Chapter 2 - The Husband Stands Shocked Outside The Iron Gates

The heavy iron security gates of the Greenwich estate slammed shut with a resounding, metallic finality.
Julian stared at the towering stone pillars in absolute disbelief, his designer suit jacket hanging uselessly over his arm.
“You can’t lock us out of our own home, Vivienne!” Julian screamed, pounding his fist against the reinforced steel bars.
Inside the landscaped courtyard, I watched him from the grand portico with a cold, unyielding smile on my face.
“It’s not your home, Julian; it belongs to the Sterling Family Trust, and my grandfather signed the deed,” I replied evenly.
His mother, Eleanor, clutched her mink coat around her shoulders, her face flushing with humiliated rage in the chilly night air.
“This is a mistake, some kind of administrative error! Call your father right now, Vivienne!” Eleanor shrieked hysterically.
“My father passed away two years ago, leaving me sole trustee and absolute controller of this estate,” I stated clearly.

Two armed security guards stepped forward, standing directly behind Julian and Eleanor to ensure they stayed off the property line.
“You’re both trespassers now, so I suggest you find a hotel before the local police arrive to escort you away,” I added.
