Elizabeth’s life was turned upside down when her husband, Simon, passed away suddenly. The grief was overwhelming, but what she discovered at his funeral would change everything she thought she knew about their marriage.
Elizabeth and Simon had been happily married for many years, raising two beautiful children together. However, it seemed that their marriage was not as perfect as it appeared. At the funeral, Elizabeth noticed that their maid, Rose, was wearing the same ring Simon had been wearing before his death.
Confronting Rose, Elizabeth was shocked to learn that Rose and Simon had been having an affair. Rose revealed that Simon had planned to leave Elizabeth and marry her instead. The news left Elizabeth reeling, feeling betrayed by both her husband and their maid, whom she had considered a friend.
The revelation raised more questions than answers. Elizabeth wondered how she had missed the signs and how her husband could have kept such a huge secret from her. The pain of his infidelity was compounded by the fact that he had left most of his assets to Rose in his will, leaving Elizabeth and their children with very little.
In the end, Elizabeth was grateful that she had maintained her independence and continued to work, providing for herself and her children. The experience taught her valuable lessons about the importance of honesty and self-reliance in any relationship.
