I Saved Every Penny While My Husband Kept His Mistress in a Mansion

On Valentine's Day, gold prices surged and housing prices plummeted.

I talked it over with my husband. I wanted to sell all my gold jewelry, and combined with the money we'd scraped together over the past few years, it would be just enough to afford a bigger place.

My husband wouldn't hear of it.

He looked at me with a tenderness laced with guilt. "You've been with me all these years, suffering through every hardship by my side. I already feel terrible that I haven't been able to give you a better life. How could I let you sell your jewelry?"
