After She Betrayed Me, Divorce is the Best Option

Julia Brown, my mother-in-law, suddenly had a heart attack. I had set aside 100,000 dollars for emergencies just for her. But my wife, Sophie Brown, ended up lending that lifesaving cash to her ex-boyfriend, Connor Gibson, to gamble on soccer.

I pressed Sophie to get the money back from Connor, but she scolded me for being short-sighted. "Why the rush? Do you really think Connor is going to stiff you?

Just wait till he wins tonight. He'll pay back everything, with interest. Don't act like you've never seen money before!"

Then I heard Connor yelling through the phone, "Sophie, look, it's a goal!"

Before I could respond, Sophie quickly hung up.

In the end, because we missed the critical window for treatment, Julia passed away in tears.

"Just start the surgery on her, please. I'll get the money to you ASAP," I pleaded.

My mother-in-law, Julia, suddenly had a heart attack. I had set aside 100,000 dollars for emergencies just for her. But my wife, Sophie, ended up lending that lifesaving cash to her ex-boyfriend, Connor, to gamble on soccer.

I was so desperate that I even knelt in front of the doctors.

The doctors exchanged a look and nodded at me, saying, "We'll do what we can."

I called Sophie over and over. Finally, she picked up after ten long minutes.

"Bradley, can you just stop? I told you to wait a bit. Don't you get it? Connor's team is about to win," Sophie snapped.

"But what about the money for Mom's surgery..." I began, but Sophie hung up before I could finish.

Staring at the operating room doors, I felt my stomach twist with worry.

The hospital agreed to start the surgery, but made it clear we couldn't delay paying for further treatment.

After we married, I gave my payroll card to Sophie. Now, I didn't have a penny to my name.

Julia didn't have any other children, just Sophie.

I was an orphan, and after marrying Sophie, Julia treated me like her own son.

I was deeply grateful to Julia and never picked fights with Sophie. But now, with Julia's life on the line, I had to do something.

Luckily, I knew where Connor lived because I had often driven Sophie to his house for parties.

Without a second thought, I grabbed a cab and headed to Connor's place.

I got to the front door just as cheers erupted from inside.

I went to knock. Somehow, they were so wrapped up in their fun that they hadn't locked the door, and it swung open as I pushed.

Inside, I found Sophie in Connor's lap, kissing him passionately.

I lost it and stormed over, yanking them apart.

"Where's the 100,000 dollars I saved for Mom? Give it to me now!" I demanded.

Sophie, who had been cozying up to Connor, turned cold as she saw me.

She snapped, "Bradley, I've told you. Wait till Connor wins, and I'll get the money. Man, stop being jealous.

Enough with your calls, and now you show up here? Really?"

Her eyes flashed with disdain and disgust.

The looked at me like I was a jerk who ruined their happy time.

But right then, I couldn't care less about their feelings. Julia was dying.

Anxiously, I said, "Look, Sophie, I don't care what you're up to with Connor. Mom's had another heart attack and is in the emergency room waiting for the money. Just give me the 100,000 dollars I set aside for her, and I'll leave.

Even if you two were in bed together, I wouldn't care right now."

Before I could finish, Sophie slapped me across the face.

She jabbed a finger at me and shouted, "Bradley, you might be jealous, but that's no reason to curse my mom. How can you be so mean? I spoke to Mom on the phone before I came here. Make up a better lie next time!

Keep this up, and I'll divorce you!"
