The court enforced the prenup to the letter.

Luca received exactly zero dollars from the five-million-dollar sale of the estate.

He received zero spousal support.

And he was ordered to repay the eighteen thousand four hundred dollars he and his family had run up in Miami on my card.

He walked out of the marriage with precisely what he had walked in with, which was nothing, because everything he had enjoyed for the length of our marriage had always, without exception, been mine.

Deprived of my house and my money and the lifestyle they had all been coasting on for years, Luca moved into a modest two-bedroom apartment — with his mother and his sister, the three of them together at last, with no one left to blame but each other.
