The secret account of her husband, Carlos.

The numbers blurred before her eyes, and a wave of nausea rolled through her. She leaned forward, resting her head on her knees. This was not the life she had envisioned, she thought. The carefully constructed façade of their marriage seemed to crumble before her eyes.
