The morning I learned I had inherited fifty million dollars, I reached for my phone to call my husband. The banker stopped me before I could press his name. “Mrs. Mercer,” he said quietly, turning a court record toward me, “according to the state, you haven’t had a husband for nine months.” My signature was on the divorce decree. I had never signed it. I put my phone back in my purse and said, “Then please don’t tell anyone I was here.”
