For three years of marriage, my mother-in-law, Karen Brown, looked down on me for coming from a poor village. Karen's daughter, Lisa Brown, even tried to kick me out so she could take over our marital home. Then Karen issued her final ultimatum. "Either divorce and get out, or sign over your family's land to my daughter." Without a second thought, I signed the papers and walked away, along with my newly won 1.5-billion-dollar lottery ticket. The next day, Karen saw me accepting the prize on TV and fainted on the spot. When she came to, she blew up my phone. "Emma, sweetheart, please. I didn't mean it. That money belongs to this family!" I replied with a cold smile, "Back off, Karen."
