Not a marriage.

Her right to an unbraced life.

Chapter 17 — The Divorce

My divorce was finalized in record time.

Faced with irrefutable evidence of marital misconduct, corporate fraud, and the dissipation of marital assets, all of it meticulously documented, Julian’s legal team had collapsed under the weight of it almost immediately.

There was nothing to fight.

The court awarded me sole physical custody of Maya, full ownership of our home, which had always been mine anyway, and substantial child support.

Julian was further ordered to repay the twenty-five thousand dollars he had drained from our joint savings account to fund his affair.
