My mother-in-law insisted on joining us for our honeymoon to a tropical island. Out at sea, she deliberately stirred up a swarm of vicious piranhas, claiming they were rare "meteor goldfish" worth a fortune. Then she convinced my husband we could get rich by catching them. I begged them to stop. They refused. When the piranhas became aggressive, she shoved me overboard—to buy time for their escape. I was ripped apart. They survived. And they cashed in my life insurance—1.7 million dollars. Within a month, my husband married someone else. At the wedding, my mother-in-law beamed. "Honestly," she laughed, "we should thank that stupid girl. Without her, we'd never be this rich. And my son wouldn't have found such an obedient wife." But fate wasn't done with me. I opened my eyes—back on the day we arrived on that cursed island. Perfect. This time, I'd be the one who was going to get rich. And they were the ones who'd pay for it.
