Built & Burned by Eliza Hawkins
Some betrayals don’t leave bruises; they empty bank accounts.
Becca Hughes built her marriage the same way she built everything — carefully, strategically, one dollar at a time. She trusted her husband, Sam, with her financial fears, her future, and every dream they had planned together.
She didn’t expect him to drain their savings without a word.
Now she’s living separately, rebuilding her independence, and trying to decide whether the man who shows up quietly in every way that matters is the husband she married — or just a man who finally understands what he stands to lose.
Sam knows he broke something real. He also knows Becca well enough to understand that grand gestures won’t fix this. Only time, truth, and showing up when it counts.
