Chapter 1 - The Cold Departure
Arthur walked through the double doors of his luxury modern foyer, laughing loudly alongside his mistress, Genevieve.
In their hands were dozens of high-end designer shopping bags from Fifth Avenue. Genevieve, wearing a sleeveless red dress with a gold belt, was adjusting her sunglasses when her eyes suddenly locked onto the foyer.
Standing by the entrance was Arthur’s wife, Teresa. She wore an elegant off-white wrap dress, holding her six-year-old son, Ethan, in her arms while pulling a black rolling suitcase.
"Teresa? What are you doing with those bags?" Arthur asked, freezing in shock as his handsome face turned pale.
Teresa didn't yell. She didn't cry. She held her son tightly, looking back at Arthur with cold, stoic eyes.
"Check the yellow envelope on the dining table, Arthur," Teresa said in a calm, icy tone.
Arthur dropped his shopping bags, scrambling frantically toward the dining table. He tore open the heavy yellow envelope, and his knees instantly buckled onto the beige marble floor.
Inside were official divorce papers, frozen bank account notices, and a compromising photograph showing Arthur handing a briefcase of cash to corrupt city commissioner Harrison Drake.
"How... how did she get these?!" Arthur stammered, his voice cracking in sheer terror.
Genevieve dropped her shopping bags in terror, looking over his shoulder at the documents that exposed their entire illegal network. "Arthur... is that Harrison Drake? We're ruined!"
