The Poor Man's Wife Swaps Souls with the Rich Man's Wife

Gwen frowned, feeling that the old man’s words were utterly absurd."Only five dollars. This offer is a one-time deal. Take it or leave it. If you don't believe me, you can always resell this golden comb to a jewelry store. You'll make a more than decent profit, wouldn't you say?"Gwen’s interest was piqued. "Is this really genuine gold?"The old merchant nodded firmly."Can I take it to a jewelry store to check?" Gwen stood up and crouched in front of the old man's display.The old man shook his head. "If you want to test it at a jewelry store, you have to buy it first. The price is only five dollars."Gwen hesitated, looking torn."My offer is strictly for you, just this once, and there won't be a second chance. Do you want it or not?"Curiosity gnawed at Gwen. The sheen of the comb before her truly looked like solid gold. An overwhelming wave of intrigue washed over her.

All the exhaustion from his grueling day at work vanished in an instant."You go ahead and enjoy the boxed meal, honey. I’l

Just as Gwen was about to step inside her old home, she stopped dead in her tracks. Through the window, she caught sight of Hans laughing uproariously with Sienna at the dining table. 'Hans is laughing like that? He looks so genuinely happy.' Gwen thought, a heavy lump forming in her throat. 'In all the time he’s been with me, he has never laughed so freely.'She watched as the two moved into the living room, settling onto the threadbare couch. Sienna gently began massaging Hans’s aching shoulders."Sweetheart, if you keep treating me like this, I’m going to work twice as hard to bring home a fortune for you," Hans murmured tenderly. "Thank you for being such a patient, loving wife."Sienna offered a soft smile. "I don't mind enduring a tough life with you, Hans. Just promise me one thing—never cheat on me.""How could I ever cheat on you? You have no idea how deeply I love you, Sienna!" Hans turned around and pressed a soft, affectionate kiss on the crown of her head.A sudden, shar
