The Mango Clause​

Summary

At seven, the woman my father brought home gave me a box of mangoes. My mother watched me eat them, her face full of sorrow, then signed the divorce papers and jumped from our window. Mangoes became my nightmare.

On my wedding day, I told my husband, Ethan Carter, "If you want a divorce, give me a mango." From then on, mangoes were his taboo too.

On our fifth Christmas Eve, his childhood sweetheart, Phoebe Summers, put a mango on his desk. That day, Ethan cut ties with her and fired her. I thought he was my destiny.
