When her husband suggested selling her beloved apartment to buy a house under his mother’s name, she reluctantly agreed —
but only to play along. What her husband and mother-in-law didn’t know was that she had a plan of her own.The apartment had been my dream, a bright, modern space I worked for years to afford. When I married Jack, he moved in with me, and at first, everything seemed perfect.
But his mother, Linda, never truly accepted me. Over time, her comments and meddling became more frequent, and Jack always dismissed it. One night at dinner, Jack revealed Linda’s “brilliant idea”: sell my apartment and his parents’ house to buy one big home for everyone — under Linda’s name.
Shocked, I asked who would actually own the house. Jack casually said, “Mom, of course.” Though furious, I smiled and agreed, pretending to support their plan.Later, I overheard Jack and Linda laughing, unaware I was nearby. Jack said he’d eventually leave me once everything was finalized.
