From betrayal to bread, I thought I’d married a devoted father whose world revolved around his daughter, Lily, so when he claimed she’d been in a bike accident needing expensive therapy, I emptied my savings and inheritance—$85,000 total—believing it was for her healing.
But doubts grew as Lily seemed almost normal, and he refused to let me attend therapy sessions; my suspicion turned to shock when I caught him counting stacks of cash—the truth: Lily was a child actress, not his daughter, and my money was funding a new home for him and his mistress.
I gathered proof, confronted him with divorce papers over dinner, and while he lost everything, I gained restitution and the house he bought—now Mia’s Custom Bakery—where every loaf I bake rises from betrayal into freedom and fresh beginnings.
