Surprise! You're Not the Don's Wife

When I went to get a replacement copy of our marriage certificate, the clerk at the registrar's office told me, "This certificate is a forgery. There's no record of your marriage in the system."

"But Michele and I got married four years ago, at St. Mary's Church. We had witnesses..."

I steadied my breathing. "Please check again."

The clerk sighed and clicked her mouse a few times.

"We found a registration for Michele Corleone, but the spouse listed isn't you."

My voice shook. "Who's his legal wife?"

The clerk answered without looking up. "Rita Greco."
