At my grandfather’s funeral, my cousins received his yacht, his penthouse, and his $27 million company. I was handed a small, crumpled envelope. Laughter erupted as I opened it. Inside was just a single plane ticket to Rome. Confused, I went. When I arrived, a driver held up a sign with my name. He said six words that made my jaw drop

After 17 years of marriage he suddenly said he was done and wanted a divorce. I signed quietly and walked away. Months later he threw a big party to announce his engagement to his secretary at the same beach we once loved. I arrived with a calm smile and an envelope.
