Anna breathed a deep sigh. Her husband had been particularly grumpy lately, but she decided to ignore it rather than start a quarrel.<\/p>\n
Anna had never been one for conflict; she always favored harmony and frequently gave in to maintain order.<\/p>\n
Keeping her emotions to herself, she left for the store.<\/p>\n
However, she abruptly realized she had left her wallet at the register. She raked her fingers through her hair and attempted to call her husband in frustration. No response.<\/p>\n
She quickly headed home after apologizing to the cashier and asking them to hold her basket.<\/p>\n
She was about to enter the apartment when she froze as she got closer to the door. She could hear Boris, her husband, on the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d he said, \u201cI\u2019ve worked everything out.\u201d \u201cThe apartment is nearly being moved. All I have to do is send the money.<\/p>\n
Anna\u2019s heart fell. Which apartment? How much money? What was he doing?<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, there is a certain amount of risk,\u201d Boris went on, \u201cbut what can she do? She has no suspicions at all. She always gives in and is quiet.<\/p>\n
She felt those words stab her like a knife. Was this his opinion of her after all these years of devotion?<\/p>\n
While Anna listened to Boris plot about a future without her, she stood still, heartbroken.
\nShe jerked out of her reverie as the call came to an end and automatically retreated from the door, hiding around the corner.<\/p>\n
Boris emerged a few moments later. As he went down the hall, he failed to notice her. After he was gone, Anna slipped away in silence. She required time. and responses.<\/p>\n
When she called her friend Irina, she knew right away that something was amiss. Anna filled her in on everything.<\/p>\n
On the way home, Anna, still shaken, opened her banking app. The balance in the joint account had decreased. He was actually stealing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d she muttered, \u201che has a game if he wants one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boris was impatient as ever at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere have you been?\u201d He lost his temper. \u201cAll day long, I\u2019ve been starving!\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna remained silent. She remained composed. Before acting, she needed to learn more.<\/p>\n
She started her own covert investigation after calling in sick the following day. She examined Boris\u2019s computer and went through his papers.<\/p>\n
Her worst fears were validated when she discovered messages between him and a lawyer talking about a divorce and how to divide their assets.<\/p>\n
She snapped pictures of everything. Then she contacted her own attorney.
\nShe transferred some of their joint savings and opened a different bank account. She asked her parents for help as well.<\/p>\n
Anna wasn\u2019t finished, though. She needed to make one more move.<\/p>\n
As usual, she prepared the dinner table that night. She set a folder in front of Boris as he sat down.<\/p>\n
She smiled coldly and declared, \u201cI\u2019m filing for divorce.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t even try to deny it. Your phone call was heard by me. I noticed the messages. Did you think you could outsmart me? Rethink your thinking.<\/p>\n
Boris sat motionless, utterly dumbfounded. Anna went on:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve come to terms with it. I didn\u2019t anticipate it. Life has a way of making things better, even though you spent so much time setting me up.<\/p>\n
Boris went white. Anna had already tuned out the yelling, the accusations, and the insults that followed.<\/p>\n
After a while, he packed up and departed.<\/p>\n
His attempt to transfer the property was declared unlawful by the court.
\nThey divided their assets equally. Boris made several unsuccessful attempts to resist it.<\/p>\n
As time went on, Anna gradually started to recover. She even attended her first social gathering in months\u2014a friend\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
She made a new acquaintance there. He was sincere, kind, and totally different from Boris.<\/p>\n
She gave it a shot even though she hadn\u2019t anticipated falling in love again. And her life was changed by that decision.<\/p>\n
Anna made a fresh start this time, creating a life full of trust, love, and genuine happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
