The Inheritance That Uncovered My Secret Divorce

Synopsis

My aunt, Helen Fisher, passed away and left me a massive inheritance of three billion dollars. Sitting at the Legal Affairs Office, I was so thrilled that I nearly dropped my pen. While the clerk was verifying my identity, she stopped and gave me a hesitant look. "Do you know that your legal status is single?" she asked. My head spun. "That's impossible. I've been married for eight years." She pulled up the official record to show me. It was all there in black and white. I had signed a divorce agreement seventy days ago. It all clicked. Michael told me he was sorting out our tax papers and handed me a huge stack to sign. I didn't bother to look at them back then. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened them again, I couldn't stop myself from smiling. "Are you okay?" the clerk asked cautiously. "I'm fine," I said, laughing until tears streamed down my face. "I was just thinking that life has a pretty twisted sense of humor."
