No Divorce Just Inherit His Fortune

Summary

When my mother discovered that my father was sleeping with her best friend, Violet, her immediate reaction was to file for divorce.

My mother had a moral allergy to betrayal.

"A man who’s tainted himself," she told me, her voice trembling but hard, "is a man I won't tolerate for another second."

In my past life, I supported her.

I hired the most aggressive, expensive divorce lawyer I could find. I backed her decision to walk away without a single dime of alimony or equity, just so she could sever ties with that piece of trash as quickly as possible.
