After 37 years of marriage, Jake dumped his wife, Edith, for his young secretary. With slick lawyers, he forced Edith out of their multi-million-dollar home, giving her just three days to leave.
Day one: she packed.
Day two: movers cleared her things.
Day three: Edith sat alone at the grand dining table, savoring shrimp, caviar, and Chardonnay by candlelight.
When she was done, she quietly went room to room, stuffing shrimp shells coated in caviar inside every curtain rod. Then she cleaned up the kitchen—and walked away for good.
At first, Jake and his new girlfriend thought they’d won. But days later, a foul stench overtook the house. They scrubbed, aired it out, replaced carpets, even called exterminators. Nothing worked. The smell clung, unbearable. Friends stopped visiting, staff quit, and their glamorous life inside that mansion turned into a rancid nightmare.
