When my marriage to Adam ended, I never imagined he would sink so low. Bailey, my golden retriever, wasn’t just a pet – she was family. But in his final act of spite, Adam dropped her off at a shelter while I was packing my things. What he didn’t know was that this heartless decision would cost him everything.
The moment I realized Bailey was gone, my world shattered. Adam had pretended to care about her during our marriage, but his true colors showed during the divorce. While I scrambled to find her – calling shelters, posting flyers, even hiring a private investigator – Adam thought he’d won.
But fate had other plans. Not only did my investigator track down Bailey (thankfully adopted by a kind couple who returned her when they heard our story), but they also uncovered Adam’s dirty secret. He’d been hiding assets, including a luxury home purchased under his mother’s name.
The judge didn’t take kindly to his deception – or his cruelty toward Bailey. The settlement left me financially secure enough to buy a home with a huge backyard where Bailey now happily spends her days. Adam’s attempt to hurt me ultimately gave us both the fresh start we deserved.
