She grabbed her designer purse, avoiding the stares of\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"73\" data-index-in-node=\"94\">Trevor<\/b>\u2019s horrified sisters, and bolted for the front door, stepping right over the black cloth I had dropped.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"74\">I walked over to the head of the table, picked up my purse, and looked down at\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"74\" data-index-in-node=\"79\">Trevor<\/b>\u2019s weeping form on the floor.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"75\">\u201cOur prenuptial agreement has a very strict infidelity and moral turpitude clause,\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"75\" data-index-in-node=\"83\">Trevor<\/b>,\u201d I said, my voice echoing clearly through the ruined dining room. \u201cYou leave this marriage with exactly what you brought into it: absolutely nothing.

We\u2019re family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"77\">\u201cNo,\u201d I said, looking at the giant photograph under the chandelier one last time. \u201cYou\u2019re just a bad investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"78\">I walked out of the house, leaving the screaming, the shattered glass, and the crumbling family dynasty behind me.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"79\">Six months later, the divorce was finalized in a record-breaking fifteen minutes.\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"79\" data-index-in-node=\"82\">Trevor<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"79\" data-index-in-node=\"93\">Chloe<\/b>\u00a0were both indicted on federal grand larceny and wire fraud charges.\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"79\" data-index-in-node=\"167\">Trevor<\/b>\u00a0took a plea deal for four years in a federal penitentiary, while\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"79\" data-index-in-node=\"239\">Chloe<\/b>\u2019s assets were entirely seized by\u00a0<b data-path-to-node=\"79\" data-index-in-node=\"278\">Arthur<\/b>\u2019s legal team, leaving her completely broke and blacklisted from high society.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"80\">On a beautiful Wednesday morning exactly one year later, I sat on the sun-drenched deck of my new oceanfront condo. I poured myself a fresh cup of warm coffee, opened my tablet, and looked over my personal financial statements.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"81\">My accounts were thriving, my mind was entirely clear, and my life was completely my own.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"82\">My phone buzzed on the table. It wasn\u2019t a threat, a text from a mistress, or a frantic apology. It was just a notification from the bank, confirming a quiet, massive deposit. I smiled, took a sip of my coffee, and looked out at the endless horizon.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"83\">The centerpiece of my life was finally exactly what it was supposed to be: pure, unadulterated freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 2 of 2 His eyes narrowed.
