I believed I had found true love, even though the man I fell for was married with three children. Ignoring every warning, I even turned away his wife\u2019s desperate pleas to leave their family alone. Convinced that love had won, I was overjoyed when, a year later, I discovered I was expecting our first child.<\/p>\n

Inside, beneath dusty rags, was a folder containing \u201cunpaid debts, forged documents, and proof that he had been living a double life long before we met.\u201d<\/p>\n
