The Smiley $100 Bill
Katherine’s world shattered when her husband, Michael, filed for divorce shortly after her grandfather passed. She assumed he’d simply fallen out of love—until weeks later, she saw him driving a luxury sports car and dressed in designer clothes.
When he arrogantly tossed her a $100 bill, a small smiley face on it caught her eye—the same mark she had drawn during her last heartfelt conversation with her grandfather. That tiny symbol revealed a devastating truth: the fortune her grandfather had set aside for her dreams had been given to Michael instead.
Determined to reclaim what was rightfully hers, Katherine visited her grandfather’s old business partner, Harrison, who confirmed her suspicions. With his help, she enlisted a skilled lawyer named Logan. Together, they confronted Michael in his lavish apartment.
Michael denied everything at first, but Logan presented the evidence and spelled out the legal consequences—lawsuits and the risk of losing everything. Cornered, Michael broke down and agreed to return the funds and sell his luxury possessions.
Months later, Katherine used the reclaimed money to open a veterinary clinic in her grandfather’s honor, finally fulfilling the dream he had envisioned for her. Harrison attended the opening, beaming at her success.
Over time, Logan became more than her lawyer—he became her partner. Two years later, they married, surrounded by friends and family.
Katherine kept that smiley $100 bill in her wallet, not as a reminder of betrayal, but as a symbol of resilience and love—a small sign that changed everything, helping her reclaim her future, honor her grandfather, and find happiness again.
