My Husband Married Me for Money. But He Got What He Deserved After My Father’s Death

Having financial stability can be comforting, but it also opens the door to potential deception, such as a partner who feigns love for monetary gain. Laura, a 39-year-old woman, shares a poignant family story following her father’s death.

Her father, a successful lawyer with a nearly billion-dollar net worth, raised Laura alone after her mother passed away. He instilled in her strong values about money, emphasizing modesty and self-reliance, even as he achieved fame and wealth.

When Laura began dating Max, her father was skeptical, warning her that he might be after their family’s fortune. Despite this, Laura believed in Max’s sincerity, and they married just before her father’s passing.

However, after her father’s death, Max shockingly inquired about her inheritance rather than offering support. Laura revealed that she was adopted and not included in her father’s will, which prompted Max to file for divorce immediately.

During a meeting with a family friend, Laura learned that her father’s will stipulated that Max could inherit half of the estate if they stayed married for five years. Upon hearing this, Max’s true intentions were laid bare, validating her father’s concerns. Laura felt a sense of closure, knowing her father had protected her future from the start.
