My husband earned $25,000 a month and handed every dollar to his mother. When I finally questioned him, he looked me straight in the eye and said: \u201cI can have a hundred wives, but I only get one mother.\u201d That night, I served four bowls of ramen. He had no idea who actually owned the penthouse we were sitting in.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Julian slammed his palm onto our custom walnut dining table, sending yellow ramen broth splashing over the rims of the porcelain bowls.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give my entire paycheck to my mother!\u201d he shouted. \u201cI\u2019m a businessman. Mom is the elder. She knows how to manage household expenses and invest securely for our future! Are we really going to sit here and nickel-and-dime each other over groceries?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His mother, Eleanor, sat nearby surrounded by luxury shopping bags from Fifth Avenue.<\/p>\n

She lifted her chin.<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly. The wealth my son generates is safe in my hands. If you, as a wife, cannot boost his career, the least you can do is stop trying to turn him against his own flesh and blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at my husband.<\/p>\n

I was heavily pregnant, wearing an oversized gray sweatshirt, while the man who had once promised to treat me like a queen happily placed the entire cost of our Manhattan lifestyle on my savings.<\/p>\n

\u201cShut your mouth!\u201d Julian snapped.<\/p>\n

His expression had become colder than I had ever seen it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will say this exactly once. There are plenty of women in this world. If it\u2019s not this wife, I\u2019ll easily get another. I can have a hundred wives, but I only get one mother. If you cannot live with how things are done under my roof, pack your bags and get out.\u201d<\/p>\n

I can have a hundred wives, but I only get one mother.<\/p>\n

That sentence destroyed the last illusion I had about my marriage.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t cry.<\/p>\n

I slowly stood and looked directly at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d I said quietly. \u201cYou only have one mother. But listen carefully, Julian. Your precious mother hasn\u2019t been investing a single dime for our future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eleanor\u2019s smile vanished.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has been wiring most of your twenty-five thousand dollars every month to your brother in Ohio so he can build himself a mansion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julian\u2019s face twitched.<\/p>\n

Eleanor gasped.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this penthouse?\u201d I continued. \u201cEvery inch of it was purchased with money belonging to the wife you just treated like a burden. Starting tomorrow morning, anyone who wants to live or eat here pays for it themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julian blinked rapidly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of garbage are you talking about? I pay the mortgage on this place!\u201d<\/p>\n

Eleanor\u2019s handbag slipped from her hand and hit the floor.<\/p>\n

For the first time, both of them looked nervous.<\/p>\n

But they still had no idea who I really was behind the stay-at-home-wife image they had created for me.<\/p>\n

And they definitely didn\u2019t know whose name was attached to the five-million-dollar penthouse.<\/p>\n
