named. "If you want me to take your case, the legal fee goes up ten times," I said, sliding the contract over. Kenneth signed his name without reading a single clause. "I'm glad you came to help me." I retorted at once, "I might be here for revenge." He froze, then laughed softly. "Tara, you wouldn't." His eyes held the same certainty and confidence as before. My expression stiffened. I quickly pulled the signed contract back. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just here to make money." When I turned to leave, he stood up in a hurry. "Tara." He paused before speaking again. "I owed you an apology." However, I no longer needed it.
