My husband, James Carter, had finished his military service. I took his official documents to claim the 100 thousand dollar benefit. But the clerk told me, "According to our records, you and Mr. Carter were divorced a month ago." I was stunned. How could I not know I was divorced? Just then, a call came in from an unknown number. A syrupy voice chirped, "Lily, I've already grabbed James's benefits. You don't need to worry about him anymore. Oh, and could you keep taking care of his dad for a few more days? Once we're settled, we'll come pick him up." I trembled all over with rage. So James had played me for a fool, using me as a free live in caretaker, huh? I turned around, went home, bundled up James' paralyzed father and dumped him at the doorstep of that woman's villa.
