Katherine’s world shattered when Michael divorced her right after her grandfather’s death. A month later, she saw him step out of a luxury sports car, dressed in designer clothes—nothing like the man she had married. “New job?” she asked, stunned. “This isn’t your business,” he scoffed, tossing a $100 bill at her feet. “A parting gift.” Fuming, she picked up the bill—then froze. A small smiley face was drawn on it.
A memory hit her: her grandfather, weak but determined, revealing stacks of hundred-dollar bills. “This is for your future, Kat.”
She had refused. Now, she realized the truth—Michael hadn’t just moved on. He had stolen from her.
