Chapter 7 - The Final Severance
Eric was shoved out onto the front porch, dragging three black garbage bags full of his clothes. He looked around the massive, beautiful estate he had taken for granted, realizing he was about to lose the luxurious lifestyle he had enjoyed for free.
He saw Clara’s luxury SUV parked at the end of the driveway. Clara stood leaning against the hood, wearing large dark sunglasses, sipping a hot coffee as she watched the eviction unfold.
"Clara! Please!" Eric wept, dropping his garbage bags on the wet grass and running toward her. "I'm sorry! I'll tell my mom to leave! I'll get a job! Please don't throw away our marriage over this!"
Clara lowered her sunglasses, looking at the pathetic, cowardly man she had once loved.
"You threw away our marriage the second you let your mother pack my bags, Eric," Clara replied, her voice completely devoid of emotion.
She reached into her beige quilted purse, pulled out a thick manila envelope, and handed it directly to Eric.
"Those are the divorce papers," Clara stated with absolute finality. "My lawyer has already filed the asset protection motion. Because you have no income, you don't qualify for alimony. You get exactly what you brought into this marriage. Nothing."
Eric collapsed onto his knees on the driveway, weeping hysterically into his hands as his mother stood on the curb, screaming at the police officers.
