At 74 I married a woman 38 years younger than me. Everyone thought I had lost my mind… But one night, my humble domestic worker heard a conversation and said, “Mr.simo Richard, if you don’t listen to me right now, tomorrow may be too late.”

I looked at the young woman in front of me.

Vanessa humiliated her every day.

He mocked his weight, his clothes and his poverty.

And now Rachel was risking the job she needed so much just to protect me.

The next morning I called my lawyer, Thomas.

In a few days we discovered that the situation was even worse.

Kevin was not Vanessa’s cousin.

I had been her lover long before she met me.

During the previous year, Vanessa had transferred more than a hundred thousand dollars from my accounts to different bank accounts.

I had also prepared documents intended to give you full control over my finances and medical decisions.

I immediately called my children.

Claire came first.

When I opened the door, he hugged me.

“Dad, I just wanted you to be safe.

At that moment I understood something painful.

For months I had taken people who really loved me away from me while defending a woman who saw me as nothing but a possession.
