Chapter 11 - The Last Weapon

Isaac had kept one thing hidden.

A copy of a private marriage agreement.

He believed it gave him access to a portion of Flora's estate.

He took it to an attorney.

The attorney read it twice.

Then shook his head.

“This won't help you.”

Isaac slammed his hand against the desk.

“She signed it.”

“She signed a version.”

Isaac froze.

“What does that mean?”

“The original agreement was amended before the marriage.”

“By whom?”

The attorney looked at him.

“Your wife's family.”

Isaac's stomach dropped.

The amendment contained one condition.

If the husband committed fraud, financial abuse, or violence against the wife, his claims to the protected assets disappeared.

Isaac had triggered every condition.

His final weapon was worthless.

He left the office furious.

Then his phone rang.

A blocked number.

“Isaac?”

“Who is this?”

“You've been asking questions about Flora.”

Isaac stopped walking.

“Who are you?”

The caller laughed quietly.

👉 Isaac had just discovered that someone else had been watching his marriage from the beginning.
