Chapter 4 - The Legal Guillotine
Standing by the glowing pool, Ethan clutched his red, stinging cheek as Clara looked down at her smartphone screen.
The digital notification from her attorney read: EMERGENCY FILING CONFIRMED. ASSETS FROZEN. SERVERS DISPATCHED.
Clara looked up, her gray eyes locking onto Ethan with a profound, terrifying emptiness. The love she had once held for him was completely erased.
"My lawyer just invoked our prenup’s infidelity clause," Clara declared in a cold, composed tone that sent shivers down the spines of the wealthy guests watching from the patio. "You walk away with nothing, Ethan."
Ethan froze. The arrogant, defensive anger in his eyes vanished, replaced instantly by absolute, paralyzing horror as the financial reality of the situation crashed down on his shoulders.
"Wait... no!" Ethan stammered, his voice dropping into a panicked, breathless whisper. "Clara, you can't do this! You can't take everything! This is my house too!"
"You didn't put a single dime into the down payment, Ethan," Clara replied softly, her voice slicing through the warm night air. "And according to the document you signed three years ago, a cheating spouse forfeits all marital property. I own the house. I own the accounts. And as of ten minutes ago, your joint credit cards are officially declined."
