When Gold Soared, My Wife Gave Mine To Her Lover

Synopsis

The gold price had surged to 4,000 dollars per ounce, and my heart raced as I gripped my phone. 160 ounces—a full 160 ounces of gold bars. That was everything I had, my entire life savings, my boldest gamble on the future. I dialed my wife's number, my voice trembling with excitement. "Honey, we're rich! 160 ounces of gold—it's worth 640,000 dollars now! We can retire early!" But on the other end of the line, there was nothing but silence. After what seemed like forever, Anabella's voice finally broke through. She sounded frantic, panicked in a way I had never heard before. "What gold? Arthur... what nonsense are you talking about?" In that moment, my blood ran cold.
