Chapter 9 - PREPARING THE COUNTERATTACK
By midnight, Ethan had assembled a comprehensive legal dossier detailing Richard Montgomery's massive financial crimes.
He printed three hard copies, binding them securely inside black leather folders with official legal seals.
"I'm meeting with the Assistant District Attorney in the morning," Ethan informed Maya as they prepared for bed.
"Are you sure you want to send both of your parents to prison, Ethan? The press coverage will be brutal," Maya expressed worry.
"They brought war into our home, Maya. They tried to destroy our marriage and endangered our newborn baby," Ethan reasoned.
Maya sat on the edge of the bed, running her fingers through her long wavy brown hair in deep thought.
"I just want Liam to grow up safe, far away from all this toxic wealth and hatred," Maya whispered softly.
"He will. Once I strip Richard of his power, they will never be able to touch us again," Ethan promised, kissing her forehead.
In the nursery down the hall, baby Liam let out a tiny, peaceful sigh, sleeping blissfully unaware of the storm brewing outside.
