When Elon came home with flowers and chocolates, he acted as though nothing had happened. He kissed me, smiled at Sophie, and blamed his late night on a difficult day at work. The next morning, he suggested I stay home instead of returning to my job, saying childcare was too expensive and we could manage comfortably on his salary. After what I had heard, his suggestion no longer felt like concern. It felt like control. I confirmed my return to work and quietly sought legal advice.
