The second document was even worse. It was a pre-drafted divorce petition, citing “irreconcilable differences” and “emotional instability and financial misconduct on the part of the wife.” Appended to the back were printed photographs of me—taken covertly through the windows of our own home—holding the cash envelopes, scrubbing the floors, and placing the money under the bed. There were log sheets detailing the dates and times I had “stolen” the cleaning money.
But it was the third document that made my blood run entirely cold.
It was a life insurance policy. A new one, taken out just two months ago in my name. The policy amount was two million dollars. The beneficiary? Bruno Miller. And attached to the policy application was a forged medical assessment stating that I suffered from a severe, undiagnosed chronic heart condition that put me at high risk for sudden cardiac arrest.
He wasn’t just planning to divorce me and take my house.
