Chapter 50

Iris

I became a prisoner in my own home. Isak had given me a strict order to remain indoors, and the greatest pain of all was that my assets were seized.

My only great source of happiness was taken away from me, and there wasn’t any way to contact Brain or Tracy. I just wallow in sadness and boredom every day.

The only way to remain sane was to entertain myself with news before, but today, as I make it down the stairs,

in my loose gown and messy buns.

I didn’t feel like sitting in front of the television today. I made my way to the dining room to get breakfast, only to find Isak seated there with his paper and reading glasses.

After the last scandal in the papers, I have avoided it like a plague. The morning after the dinner party, I had gone through the papers to see most of my pictures.

The press called me a bad wife at some point and wondered why I could be so mean to my husband.

Then they asked questions about whether I had repented and why a good man like Isak was still with me.
