And she said, Grace, I don't know what to do. Like, we're having some marital issues. But he doesn't want me to talk to anyone. He would consider that disloyal. And she didn't know where to go, like what to do.

They were very suspicious of me. And I'm like, I am an open book, and I will tell you everything I know. I was not romantically involved with Harold. In December of 2007, my husband, Kevin, and I separated. So that was hard. That was difficult. We went through bankruptcy, foreclosure. I was devastated. I did not want my marriage to end. I had no savings, no nothing at that point.

Harold really began to step it up. He's giving me all this mentoring budget advice, and he says, Tony and I really, we just want to help you.

Always looks like our dad. So in about March of 2010, the divorce was final, and I'm going to move to Texas. And Harold and I got into basically a big fight about it. And Harold was trying to get us to come to Colorado. He gets really mad at me. He came back at me with, after all I've spent investing in you and you're not grateful. I saw him as being very controlling at a whole new level.

I told him to cancel it. That was done. She said, it's paid through till August of this year. I was just shocked. I definitely felt that I could have been the third victim. I'm like, oh my gosh.

I will never forget Sunita saying, this is the man that is supposed to guard and protect his wife. And the last thing that Toni ever had going through her mind was him pushing her off.
