Chapter 12 - Luca Files Emergency Custody Petitions In Family Court

The formal legal documents arrived at my art studio via a high-priced courier service on a rainy Tuesday afternoon.
I ripped open the heavy cream envelope, my hands trembling as I read the embossed court stamp inside.

He was using top-tier matrimonial attorneys known for dismantling opposing mothers in high-net-worth custody wars.
Panic surged through my chest, threatening to rob me of the breath in my lungs.
They had billion-dollar legal teams, federal connections, and infinite financial resources to crush my quiet life.

“Victoria, my billionaire ex-husband just ambushed me with a custody lawsuit; I need you here tonight.”
