My Husband Framed Me. I Took It All. novel · Chapter 23 of 24
Chapter 23: Everything
Carter was sentenced on the ninth of December, in the same courtroom, on the same polished bench.
I sat in the second row and nobody held my hand, because I didn't need it.
He stood at the defense table in a grey suit that had been mine to pick out, and it hung on him.
He had pleaded to the forged papers, the stolen money, and helping to hide a killing.
He had told it all to a room of strangers for two days.
He had named the account in the Cayman Islands where the last of the one point nine million sat.
Nobody had asked him to look at Chloe.
Chloe sat in a county cell and had refused to come.
"Mr. Wendt," said the judge. "Do you have anything to say?"
Carter turned his head and found me in the gallery.
"Annika, I..."
"Face the bench," the judge said.
He faced it.
"I'm sorry," he said to the wood. "I don't expect anyone to believe me."
