I won $50 million in the lottery. I carried our little son and rushed straight to my husband’s office to tell him the news. But the moment I reached the door, I heard a woman laugh—and then my husband’s voice dropped, unusually low and private, coming from inside. I froze. Just ten minutes later, I made a decision.
