Viktor lowered his eyes in shame.

“He said he didn’t care, as long as your life became miserable…”

“Well, I care,” the wife replied firmly. “So here’s what we’ll do: I’ll help you get off the streets. We’ll arrange a room for you at a shelter, buy you clothes… and you transfer your share back to me. Fair and square.”

A week later, they were already at the notary’s office. Viktor signed the deed of gift, received real money from her, and a place in a rehabilitation center.

Meanwhile, the wife took care of other things as well: she packed her husband’s belongings into garbage bags and donated them to the same shelter, and transferred the car to her name.

She personally called her husband’s workplace: calmly explaining that he had been acting strangely, forgetting important things, selling property for pennies, abandoning his family and disappearing. The management quickly drew conclusions: the “unreliable” employee was first suspended and then fired.

The husband learned all of this only two weeks later, when he ran out of money at the seaside and his bank card suddenly stopped working. His mistress, tired of the problems, had already flown home earlier — she didn’t want any trouble.

Furious and humiliated, he returned home, convinced he would “set everything straight.” But when he approached the building, he didn’t even recognize it: the door to the apartment now had a brand-new lock.
