Scorned as a Housewife, Feared as His Boss

Her husband is a ship captain, at sea ten months a year. Claire thought she was his family. Then a tipsy friend mentions the diamond set he had made for his wife at a foreign port. Claire never got it. The delivery note reads: "Not to be disclosed to family." His mother tells her to let it go. His mistress wears the diamonds to dinner. He says she's nothing without him. None of them know who really owns his ship.
