My grandmother passed away and left me ten apartments. My husband, Andrew Lane, begged me to sell a few of them so he could pay for Emily Goodwin, his college sweetheart's, cancer treatment. "Julia, I'm begging you, please save Emily. She's so young. She hasn't had a chance to experience how beautiful the world is. I don't want her to die," he pleaded. I refused, and he immediately filed for divorce, taking five of my apartments. "Julia, I love you. I had no choice. Once I sell the apartments and Emily is cured, we'll get back together," he said. I turned and walked away, never looking back. He never saw it coming. The developer went bankrupt, and the CEO was arrested for fraud. Until the day Emily died, the house could not be built.
