Lessons from a Millionaire’s Ex

My classmate had always been the center of attention. She married a millionaire, and her life seemed like a fairy tale. She traveled the world, visiting exotic destinations and attending glamorous events. Everywhere she went, she was adorned in sparkling jewelry, living a life many people dreamed of. From Venice’s romantic canals to the lights of Paris, she seemed to have it all, yet she never appeared to truly appreciate her surroundings.

Despite the luxury, my classmate never seemed satisfied. She would boast about the places she visited, but her stories always sounded empty. When I saw her in Venice, she didn’t seem enchanted by the city’s charm. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower failed to spark excitement in her. It was clear that something was missing in her life, but at the time, I couldn’t quite understand what it was.

Five years later, I ran into her again at a modest resort. I hardly recognized her. The once confident and radiant woman had changed drastically. She looked small and fragile, almost like an intimidated mouse. Her posture was slumped, and her eyes held a sadness I had never seen before. I couldn’t believe this was the same person who had once lived a life of extravagance and confidence.

As we talked, I learned the truth behind her story. Yes, there had been a millionaire, but there had never been a wedding. The man she had been with had promised her the world, but when the love faded, he simply walked away. She was left heartbroken and alone, with nothing to show for the years she had spent chasing luxury and excitement. Her life had crumbled, and she was left with the harsh reality of her choices.

Looking back, she confessed that she regretted her attitude during those years of travel. She wished she had taken the time to enjoy her adventures, rather than focusing so much on the material aspects of life. The jewelry, the fancy hotels, and the designer clothes no longer held any value for her. She now realized that the true joy of traveling and experiencing the world had slipped through her fingers while she had been preoccupied with the wrong things.

The woman I had once admired for her beauty and wealth was now a shadow of her former self. She was filled with regret, not just for the relationship that had ended, but for the way she had lived her life. She had missed the chance to truly appreciate the moments and experiences that came her way, and now she felt the weight of that lost opportunity.

MY DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW DIED 2 YEARS AGO — THEN, ONE DAY, MY GRANDKIDS SHOUTED, “GRANDMA, LOOK, THAT’S OUR MOM AND DAD!” Recently, my two grandkids and I went to the beach to have fun, as usual. “GRANDMA, LOOK, THAT’S OUR MOM AND DAD!” my grandsons shouted, pointing toward a young couple sitting at a café nearby. My daughter and son-in-law had died two years ago. When I looked at the couple, I nearly fainted, for I immediately recognized my daughter. The man looked different but still bore a striking resemblance to Anthony. I took my grandchildren by the hand and handed them over to my friend Ella, who was sunbathing nearby. I asked her to watch them for an hour, and she agreed. “Don’t go anywhere; you can sunbathe here,” I told my grandchildren. Then, I immediately went back to our previous spot and started to spy on the couple. Soon, they stood up and left. I followed them to see where they lived, as it didn’t feel appropriate to approach them just yet. Meanwhile, my daughter and son-in-law walked to a small cottage covered in grapevines and disappeared behind the fence. Without a second thought, I called the police. Then, I rang the doorbell. ⬇️Continue below
