Abstract

I unexpectedly inherited a fortune from my aunt. Ten billion dollars.

At the probate lawyer's office, I was so excited I nearly dropped my pen.

While verifying my identity, the paralegal suddenly stopped, looking at me with a pained, awkward expression. "Ma'am... are you aware that your current marital status is listed as single?"

My brain completely short-circuited. "That's impossible. I've been married for eight years."

She pulled up the official records and turned the monitor toward me. Black and white.

Seventy days ago. Divorced. An uncontested, mutual divorce decree.
