My Husband’s Lies Killed My Mother

Summary

To pay off my boyfriend’s debts, my mother and I worked ourselves to the bone. But because of it, she developed lung cancer. When I rushed to the hospital with the money for her treatment, I found she had hanged herself, leaving behind only a letter:

“Lila, my dear, your mother can’t go on. Take this money to pay off the debts. Julian is a good boy, he loves you, he just lost his way. After the debts are settled, live a good life together.”

Clutching my mother’s ashes, I handed the thirty thousand dollars of her hard-earned money to Julian Winthorpe.
