Uncategorized I married a man 30 years older for his fortune — after his funeral, his lawyer gave me a box and said, "He made sure you got exactly what you deserved." Everyone thought I married Russell for his money. They weren't entirely wrong. I was thirty-two, drowning in bills, and one missed paycheck away from losing my apartment. Russell was sixty-two, wealthy, widowed, and lonely in a way rich people try to hide with marble floors and expensive watches. We met at a charity dinner where I was serving champagne. He asked my name. Then he asked if my feet hurt. No man had asked me that in years. Three months later, he proposed. My friends called me insane. His children called me worse. "You think you're getting the house?" his daughter hissed at me after the wedding. "You'll get nothing." Russell heard her. He only smiled and said, "She'll get exactly what she deserves." I told myself I didn't care what they thought. But the truth was, I liked the comfort. The warm house. The quiet mornings. The way I no longer checked my bank account before buying groceries. Russell was kind to me. Kinder than I expected. And somewhere along the way, shamefully, inconveniently, I stopped pretending I didn't care about him. Then he got sick. Fast. Six weeks from diagnosis to funeral. At the service, his children stood across from me like I had killed him myself. I cried anyway. Afterward, Russell's lawyer asked me to come to his office. His children were already there. On the desk sat a small wooden box. No envelope. No will in sight. Just the box. The lawyer looked at me, then at them. "Russell left instructions," he said. His daughter laughed under her breath. Then the lawyer pushed the box toward me. "He made sure you got exactly what you deserved."
