Ducky Boom
When I find out my husband is cheating on me, I don't cry. My pride won't let me waste a single tear on a man who isn't worth it.
Instead, I crash a stranger's funeral so I can cry my eyes out over someone else's memorial photo.
I'm sobbing so hard I'm shaking when the widow suddenly shoves a million-dollar check into my hand.
"Take the money and get lost. Don't think you can worm your way into my family just because he's dead."
I stare down at the check.
Suddenly, being the other woman doesn't seem so bad. At least she gets paid.
Meanwhile, I'm the wife who gets cheated on and humiliated, and somehow I'm still the one expected to step aside for the other woman.
I'm about to leave when an arm suddenly blocks my way.
The dead man's son is a tall, handsome college student. He leans down, looks me straight in the eye, and sneers, "You fraud. You're crying your eyes out over my dad, but you can't even get his name right."
Caught, I take a step back.
He plucks the check from my hand and leans close to my ear. "You want the million dollars? Fine. Then play along with me and help me piss off my mom. She's the one who actually cheated on my dad."
