The doctor told me I had just three days to live. My mother-in-law smiled and whispered, \u201cPerfect. Then this house will finally be mine.\u201d My husband laughed. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll finally marry Jennifer.\u201d They assumed I was too weak to resist. But once they left, I called my father and said, \u201cDad, it\u2019s time.\u201d His response chilled me: \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for your call.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The doctor had barely finished speaking when my mother-in-law smiled. \u201cThree days? Wonderful. Then this house will finally be mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

My husband laughed beside her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in three days, I can marry Jennifer.\u201d<\/p>\n

I watched them through the hospital room\u2019s glass wall, my fingers cold against the blanket.<\/p>\n

Dr. Harris had just delivered what sounded like a death sentence.<\/p>\n

Three days.<\/p>\n

That was how long my already severe heart condition might take to cause catastrophic failure.<\/p>\n

My husband, Daniel, had held my hand until the doctor finished. Then he let go.<\/p>\n

Now I knew why.<\/p>\n

His mother, Margaret, approached my bed, filling the room with expensive perfume.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should sign the property transfer tomorrow,\u201d she said. \u201cThere is no point making things difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

I swallowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou already planned this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel shrugged. \u201cWhat did you expect? You have no children. Your house is valuable. Someone has to inherit it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Jennifer deserves a proper home after the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer.<\/p>\n

Daniel\u2019s secretary.<\/p>\n

His mistress.<\/p>\n

And apparently, his future wife.<\/p>\n

I faced Daniel.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not even going to pretend you loved me?\u201d<\/p>\n

He chuckled.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove doesn\u2019t pay mortgages.\u201d<\/p>\n

They left together.<\/p>\n

The door clicked shut.<\/p>\n

I listened until their footsteps faded.<\/p>\n

Then I picked up my phone.<\/p>\n

My hand was steady now.<\/p>\n

I dialed one number.<\/p>\n

\u201cDad?\u201d<\/p>\n

Silence.<\/p>\n

Then came his familiar voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m listening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDad,\u201d I whispered, \u201cit\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He slowly exhaled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for this call.\u201d<\/p>\n

I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n

For three years, I had concealed the truth from Daniel.<\/p>\n

He thought I was an ordinary housewife who had inherited an old house from her mother.<\/p>\n

He assumed I had no business ties, influence, or wealth beyond that property.<\/p>\n

Above all, he believed my father was dead.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

And tomorrow, Daniel would learn who he had really married.<\/p>\n

\u201cBring the folder,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

My father replied calmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

That night, I stopped being Daniel\u2019s dying wife.<\/p>\n

I became the woman who had prepared for his betrayal for three years.<\/p>\n

And he had given me three days.<\/p>\n

More than enough.<\/p>\n
