Five years ago, Ava stood at the altar, ready to start her life with Daniel. Tonight, that life was shattered by a cruel spreadsheet that labeled the cost of her love.
On their anniversary, Daniel handed Ava a document, claiming she’d cost him $300,000 over the years. His words hit like a blow: “You need to pay me back before I start resenting you.”
Ava, heartbroken, couldn’t believe it. She’d sacrificed her career to raise their son, Ben, and support their family, yet Daniel reduced her worth to numbers.
Fueled by rage, Ava spent the next days calculating her own contributions—cooking, cleaning, and the career she gave up. Her total? $500,000.
When she handed Daniel her bill, he was speechless, pale with panic. “This can’t be right,” he muttered. Ava, however, stood firm.
“Our marriage isn’t just about money, Daniel. I’ve already talked to a lawyer. We’re done.”
This experience taught Ava one thing: her worth was far more than a spreadsheet could calculate.
