I held my breath.
“The workout plan she gave me was killing me.”
A stunned silence filled the room. My children exchanged horrified glances.
“The doctor said my heart couldn’t handle the strain,” Troy continued, his voice laced with anger.
“At first, I thought I was just out of shape, that I needed to push through. But instead of getting stronger, I was getting weaker. And last night…” He swallowed hard.
“My heart couldn’t take it anymore.”
I suddenly remembered how Alicia had slapped my phone away and screamed at me to leave. The pieces clicked together like a sinister puzzle.
She wanted this to happen.
Troy let out a bitter laugh. “I guess all she wanted was my money.” He ran a hand over his face, exhausted.
“After I rewrote my will to include her, she handed me that insane workout plan. I thought she was helping me get healthier.” He let out a hollow chuckle. “But instead, she nearly killed me.”
I folded my arms.
“And now you see her for who she really is.”
Troy’s gaze met mine, filled with regret.
“I was a fool,” he admitted. Then, taking a deep breath, he reached for my hand. “I’m so sorry, darling.
I don’t deserve it, but… how can I make amends? Will you agree to be my wife again?”
I tilted my head, pretending to think. “Only if you remove Alicia from your will and stop training with her.”
His face lit up.
“Done. I promise!”
And so, the smartwatch I had given him for our anniversary didn’t just save his life.
It saved our marriage.
