The Day My Husband's New Wife Walked Into My Office

On my second day after transferring to the County Clerk’s Marriage License Bureau, I took over a colleague’s desk.

A young woman had come in to request a replacement marriage certificate.

My colleague leaned over and whispered, "This is the 99th time this girl has come in for a replacement! We have her files backed up, so it'll be quick."

I froze. "99 times?"

My colleague laughed.

"Yeah. The little brat married a rich older guy. Whenever they get into a fight, she loves to tear up their marriage certificate to throw a tantrum."
