He Gave Our Home to His First Love,So I Watched Him Die With Millions in My Pocket

My ex-husband had a heart attack. We were divorced but still living under the same roof, so I tore through every drawer looking for his insurance card. What fell out instead was a property gift contract.

He had secretly transferred the house we'd spent half our lives paying for—signed it over to his first love while we were still married.

I took the contract to my children. My daughter, Imogen Swanson, rolled her eyes.

"Mom, Aunt Myra has no kids, no one. Don't you feel sorry for her at all? You had Dad your whole life. You're really going to fight over a house?"
