When He Spent My Savings on Her

For three years, Alice saved for a house she and her boyfriend William planned to buy together. Then half the money vanished overnight. William had lent it to his childhood friend Mary, who posted a photo of her limited edition bag and thanked her "darling" for the birthday gift. Alice transferred the remaining $250,000 to herself and moved out that night.

William called it a tantrum, certain she would crawl back. But Alice had already accepted a two-year assignment to the Singapore branch, blocked him everywhere, and boarded a plane. When William showed up at her parents' house to play the devoted boyfriend, she told him they were finished and threatened court over the joint account.

Now strangers are flooding her social media with messages. Alice has finally let go, but William and Mary are not done with her yet.
