I was originally in Henry's position, but I got pregnant unexpectedly and believed his sweet words. I chose to be a housewife. Looking back, I must have been blinded by love.
Now, it was my turn to fight back. The first step was to take Ruby to court, demanding she return the money Henry had spent on her. All of it was spent during our marriage, making it part of our marital assets.
Marley was efficient. The court accepted the case quickly.
After Ruby received the court summons, she called me. "Sofia, don't go too far. Henry was willing to spend that money on me."
I shot back, "That money is marital property. Do you even know what that means? You didn't just spend Henry's money; you spent mine too. Am I wrong to want my money back?"
Ruby angrily hung up. Soon after, Celeste called me. I hung up immediately. She called again. I hung up again. She called at least a dozen times, and I didn't answer any of them.
Later, an unknown number popped up. I answered, only to hear Celeste's voice, so I hung up again. Then came a barrage of text messages. I blocked her number right away.
