My son-in-law insisted my car needed to be checked “for safety” before my weekend trip. When I went to pick it up, I dropped my purse—and as I bent down, I spotted a small device hidden underneath.

I walked into my wife’s law firm opening party and immediately felt the whole room turn toward me. People laughed, pointed, and I heard it clearly: “The ‘test-run husband’ is here.” Then my wife slid an envelope across the table and said, “Our firm’s first case is our divorce. Take it—and go.” So I left… and quietly pulled back everything I’d been covering—every party, every trip, every “extra.” Most of all, my $20 million backing quietly disappeared from her firm. Minutes later, my phone lit up with 456 missed calls… and then there was a knock at my door—firm and urgent.

After an argument, my wife—who’s used to having everything go her way—canceled my ticket and left me stranded at Dubai Airport: no phone, no wallet. Then a woman who practically radiated wealth walked up, leaned in, and whispered, “Just pretend you’re my husband. My driver will be here any minute.” Before I could even react, she added, “Your wife is going to wish she hadn’t done that.”
