But that night, with my father beside me and the divorce papers on the table, his words no longer had the same power.
Julian, I will not authorize any payment. Talk to the club administration and personally pay for what you ordered.
-
Are you crazy?
-
No. I am divorced.
I closed.
For a few seconds, only the bike-taclet of the clock on the wall was heard in the kitchen.
Then my dad smiled for the first time that day.
- Good. Now we can get started.
I looked at him puzzled.
- Shall we start what?
His smile is gone.

I felt my stomach tightens.
Dad, what are you talking about?
Arthur Hayes got up, went into his office and came back with a thick dossier tied with an elastic band.
He sat him on the table, between us.
There was only one name written on the cover.
