Mike’s wife trusted him—until he lied. After inheriting $15,000, she gave him $8,000 when he claimed he needed it to cover a fake car accident. She later discovered he used the money to book a Miami trip with their neighbor, Sarah.
At a dinner with Sarah and her husband, she calmly exposed the truth, then left and filed for divorce. Mike lost his job and spiraled; Sarah returned to a strained marriage. Meanwhile, his ex-wife rebuilt her life, realizing that walking away was her greatest strength.
