My mother-in-law, Matilda Holmes, is celebrating her 60th birthday today. My husband, Joshua Allen, insists I give a toast to his female intern, Lila Deleon. He says Lila's fresh out of college and has no one looking out for her. As his wife, I need to be the bigger person. My eyes fall on the watch circling her wrist. That 38-thousand-dollar watch was an inheritance Mom left me. I don't cry or throw a scene. Instead, I swap out all 12 high-end courses at the birthday party for takeout. Every single box comes with an IOU taped right on top. "Course one, my parents paid 80 thousand dollars for the down payment on our house." "Course two, I raised your startup capital of 50 thousand dollars by selling my wedding gifts." "Course three, that watch you gave her was my mom's inheritance." Furious, Matilda slams her hand on the table. "Shannon Lott, have you lost your damn mind?" I set the final bowl of soup right in front of her. "Calm down, Matilda. This one's called the Bloodline Ender. Finish it, and I'll call the police and report Joshua for transferring marital assets."

It was Thanksgiving the day Joshua came to trouble me.I was in the kitchen making ravioli. Eric stood beside me, looking as serious as if he were auditing a financial statement.I glanced at the ravioli he pinched together. "Is that ravioli or a rock?"He said, "It'll cook.""Is it edible?""Depends on your standards."Just then, the doorbell rang. I thought it was Abbie.But when I opened the door, I saw Joshua standing outside. He wore a faded down jacket, clutching a bag in his hand. Snow had settled on his shoulders.He had grown so thin he was completely unrecognizable.Eric walked up behind me without a word.Joshua's eyes dimmed when he caught sight of him. "I'm not here to make a scene."He handed the bag toward me. "Here's 10 thousand dollars. I know it's not enough, but this is all I have right now."When I didn't take it, he looked down with a bitter smile. "Back when we got married, I said I'd give you a proper wedding once I made it. Then I made it, and I forg

The lawsuit dragged on for eight months. Joshua lost 20 pounds, and Matilda aged remarkably, too.When I ran into them in court, I almost didn't recognize them.Lila was handled in a separate case. Her ex ran off with the cash, leaving her to shoulder the debts all by herself.She tried reaching out to Joshua several times to get back together, only to be chased off by Matilda with a broom every single time.Abbie was the one who kept me updated on all this, but I didn't care much to listen.Finally, the final verdict came through. The house was awarded to me, and Joshua was ordered to compensate for my losses of marital property. As for the forged signature, he faced separate legal accountability.The company suffered a devastating blow after the investigation and was ultimately sold off at a bargain price.It was only on the day the buyer's representative arrived to sign the paperwork that I learned Eric had set up the deal for me.The buyer was his uncle.I asked him, "Di

The year Dad was hospitalized, the doctor had said the surgery needed to be done as soon as possible.I had scraped together every penny I could, selling jewelry and borrowing from friends.Joshua had held me, repeatedly apologizing. He said the company's account was frozen and that as soon as the funds cleared, he'd hand them over to me immediately.In the end, Dad didn't survive that surgery.I always believed it was just fate. But now, Lila was telling me that Joshua took that exact money to buy a hefty retirement insurance policy for Matilda instead.Matilda slammed the table in a panic. "You're talking absolute nonsense!"Lila sneered. "Mrs. Allen Senior, I've seen the policy myself. You even boasted about it to me, saying how devoted your son was to you and that no wife could ever compare to a mother."At those words, Matilda's face turned ash-gray.When Joshua rushed over to drag Lila away, Eric stepped in front of me. "Mr. Allen, keep your distance."Abbie had already

Eric wasn't the sweet-talking type. After helping me haul in the coffee beans, he sat down on the couch, flipped open his laptop, and got straight to auditing the accounts.When I poured him a glass of water, he said, "No need."I cut up some fruit for him, but he simply told me not to bother.In the end, I just sat down.Eric said, "Your ex-husband is dumber than I thought."I almost choked on my water. "Do you always speak like that?"He adjusted his glasses. "I'm holding back."As I stared at the endless list of bank transactions on the screen, a headache began to creep in.Eric, however, looked at them as if he were reading a menu."Right here." He tapped the screen. "Your ex-husband used the company account to pay for Lila's condo renovations, categorizing it as office equipment procurement."I frowned. "Can we recover that?""Yes. And here. He bought her a car with the invoice issued under the company name.""That can be recovered too?" I asked."Yes." He glanced at
