After 36 Years, My Husband Wanted a Divorce—Then One Notification Changed Everything
After 36 years of marriage, I thought our love was unbreakable. We had built a life together, raised children, and created countless memories. But one night, Troy sat me down and shattered everything.
“I want a divorce. I met someone else.”
My world crumbled. Heartbroken, I let him go. We agreed to keep the divorce quiet from our children, and I tried to process the loss.
Until one unexpected notification changed everything.
A Warning I Couldn’t Ignore
Weeks later, as I lay in bed, a message popped up on my phone—Troy’s smartwatch alert.
WARNING: Severe heart rate drop detected. Seek medical attention immediately.
Panic surged through me. Was he having a heart attack?
I called. No answer. I had to act fast.
I rushed to his apartment, only to find him collapsed on the pavement.
The Mistress’s Shocking Response
Before I could call 911, Alicia—his mistress—stormed outside.
“What are you doing here?” she snapped.
“Troy’s in danger! His watch sent an alert—he needs help!”
She scoffed. “He’s fine. He doesn’t need you.”
I stared in disbelief. She wasn’t going to call for help.
So I did. I called 911.
The Truth Comes Out
At the hospital, Troy barely survived. His doctor warned that if I had been minutes later, he wouldn’t have made it.
When we walked into his hospital room, his expression changed.
“I owe you an apology… You saved my life.”
Then, the truth surfaced.
“The workout plan Alicia gave me… was killing me.”
Instead of strengthening his heart, it had been weakening him. And the night he collapsed? It nearly cost him his life.
“She wanted my money,” he admitted. “And I was blind to it.”
Regret filled his eyes as he reached for my hand.
“I don’t deserve it, but… can you ever forgive me?”
I smirked. “Only if you remove Alicia from your will.”
His face lit up. “Done. I promise.”
And so, the smartwatch I gave him for our anniversary didn’t just save his life—
It saved our marriage.
