She Forced Me Out Penniless—Then Discovered I'm a BillionaireChapter 1
My brother-in-law racked up $50 million in online gambling debts and left my contact information with the creditors.
By the time the interest compounded to $100 million, a pack of thugs showed up at my front door demanding payment.
After I talked them into leaving, my wife and mother-in-law finally crept out of the bedroom, trembling.
Adeline Harding's face was chalk white. "Let's get a divorce. I'd rather leave this marriage with nothing than stay. Your debts are your problem. Don't even think about dragging me down with you."
No matter how many times I explained that her brother owed the money, she refused to believe me.
Peggy Chavez, my mother-in-law, slapped me across the face. "You're trying to frame my son just so you can trick my daughter into paying off your debts! Divorce. Now!"
"And since we're being honest," she added, "Adeline's pregnant. It's your good buddy's baby. So get that through your head and sign the papers."
Wait. I had a hundred million. I'd been about to ask if they needed help covering the debt. How did this turn into a divorce ambush?
