A young girl married an old man to save her family, but on their wedding night, the old man did something terrible 

A young girl, who had just turned nineteen, stood in a white dress and smiled at the guests. It all looked like a fairy tale: a luxurious banquet hall, thousands of flowers, champagne flowing freely, important guests in expensive suits.

But behind this beautiful picture, the truth was hidden – her parents had married their daughter off to a rich millionaire, a man well over 70.

The family had no choice: the father had lost a large sum of money, the mother was desperately trying to save the house and at least some stability.

The rich old man offered a solution – marriage. The girl understood that this was not love, but she did not resist. She knew that her sacrifice would save the family, and she resigned herself to it.

The wedding was magnificent. The guests raised their glasses, wished the newlyweds happiness and many years of life together. The old man looked pleased, he held the young bride’s hand and did not take his eyes off her. Everyone around was whispering, someone was envious of her “luck”, someone was judging her, but no one knew that in her soul the girl was preparing for a difficult and unpleasant first wedding night.

Late in the evening, when the guests had left, the young wife entered the bedroom. A heavy silence filled the room. Her husband was already lying on the wide bed, in a white shirt, with his head slightly raised on the pillow.

He looked tired, but his eyes were closed. The girl slowly approached, sat down next to him, squeezing her fingers in anxiety. She was waiting for the moment she feared most of all. But at that moment something terrible happened

The seconds dragged on painfully long. She touched his hand – and a chill ran down her skin. Her heart sank.

“Darling?” she called quietly.

No answer.

She shook his shoulder in panic, but his body was lifeless and motionless. The old man’s heart no longer beat. An instant heart attack took him right on their wedding night.

The servants immediately ran into the room, called the doctors, but it was all in vain. The nineteen-year-old girl became a widow on the same day she became a wife.

The morning brought a sensation: the sudden death of a millionaire shocked not only the family, but the entire city. But the most amazing thing was yet to come.

According to the will, his entire enormous fortune was to go to his wife.

In an instant, the nineteen-year-old girl turned from a poor daughter of ruined parents into the richest heiress – houses, cars, bank accounts, jewelry, businesses.

Her whole life changed in one night. Just yesterday, she was preparing to live with this man for many years, putting up with it for the sake of her family. But fate decreed otherwise: now doors were opening for her that she could not even dream of.
