THE PROXY WIFE

His late wife's sister turned his children into a private cash machine, filing $3.2 million in false charity claims under their names. I found his son trapped in a shock collar and his daughter hiding bread in her pocket every night. Forty-seven letters from their dying mother had been kept secret for four years, never sent. Not a single adult in that house stepped in. I did—and tore through every rule to do it. Then I learned the ice-cold billionaire I married had chosen me on purpose, long before he ever met me.
