NOT YOURS TO LOSE, EX-HUSBAND

My ex-husband, Reese Beaumont, sent me divorce papers on our anniversary, five years after I walked down the aisle to join him. I signed them with a red lipstick and sent them back to him, with a short note which read: "I am not going to give you the liberty of thinking you still own me."

Now, one year later, he is standing in my office, the smug look in his eyes gone, and for some reason, still wearing our wedding ring.

"You're still mine, Roxanne. You didn't sign the divorce papers, and you seem to forget that you're nothing without me."
