But then, out of nowhere, last month, he started acting like the sweetest man alive. He was affectionate, sending me little texts, bringing me coffee, trying to hold my hand like we were newlyweds. I thought maybe he had a change of heart.
Yesterday, my lawyer called me about the divorce papers. She casually mentioned the inheritance my grandfather had left me. I didn’t know what to say. I hadn’t even seen the documents yet, but somehow, it was already listed in the filings. That meant my husband knew weeks before I did.
Now I’m done playing along. I’m letting the divorce move forward, and I’m making sure my inheritance stays protected. I feel disgusted that he thought he could trick me into falling for his act.
