AFTER 20 YEARS TOGETHER, I LEFT MY CHEATING EX

After 20 years together, I left my cheating ex. He married the other woman soon after. I moved on, had a daughter, and ignored his texts. Months later, he di:ed in a car crash—and left me his $700,000 estate. His wife demanded the money, but then I received a shocking letter from him.

When the letter arrived, it looked old and worn, like it had been tucked away for months. The envelope was yellowed, with my name—Mirabel—scrawled across it in his messy handwriting I once adored. My hands shook as I opened it. I hadn’t thought about Ziven in weeks, but the grief, anger, and everything in between came rushing back the moment I saw his name.

In the letter, he apologized. He said he knew he’d broken me when he left for Thalia, the woman he’d been seeing behind my back. He wrote about how he had never stopped loving me, even after he married her. He admitted he couldn’t face the guilt and was too much of a coward to try and fix things.

He ended the letter with a line I kept reading over and over: “If you’re reading this, I’m gone. Please believe me when I say the money is yours. It’s my way of saying sorry for everything I stole from you.”

It should have been simple. He left the estate to me, and I was the legal beneficiary. But Thalia wasn’t about to let that happen quietly. She showed up at my door two days after I got the letter. She had tears in her eyes, but her voice was icy as she told me I didn’t deserve a cent.

She kept saying I was the past, that he chose her, and she was his wife when he died. I almost laughed at the absurdity, but my daughter, Elowen, was standing behind me clutching her stuffed rabbit. I didn’t want to fight in front of her.

I told Thalia we’d let the lawyers handle it, and I shut the door before she could say another word. I had no idea what would happen next, but I felt a strange peace knowing Ziven had thought of me, even in the end.
