My Wife Cashed in My Mother's Death
Lily Peterson's childhood sweetheart, Sean Clements, ran over my 70-year-old mother in his car while he was drunk-driving.
Because of that, Mom died on the spot.
But Lily insisted on signing the letter of forgiveness for Sean.
"My mother-in-law had planned on scamming Sean for more money, so she lay beneath the wheels on purpose. She should be the one taking on the entire responsibility."
Not only did Sean get released as an innocent man, but he also received the ten-million-dollar payment given by the insurance company as compensation for his emotional distress.
"Honey, I grew up with Sean since we were kids. I can't just sit by and watch his life get ruined by imprisonment! Can't you be more gracious and stop bringing this issue up?"
After leaving the police station, Sean uploads a post on his social media feed in a high-profile manner.
"Lily looks so gorgeous when she defends me in front of others! Childhood sweethearts will always be the closest people in life!"
Lily leaves a like on Sean's post right in front of me.
I remain eerily calm. "Let's get a divorce, Lily."
She huffs coldly in return. "You just want me to console you, right? Tristin Foley, you're already 30 years old. Can you stop being childish?"
I've already brought up divorce multiple times in the past. That's why Lily refuses to believe that I will leave her for real.
But what she doesn't know is that I've snuck in a divorce agreement into the documents meant for the case closure registration, and she has personally left her signature there.
