I discovered my husband was planning a divorce, so I moved my $400 million fortune a week later…
I wasn’t snooping, I swear. One morning, I just wanted to check a shipping confirmation on my husband’s laptop. He’d left it open on the kitchen table. I opened the browser, and before I could type, a thread of emails popped up. The subject line read: “Divorce Strategy.” I froze. I thought maybe it wasn’t what it looked like, but then I saw my name, and a phrase stood out like fire on the screen.
You’ll never see it coming. At first, I couldn’t move. I just stared at the screen, my heart pounding and my hands shaking. I checked the emails. There were messages between Thomas and a divorce lawyer. They’d been talking for weeks. He was planning everything behind my back. He wanted to file first, hide assets, and twist things to make me look like the bad guy. He planned to say I was unstable, that I wasn’t contributing to the marriage, that I deserved more than half. He even mentioned that he tried to remove me from our accounts before I could react. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. This was the man I trusted, the man I built a life with. We had dinner together the night before. He kissed me goodnight every morning.
I never saw it coming, but I wasn’t going to fall apart. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I quickly took screenshots of all the emails. I backed up the files and sent them to a private email address I only used for emergencies. Then I closed everything as if I’d never seen it. Thomas thought I had no idea. He thought I was weak, someone who would crumble and do whatever he said.
