Chapter 7 - Served in the Living Room
Back in the living room, Daniel stared down at the divorce petition sitting on the coffee table beside his champagne glass, his cheek still burning red from Emma’s slap.
"Claire, you're being ridiculous!" Daniel stammered, trying to regain his composure as guests whispered in disgust. "You can't kick me out of my own home over a flower! I built this life for us!"
The heavy double entrance doors opened, and Marcus Vance stepped into the foyer accompanied by two city marshals in dark suits.
"Correction, Daniel," Marcus Vance announced, his voice carrying across the silent room. "This estate is owned 100% by the Claire Sterling Living Trust. You are a guest—and as of five minutes ago, your license to occupy this property has been revoked."
Rachel panicked, grabbing Daniel’s navy suit jacket. "Daniel! Do something! What about the loan papers?!"
