His Divorce Cost Him $250 Million

"Where are you going?" Terrence asked.

Brielle wouldn't really look at him. "My sister's. For a while. I need to think."

"Think about what?"

Now she looked at him. "Terrence, you told me she was crazy. You told me she was cold. You said the marriage was dead for years and she was the one who wouldn't let go."

"It was dead."

"She signed those papers in two minutes," Brielle said. "She didn't even look at you. That's not a woman who couldn't let go."

She rolled the suitcase past him.

At the door she stopped. "If you lied to her for eleven months, what have you been telling me?"

The door shut.

Three months later, Terrence was renting a small apartment, driving a used Honda, and applying for jobs. Every interview asked the same thing: "So why did you leave Carter Freight?"

He never had a good answer.

Danielle became the youngest Black woman to run a logistics company in the state. In her first speech as CEO, she announced a scholarship for single moms working in trucking.

A reporter asked her about the divorce.

"I don't talk about my ex-husband," she said, with a little smile. "I only talk about things that are still part of my life."

Some people say Danielle planned the whole thing. Others say she just let a cheating man walk into his own trap.

Her father tells it his way.

"My daughter didn't take a thing from him," Harold told a friend at the country club. "He walked into that hotel with everything. He walked out with exactly what he chose."

So who was wrong here? Terrence for cheating, Danielle for her perfect timing, or Brielle for dating a married man?
