On the night of the tornado warning, my husband punished me for my ‘disobedience.’ He deliberately reassigned the van that was supposed to pick up my disabled mother. She died in the wreckage of her home. The next day, he stood before a national television audience, weeping as he prayed for the victims. The moment the cameras cut, he threw separation papers at me. I signed them on the spot. I didn’t ask for the mansion. I didn’t ask for a single cent of his family’s money. He was stunned. He’d always believed I couldn’t live without the prestige of being a pastor’s wife. What he didn’t know was that I had already found the one thing his family was most desperate to keep buried. Once that was out, how many days did his precious ‘charity’ have left? … The separation agreement lay open on Caleb’s desk. He leaned back in his chair, his tone suggesting he was mediating some minor dispute that had nothing to do with him. “I didn’t want to have this conversation today, but you called Tessa more than a dozen times last night. She just survived a tornado. She’s fragile. You need to stop harassing her.” I stared at him. I had made those calls to ask why the wheelchair-accessible van meant for my mother had ended up parked outside Tessa’s house. Caleb called it harassment. I didn’t explain. I picked up the pen and signed the last page of the agreement. Leah Mercer. Not Leah Wren. Something flickered in Caleb’s expression. “That’s it?” I capped the pen and pushed the papers back across the desk. “It won’t happen again.” I would never call Tessa again. I would never demand an answer from him again. And I would never beg him for an explanation again. My decisiveness clearly unsettled him. He sat up straighter, adjusting his cuff. “That’s for the best. Leah, you should have learned by now to control your emotions and think about what’s best for Wren Family Restoration Church.” That line again. The last time I’d heard it was when Tessa sent me a selfie. In the photo, she was perched on this very desk, her bare legs crossed, draped in the black pastor’s robe Caleb wore to preach. The collar hung open, exposing the hollow of her throat. The caption read: *Sometimes, keeping a secret for a lost soul is its own kind of love.* I’d taken the photo to Caleb. He barely glanced at it. “Why are you so fixated on Tessa?” “She’s wearing your robe and sitting in your study.” “She was curious. That’s all.” “And the caption?” Caleb’s face hardened. He snatched the phone from my hand. “Your suspicion and jealousy bring shame to God. Leah, maybe you should examine why there’s no trust in your marriage.” He tossed the phone back onto the sofa, not a trace of guilt in his eyes. “The way you’re acting only makes me want to seek spiritual peace elsewhere.” As if he weren’t the one who had betrayed our marriage. As if I were the one who had driven him into Tessa’s arms. The television on the study wall looped one of the church’s promot......
