Millions for Her, Not Our Son

Finley Anderson, a billionaire, pours tens of millions into the art graduation exhibition of Lily Dixon, the college student he has sponsored for two years, yet refuses to pay twenty thousand dollars for the medical treatment of his own son, Asher. When the boy dies of severe diarrhea and dehydration, his mother, Ms. Lane, is left alone in the hospital to sign the death certificate and call the funeral home, while Finley never answers her calls.

On television, Finley stands smiling behind Lily at the exhibition, letting the crowd tease them about marriage and refusing to defend his wife. At home he brings expired anti-diarrheal medicine Lily sent and scolds Ms. Lane for missing the exhibition, even as he speaks of bringing Lily's coming baby home for her to raise.

Ms. Lane wants only a divorce, but the past two years of sponsorship, luxury gifts and Finley's growing distance press down on her, and the question of how their marriage reached this point still hangs unanswered.
