My husband thought having my mother around was an eyesore. He threatened to divorce me if she didn't go. However, my mother was a strong-willed woman. That night, she booked a ticket to leave, not even letting me see her off at the door. Five days later, my husband was shoveling food into his mouth when he said, "My sister got transferred for work. She'll be staying with us for a few months. Get ready." I put down my fork. "Are you sure?" "Of course. She is my family. What's wrong with her staying at her brother's place?" he said. I didn't say a word. I picked up my phone and called right in front of him. "Hey, Mr. Duncan, I've got all the divorce papers ready. Can we get it filed tomorrow?" I asked. He snatched my phone. "Are you crazy? My sister's only staying for a few days, and you want a divorce?" I looked at him. "Did you forget what you said five days ago?" He froze. I pulled a voice recorder from my bag and hit play. The words he had spoken himself rang out, echoing in the living room.
