My Wealthy Daughter-in-law

"Mom, I want to divorce Esther." My son dropped this bombshell on my birthday in front of a bunch of important people.

I put down my fork without even looking up. "You and Esther grew up together, and you had an arranged marriage. You've always been a famous loving couple. Why suddenly divorce?"

Hank Browning pulled a timid girl from the crowd and said, "Mom, I've fallen in love with Aida. I must marry her."

Another shocker.

I was stunned, struggling to process. I looked at the girl's face. She looked exactly like an old enemy I hadn't seen in a decade.
