Iris’s life with her husband, Paul, wasn’t as perfect as it appeared. After their second child, Paul became more absorbed in work, leaving Iris to manage the household and two young kids, Ollie and Sophie, on her own. One day, Paul announced he’d be attending a wedding alone for three days, leaving Iris disappointed when she learned she wasn’t invited. A heated argument followed, where Paul handed Iris a mere $20, mocking her ability to run the house on such a small amount.

Frustrated and desperate, Iris faced the cold reality of their empty fridge. With no other choice, she decided to take drastic action. Spotting Paul’s prized coin collection, she sold it to an antique shop for $700. Using the money, she bought groceries for the family, but guilt lingered as she thought about betraying Paul’s trust.
