On our golden wedding anniversary, my husband personally poured me a glass of wine. As I drank it, he smiled with tears in his eyes. "Charlotte, you really are heartless. For real," he said. I looked at him, completely lost. Back when we were young, I helped him through school; in our middle years, I supported his business; and now, in our old age, I was raising our grandchildren for our kids. How was I heartless? When I stayed silent, he broke down, his shoulders shaking, his face streaked with tears. "You knew my heart was always with Grace, but now she's gone, and you hid her death from me, trying to pretend everything was fine and keep me in the dark for the rest of my life! "Charlotte, back then, it was Grace who wanted to help me, but you stepped in ahead of her and took all the credit. You used that debt to bind me to you. Now she's gone, and none of us deserve to live!" My stomach churned violently, and I vomited up several mouthfuls of black blood. Only then did I realize the wine was poisoned. With my life slipping away, I left this world utterly confused. From beginning to end, I was the only one who ever supported him. Who exactly was Grace, the one I supposedly took the credit from?
