Swindled By Hubby Who Faked His Death
In my previous life, my husband had suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage, leaving behind a massive mountain of debt.
For the sake of my son, who was still in high school, I sold the house my parents had left me, gritted my teeth, and worked three jobs to pay off the debt.
Overworked and exhausted, my health deteriorated, and I eventually collapsed in the hospital. From my bed, I could hear my son, now a graduate from a prestigious university, smiling as he spoke on the phone.
"Hello? Dad, it's me. Yeah, she's about to die. I bought insurance for her, so we should get close to one million. You and Aunt Rena should come back home right away."
The "Aunt Rena" he spoke of was none other than my husband's childhood friend and neighbor who had known him for years.
It turned out that the debts were all part of a massive money-laundering scheme between my husband and his childhood sweetheart. They had fabricated false accounts to hide their crime, and he had faked his death to escape the law.
My son, eager to become the heir to wealth, had stood by and watched me work myself to death.
When I next opened my eyes, I was back in the moment of my husband's feigned brain hemorrhage, the day it had all begun.
