Bled Dry for Family: My Wife Bankrolls Her Brother's Homes

Aiken Collins has spent years working himself to the bone, saving every penny for his daughter Nancy's leukemia treatment. When the bank calls to collect mortgage payments, he discovers that his wife, Denise Sheridan, has used their savings to buy two mansions for her brother, Dmitri Sheridan, with Dmitri named as the deed holder and Aiken left to pay the mortgages.

Confronted, Denise insists Dmitri urgently needs the money for his marriage, while ten-year-old Nancy declares that Dmitri is the family's future and that Aiken is nothing but an outsider who does not even share their last name. Aiken realises he has been treated as nothing more than the household's cash cow, and he tears up the purchase agreement and demands a divorce.

Walking out, he calls Paul Wellington to return to his abandoned research career, ready to rebuild his life from nothing.
