My Husband Demanded A Divorce For "Financial Reasons." I Agreed, Because He Forgot One Important Thing

When my husband slammed the divorce papers on the table and demanded I sign, I didn’t argue. I calmly picked up a pen, signed my name, and slid them back to him with a smile. He thought he’d won, finally free to live his new life without me. What he didn’t realize was that I’d left out one crucial detail—something that would turn the tables entirely. By the time he found out, it was already too late.

He came home late again, reeking of cheap perfume. I sat on the couch, watching as he tossed his jacket onto the chair without a word. "Another late night?" I asked, barely looking up from the book I was pretending to read. He shrugged, not meeting my eyes. I imagined he had spent the evening with someone who didn’t mind the scent he brought home.
