I Installed a Secret Camera After My MIL Insisted on Having Our Key

…my husband and his mom whispering in our kitchen at 2 a.m. She was holding a stack of our financial documents, saying, “She’ll never know if we sell it.

” My husband nodded, adding, “We’ll split the profits.” I felt sick—my own home, my sanctuary, was being plotted against. The next day, I confronted him with the footage.

He stammered, but his mom smirked, “You’re too dramatic.” I changed the locks, hired a lawyer, and filed for divorce. I also sued his mom for attempted fraud. The house stayed mine, and I cut them both off. Months later, I turned the key into a necklace—a reminder of my strength.
