My question involves alienation of affection law for the State of North Carolina.

I am not in NC. A married person there calls me very often and usually it's chit chat. He is in marriage counseling per my advice after he told me about his unhappiness and because he was calling me so much. It is hard for me to turn him away because my own feelings have developed for him. In fact, I fell hard for him and asked him repeatedly to either divorce and then pursue me or leave me alone. I finally said, enough is enough, no more contact. A few days after this exchange, his wife saw his phone bill and confronted him.
He called to tell me and I insisted we cut off all communication immediately.

I am terrified. I am barely subsisting financially as it is and they are both powerful and wealthy.
